The fall colloquia series continues Tuesday, October 4 with a presentation by a spring 2011 graduate of our School’s Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program, Jeff Frank, who is also a software support specialist with San Jose State University’s CMS Project Team. Mr. Frank’s thesis explored disaster preparedness, specifically in regards to Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast Libraries. This important talk will help you prepare your library for a disastrous situation.
Later in the month, on Wednesday, October 19, Jane Meyers, president of the Lubuto Library Project, Inc., will discuss the Lubuto Library Project’s efforts to assist with both educational and economic development in Zambia. This colloquia presentation will inspire you to get involved and share your LIS knowledge for the betterment of our worldwide communities.
October also marks the fall semester’s first colloquia presentation featuring our School’s Master of Archives and Records Administration (MARA) program. Robert McLauchlin, records and information governance lead with North American ECM Deployment Talisman Energy, will discuss how to design and implement an enterprise content management (ECM) strategy and governance initiative. Join us Wednesday, October 26 for this must-attend presentation, especially for records managers.
Rounding out the October schedule is the second installment to our very timely Career Colloquia Series, providing invaluable career guidance. If you’re considering applying for a job with the federal government, set the alarm on your mobile device for 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, October 26. Cherie Givens, SJSU SLIS adjunct faculty member and assessment specialist librarian with the U.S. Government Printing Office, joins Helen Sherman, director of component information support for Defense Technical Information Center, to advise you on how to navigate the hiring and application process for federal government information jobs.
