Sign up for SLA Day on the Job
Are you interested in learning more about special libraries? Please consider participating in this year's SLA Boston Student Day on the Job event. Think of it as a one-day internship, or perhaps as a chance to visit a new type of library or information center before you decide where you want to work after graduation. Even if you are planning on pursuing a career outside of special libraries, why not take advantage of this great opportunity to compare and contrast the environments?
