Student Round Table Report
Submitted by Marsha Schnirring, SRT Chair
There's plenty of room at the table, so pull up a chair and get involved!
Response to the newly formed Student Round Table has been quite enthusiastic and we now have over 70 members! The web page and listserv are in place, and a first draft of our Standing Rules is in the works.
Looking forward, I envision a variety of networking and professional development activities for Round Table members:
- Quarterly dinner/speaker meetings throughout the state
- Partnering with the CLA Mentoring program
- Library tours and workshops
- SRT Newsletter
If vision is to become reality, however, we need interested and willing SRT members to make it happen. Please email me at mschnirr@slis.sjsu.edu if you are interested in volunteering in any of these ways:
Area coordinators (Bay Area, Central Coast, Eastern Sierra, Gold Country, Inland Empire, North Coast, Northern Mountains, Sacramento Valley, San Joaquin Valley, Southland, Wine Country) Serve as point-of-contact, organize dinner/speaker meetings, library tours, and workshops.
School liaisons (CSULB, SJSU, UCLA, and community colleges with Library Technician programs) Serve as point-of-contact, collect and distribute information.
Newsletter editor Edit and publish SRT quarterly electronic newsletter.
Finally, we're planning a number of activities at the November CLA conference in Pasadena:
- Coffee Crawl (Friday night, 11/4) - a progressive exploration of Pasadena's coffee houses and a lively discussion of the future of librarianship
- Business meeting (Saturday morning, 11/5)
- Various student volunteer activities throughout the conference
If you are not currently a member of the Student Round Table and are interested in joining, contact the CLA office at info@cla-net.org and request to be added.
More soon ...
