The End...and the Beginning
The ALASC at Simmons has had a busy year and we're happy to see it come to a successful close. The leadership panel in April was an inspirational finish for those of us graduating & moving on to professional positions in the library field, and gave continuing students something to ponder as they consider how their studies will apply to the real world of work.
The ALA's National Conference is June 23-26 in Washington, D.C. Please feel free to contribute to the ALASC wiki if you're interested in finding a rideshare to D.C., looking to share a meal with another Simmons student, or just wondering what kinds of sessions other will be attending.
For those of you continuing on into the Summer Sessions at Simmons, keep an eye out for the ALASC.
We are seeking officers for the coming year! Please consider taking advantage of a great leadership opportunity while you continue with your studies at Simmons. Please contact Em Claire Knowles if you're interested in learning more about becoming an officer.
Finally, be sure to check the ALASC flickr page for entries in our library photo contest; the photos will be used to create MOO cards for the student group in the coming year. Thanks to our library photographers. Students are encouraged to submit photos to include on our flickr page at any time; so if you've attended a conference or would like to share a particularly bookish shot, send it our way at alascsimmons@gmail.com.
Have a fantastic spring & summer!
