As future librarians and information professionals we are natural networkers. We share information with others freely, and when given the chance we genuinely enjoy helping people out. And yet, when it comes to our own navigation through the course selection web, we don’t have a good way to share with other SLIS’ers our experiences and “words of advice.”
The creation of this blog is attempts to help “lend a hand,” assist each other, and provide information to SLIS newbies as we journey through our respective programs. We hope to hear from individuals from all interests in the library and info science world. We hope to hear from people discussing:
- What top 5 courses have been helpful?
- Course offerings in other departments
- Career or internship advice
- Unique, upcoming course offerings
For me, the best bit of advice I received was to take the STEPS classes whenever you get a chance. This semester the refreshers in programming languages, access, and excel have been a great investment of my time.
With summer registration right around the corner, we hope to hear from other SLIS’ers real soon!
