The School of Library and Information Science at San José State University is pleased to invite you to attend our continuing Spring Colloquium Series featuring SLIS faculty and invited guests, as they address the challenges and promises of our rapidly changing profession. Presentations are free and open to the public.
We videotape each presentation for those who are unable to actually attend them live. Links to an Internet webcast (streaming video), an RSS feed, and/or an iTunes Portal podcast (usually both audio and video versions) will be posted to the Colloquia: Spring 2009 calendar web page at http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/slis/colloquia/2009/colloquia09sp.htm about a week after each event.
