Beyond the Shelf

Now that we’ve all started to settle back into university life, I think it’s time for some introductions. My name is Coady Sidley, and I’m your new MISSA Publications Chairperson. I’m entering my second year in the MISt program with a focus on librarianship. This will be my first time taking over responsibility for this blog, and I’m excited to take on the challenge.

Personally, I’m hoping to write about student association activities and events, crowdsourced advice from other students, and hopefully some interviews with professionals in the field. Most of all, I would like to make this blog a collaborative space for SIS students to share information about the topics and events that they’re passionate about.

Call for Submissions

Do you have a burning desire to share your thoughts on any topic in the realm of information studies? Have you attended a conference or event that you think others should know about? Do you just want to see your name in print and are looking for a place to show off your work? Here’s your chance!

One of my main goals for the blog this year is to turn it into more of a community project, which is where you come in. This is an open invitation for students to write a guest post (or several, if you want!) for the blog. Posts can be on any subject related to our field.

Interested? Send me an email at coady.sidley@mail.mcgill.ca for more information or to propose a topic.
