***********************************
Friday the 20th of September is also the deadline to register for SLA Day on the Job. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to learn more about a specific area of special librarianship. “Day on the Job” can be as simple as a conversation with a librarian in a special library you are interested in or it can be a full immersion experience such as shadowing a librarian at work for a day. More details will follow after registration is set.
