Speed Networking
This past Tuesday, was the CLA's Spped Networking Event. It was a clear and cool evening in London, and the Masonville Library was very warm & welcoming.
We would like to thank all of the professionals who attended:
They showed a great amount of enthusiasm, patience and knowledge when faced with 15 minutes of one-on-one discussion with students eager to know more about them and their careers.
We can't name any one librarian, archivist or prospect researcher as a favourite, because they were all amazing!
If you were not able to make it to this semester's networking event, we will be scheduling another one for next semester, so be ready.
