LTAIG Newsletter – October Issue
One of the coolest things I get to do as a member of the LTAIG committee is put together our new(ish) newsletter. Our third issue was published yesterday, and is available here. Two of my law library technician colleagues and fellow VALL members, Kathy Barry and Christina Tribe, generously contributed articles for this issue.
Kathy’s recollection of her library tech program practicums should be of interest to students who are at that stage in their own studies, and is a great reminder of how important it is to try out whatever you can while you’re in school – I had no idea I would wind up in a law library, but I got my foot in the door during a practicum at Faskens, and I’ve been working in one ever since graduation.
Christina’s recap of SLA/CASLIS seminar “A Google Smorgasboard” provides a thorough overview of what you missed if you were unable to attend, as I was. One of the speakers at that seminar was Eugene Barsky, who will be presenting “WIKing in your library: a practical overview” at the October 19th VALL luncheon. Should be great!
