SLIS Commemorates 40th Anniversary of ALA Accreditation
Celebrate "Forty for Forty" - Forty Outstanding Alumni to Be Recognized
SLIS celebrates its fortieth accreditation anniversary in 2008. During the past forty years, SLIS alumni have applied the knowledge, values, and skills they learned while in graduate school to make significant contributions in a wide range of library and information settings. The "Forty for Forty" celebration will honor the profound impact that SLIS alumni have had in both the public and private sectors.
Did you know that a SLIS alumnus has served as California State Librarian? Were you aware that a SLIS alumnus, working as a school librarian, played a key catalyst role in getting Francis Ford Coppola to transform W.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders into a cinematic classic? Our Forty for Forty dinner and reception will be held on November 29th — plan to attend and help us to recognize the achievements of our graduates by making your nomination for an Outstanding Alumnus!
Participate in the Recognition Process - Nominate an Outstanding Alumnus!
To nominate an outstanding alumnus, fill out the Forty for Forty Alumni Nomination Celebration Form <http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/slis/events/slis40th/alumni40form.htm>.
The key criterion is the individual's professional contribution to the community, such as a school, municipality, college, law library, hospital library, etc. A candidate with a professional pattern of growth and development would make for a strong nomination.
Submit nominations by September 30, 2007 (self-nominations are accepted). Review will take place in October.
