Beyond the Shelf

A group made up of students with an interest in corporate information centres, government libraries, etc. or, as they have been called, “special” libraries. Getting jobs, getting access to webinars, and staying on top of things in your field are priorities for current and future information professionals, yet the classroom rarely provides the opportunities to do these things. Networking and exposure do. This year, the SLA is looking at staging networking events, ensuring information professionals from Special Libraries are included in the SIS lunch-hour speaker series, arranging tours of Special Libraries that represent students’ interests, and becoming more visible within the McGill University community through fundraising events.
