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!
