CLA Zine Preview!


The UWO-CLA blog regularly publishes writings of its student members in order to allow our them to express their thoughts and opinions on issues in library and information science. These writings are not meant to represent the views of the UWO-CLA itself or the greater CLA organisation. Your comments and questions are encouraged on this blog. If you wish to contact the UWO-CLA directly please email claatuwo@gmail.com.

We here at the CLA – UWO Chapter are currently working away at our upcoming zine. It is a collection of writing and art by inspired MLIS students involving experiences, musings, rants and maybe a few cats related to the world of library and information science. The zine will be a snapshot in time, a product of our sleepless nights as information professionals-in-the-making.

Here is a preview of what is to come, a short excerpt from a piece called Beyond the Banker’s Boxes: Visiting the Toronto Public Archives:

We were three students from an archives class new to the site, an opportunity to look at these archives with fresh perspectives and hot coffee. Expecting a building similar to Library and Archives Canada or even our own Weldon Library fortress, we had braced ourselves for an extended afternoon in a solemn labyrinth with dim lighting and low whispers.

We were to be proven wrong.
