In a December 19, 2007 post in their "Best Careers 2008" report, U.S. News & World Report lists "Librarian" as one of the best careers around ... I'm not sure about some of their information, but I was pleased to see a paragraph listing "Special Librarian" as a "Smart Specialty" ... and also a link to SLA under "Other Resources."
Law Librarian Blog summarizes highlights of a recent Pew Internet study. The Internet and library are the top and bottom percentage of sources for assistance in the survey that asked about 10 specific problems related to the government.
Information about the Kentucky Chapter of SLA, Special Section of KLA, and Academic Section of KLA Joint Spring Conference is now available.
Join us at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, April 23-25, for informative sessions and a chance to network with your colleagues. Registration form and payment are due March 21. For more information:

Hello Kentucky Chapter!

More meeting details are also available below.
The meeting will be on February 29 at Hall's on the River in Winchester, KY. Since we will be in Winchester, home of the Ale-8 bottling plant, we will be starting the day off with a tour of Ale-8 beginning promptly at 10:50 AM. I've Google Mapped the location of Ale-8 here: http://tinyurl.com/2t8an3.
After the tour we will meet for lunch at Hall's on the River at 12:30 PM for our business meeting and a speaker. Directions to Hall's can be found here: http://www.hallsontheriver.com/directions.php. The meeting fee will be $15 for members, $25 for nonmembers and $5 for students. This does not include lunch, which we will all pay for individually.
Emily Hicks from the University of Dayton will be speaking on Generations in Libraries. Here is an overview of that talk:
Today’s libraries employ four generations of workers with diverse worldviews, work philosophies, and life experiences. Hicks will explore characteristics of each generation and the impact they have on workplace values, on-the-job strengths, and expectations, and provide insights into each generation to assist managers and others. Diversity and generational gaps at the workplace with real-world examples from libraries will be discussed.
Hope to see you all there!
Ok, so it's legal news but still this post gives kudos to one of our own and the Transylvania Librarians in reviewing the 6th Circuit Sentencing case.
