A New Beginning for the UWO-CLA

Upon foundation, the UWO CLA was envisioned to be a student group that creates professional development opportunities for MLIS students by building on practical skills and cultivating invaluable networks. This vision continues today.

Our membership is made up of University of Western Ontario Master of Library and Information Science students who wish to connect with our community, network with experts and develop professionally. Although the group experienced a temporary hiatus, it is back strong and ready to host exciting events in a positive, welcoming environment.

Our hopes with this blog are to inform our local and national library communities about the issues that are important to us and the values we wish to uphold. Our hopes are for this semester are that we gain a firm base in UWO’s MLIS community and offer professional development events that meet the needs of our fellow students.

I encourage you to like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter to stay up to date and informed about UWO CLA events and weekly postings. If you are interested in joining or have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact me at rtravis5@uwo.ca

The UWO CLA is very excited about the upcoming semester and making a positive impact on our MLIS community.

Sincerely,
Robyn Travis
UWO CLA Chair (Summer 2013)
