The Chapter gratefully acknowledges the support of Information Express for this event.

Ellen Mehling, Manager of Metro’s JobMagnet Website, will be offering tips for job success for experienced professionals. Many librarians who have been info pros for years are facing particular challenges now, in the current economy, and some are finding that they need (or want) to retool or reinvent themselves professionally. Tips and advice in this presentation will include the role of "soft" skills in your career, do's and don'ts for career success in changing times, and discussion of obstacles  (internal and external) you may find yourself facing.

ABOUT THE EVENT
The networking will begin at 5:30 pm and a buffet-style dinner will begin at 6:15 pm with Ellen’s presentation to follow.

Can anything said in 140 characters or less really be worth keeping? Obviously somebody thinks so.

Do you think so?

Volunteer a few hours of your time to help the next generation of special librarians!

We got the following request from Madelyne Burr, President of the Rutgers student chapter of SLA (RUSLA). They need 2-3 special librarians and if possible 1 law librarian too represent special libraries at their upcoming Career Fair to be held at Rutgers SCI on April 21st from 4:00 - 6:30 pm.

Please contact Madelyne directly at [email protected] if you are interested in participating.

Just a few hours of your time can help influence the next generation of special librarians!

Regards,
--Cheryl Erenberg
NJSLA Director of Communications

Greetings from Rutgers!

On April 21st there will be a  Career Fair held for MLIS students in the Rutgers' School of Communication and Information.  The fair is sponsored by 2 student groups (LISSA and RUSLA) and will involve a number of people. The idea is to have librarians from various sectors (academic, public, school, law, etc. etc.) available to speak one-on-one with students. There will also be a separate event which pairs NJLA librarians with students to review their resumes.

In addition, we would also like to have representatives from professional organizations (such as NJ SLA) available to speak with the students. I am on the planning committee for the event and as such, have been tasked with procuring librarians. I was wondering if anyone from NJ SLA would be interested in helping to staff the SLA table? The fair will run from apprx. 4:00-6:30pm and I believe it will probably be pretty well attended.

We would love to have at least 2 NJSLA representatives. It would also be great if we could get at least 1 law librarian.

Thank-you very much!!!
Madelyne Burr, President RUSLA
