SLA WI Mentorship Opportunity 3/11

The SLA WI chapter is having a mentorship program at UWM on March 11. I emailed the organizer and she would love to see a contingent from Madison coming. It's a great opportunity to network and meet some working special librarians in WI. If you are interested in attending please register as directed and contact Kirstin for information about car pooling.

You are invited to join information professionals from around
southeastern Wisconsin to learn more about the Library Council
mentorship program.

LM2, a free social event, will take place on Thursday, Thursday,
March 11, 2010, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the UWM Libraries Conference Center, 2311 E. Hartford Avenue, Milwaukee. Open to all professional and
paraprofessional library staff in southeastern Wisconsin and to SOIS
graduate students, the event will introduce the mentorship program that
will match professional librarians or staff with other librarians/staff
at local institutions or match a professional with a SOIS student.
Representing many areas of expertise in academic, public, school, and
special libraries, mentors will provide professional advice,
encouragement and guidance on various aspects of librarianship.

The event is free and open to all Library Council member institutions
and their staff; SOIS faculty, staff and students; AND the greater

library community of southeastern Wisconsin. Admission is free but
registration is required by Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

To register, send your name, institution, phone and email to ryan@librarycouncil.org.

Join us to learn more about the program, register to be a mentor or to
be mentored, sample tasty treats, and network with fellow professionals.

This event is sponsored by the Library Council of Southeastern
Wisconsin, Inc., UWM School of Information Studies, and UWM Libraries.
