Calgary Public Library visits UWO
The CLA-UWO Student Chapter would like to thank Karen Mark from coming to speak with our MLIS students last week. Karen is Human Resource Specialist, Recruitment & Selection for Calgary Public Library. Karen spent the whole day at FIMS talking with students, giving resume and cover letter advice and showing us all Calgary has to offer. Karen joined the CLA-UWO Student Chapter for our weekly meeting at the Grad Club giving us some insight into her role at CPL. Many students took advantage of this wonderful opportunity as Karen had a line up outside her door in the NCB!! Again, thank you to Karen for visiting, to FIMS for their support and to all the CLA student members who helped organize this event!
Many Thanks
On behalf of the CLA-UWO Student Chapter, we would like to thank Canadian Library Association President Keith Walker and Executive Director Kelly Moore for visiting us. The Student Chapter took Keith and Kelly on a walk through FIMS followed by a wonderful tour of The D.B. Weldon Library by Head of Research & Instructional Services Kristin Hoffman. The tours were concluded with an insider glimpse of the ARCC led by University Archivist Robin Keirstead. To end the day, we had a lovely reception in Michael's Garden Room. We hope all those in attendance had a great time and we look forward to next years visit!
We would also like to extend a special thank you to Gloria Leckie for all her support putting this event together. And, finally a big thanks to all those CLA student members who's hard work make this event a success!

Meeting Minutes: September 7, 2010
Minutes: September 7, 2010
President’s (Keith Walker ) visit is booked - food and drinks need to be arranged - Possible cracker and cheese plate, classier- Grad club is the venue. Food is usually 8-10 dollars per person. Invite wider range of visiting librarians. --- Issues: Budget, and level of formality. Let speaker know level of formality, so he knows what to expect.
Networking
- food brought us over budget. Two terms in a row. Need to cut down.
Meeting room in Masonville. Tuesday October, 5. Oct 19. might be better.
Call LPL and see when is available.
Mock interviews - Oct 13, GRC. Two weeks before - CV/interview seminar (Sept. 29).
Mentorship - invitation email will be sent out end of this week.
Calgary Public Library
- email from Sharon - rep. (Karen Mark) coming to speak to FIMS. How
to proceed? Will know better next week. No date or time as of yet.
Library Tours
- Choose new libraries. Potentially off campus? Children’s Hospital,
quite far away. Might need to arrange car pool. We’d also need to see
if it’s possible on their side. Sarah inquired about information on
arranging library tours.
Welcome to the Canadian Library Association-UWO Student Chapter website
CLA-UWO Student Chapter Summer 2010The CLA Student Chapter has been hard at work all term organizing professional events for MLIS students. We started the term with our Career Development Workshop lead by Ulla de Stricker. The all day event was a great success. Students came away with valuable information on resume writing, cover letters and advice on your their particular career type. Ulla's slides will be made available to all students who were unable to attend or just need a refresher on what was covered.
Our Professional Networking Event was held at the Masonville Branch of the London Public Library. Guests this term included Claire Callaghan from Kings University College, Julie Brandl from London Public Library, Jim Purser from the City of London, Shauna-Lee Konrad from London Health Sciences Center, Liz Mayville from the Oxford County Archives and Paul Klages from the Stiller Center. The event is rather akin to speed dating. Students are seated at a table with one professional, each session runs around 15 minutes giving students the opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for the prospective profession. When the allotted time is up, students move on to the next professional. Each term we include professionals from all areas of librarianship including archives, public, academic, special and government libraries. It is an excellent opportunity to meet professionals in a relaxed, no pressure atmosphere and it gets your name out there! Don't worry, if you missed this terms event, there is always next term! Keep your eyes open for CLA posters around FIMS or check back with our website for upcoming events. Thanks to Jennifer Mason and Janet Hatcher for all their hard work to arrange this event.
This term we were pleased to welcome guest speakers Delilah Deane Cummings and her volunteer co-ordinator Ellen Hobin from the London Public Library. The lunch hour talk focused on community outreach and how to get involved in summer literacy programs at LPL. Thank you to Maria for arranging this event.
As always, the CLA puts on library tours around the UWO campus. This term CLA has organized tours of the Bitove Family Law Library, The Map Library and the Education Library (Thursday, July 29).
The Map Library (downstairs in SSC) was a huge hit!
We had 21 students participate in the tour,
our largest turn out to date!
Here's our Vice Chair Courtney checking out a map.
As mentioned, the Education library tour will be Thursday, July 29, 2010 from 12:15 to 1pm. We hope to see you all there!! Thanks to Colin and Laura for putting the tours together.
Two new events this term were the CV writing workshop with Jim Brett from the Ontario Library Association and Mock Interviews. The CV writing workshop was particularly helpful for those wishing to pursue a career in academic librarianship. The CV writing workshop coupled well with mock interviews. For those unfamiliar with the mock interview session, students wishing to participate were sent a fictional job posting complete with timed deadlines and requirements. Resumes were sent to Jim Brett and are being distributed among the professionals who volunteered to interview at UWO. The mock interviews are 1 hour sessions in which students are interviewed by a team of professionals. After the "interview" portion is over, students are given feedback on the resume and interview skills. This is an excellent opportunity for students to hone their interview skills in a no risk situation. Thanks to Jim Brett and the OLA members for volunteering to help us out and to Elizabeth Yates for all her hard work getting these events together!
That about sums up the term so far........keep your eyes open for the final CLA event in August. It will be a good one!
