\"ASIS&amp;T<\/p>\n

This month we’re kicking off our “Member of the Month” series, highlighting the work of Simmons students and their involvement with ASIS&T. Throughout the series we will learn more about our peers, get inspiration, and celebrate the achievements of our community.<\/p>\n

To start, we are featuring Wenqing (Wen) Lu, a current Ph.D. student who participates regularly in ASIS&T annual meetings. We asked Wen a few questions about her work. Check out Wen’s responses to learn about how ASIS&T can impact your career.<\/p>\n

How long have you been in SLIS, and what program are you in?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started my Simmons life in 2012 Fall. I finished my master’s program in LIS in 2014, and now I’m at the end of the Ph.D. program in LIS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How has being involved with ASIS&T Simmons (or ASIS&T in general) helped you move forward in your LIS career?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For me, ASIS&T is a great platform for presenting my research findings in the LIS fields. With co-authors, I presented some long papers and short papers to ASIS&T Annual Meetings (AM) since 2018. Last year, I was honored to be invited as a reviewer in the poster session of ASIS&T AM 2020. In addition, one of my co-authored papers received the “Best Information Behavior Conference Paper Award, 2020” in the SIG-USE Annual Symposium of ASIS&T. These are very important experiences for me. Besides the annual meetings, I visit the ASIS&T website from time to time, reading news, checking job postings, and signing up for events that are related to my study fields. This is very helpful information for me.<\/div>\n
