CLA Student Chapter Leaders!
Thanks to the CASLIS Ottawa blog for posting this great introduction to our CLA Student Chapter reps!
Survey on the Engagement of New Library Professionals in Leadership
NLIP IG is pleased to post the following on behalf of Kathleen Delong:
This is your invitation to participate in a web survey on leadership engagement of new library professionals. The survey is directed to new professionals who have worked for five years or less since graduating with a Masters degree in Librarianship (graduated in years 2000 to 2007). The survey data is being collected for purposes of a study carried out in fulfillment of requirements for the PhD Managerial Leadership in the Information Professions program at the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science in Boston, MA.
The short survey (shouldn't take more than 15 minutes) probes various factors associated with leadership engagement of new professionals in Canadian libraries. It is your choice whether or not you wish to participate in the survey, participation is entirely voluntary. You can terminate the survey at any time by closing your browser. There will be no penalty or consequence for doing so.
Responses are anonymous and data will be reported without any identifying characteristics.
This survey has been approved by the Simmons College Institutional Review Board. Although I am professionally affiliated with the University of Alberta, this survey is not related to my work with the University of Alberta Libraries.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me at kathleen.delong @ simmons.edu

Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk
Good news! Our conference proposal was approved and is on the schedule for the annual CLA conference - this year hosted by the beautiful city of Vancouver. This is what you'll see in the upcoming conference documentation from CLA (due out in January, I believe):
Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk: Reflections on Work from New Librarians and Information Professionals
E-publishing, Web 2.0 and other digital initiatives are changing the landscape of information and the way we do business. Are new information professionals prepared to take on the ever-changing information world? What plans do they have to ensure they connect with the users of this information? What are some of their professional expectations as they embark upon new careers? What challenges and opportunities have they encountered?To address some of these questions (and a whole host of others), this panel session of new librarians and information professionals (1-5 years work experience) who will discuss their career choices and share their most important pieces of advice. This will be followed by an open question period. Panel members are professionals from a variety of industry streams including academic, public, and special libraries.
Moderator: Allison Sivak, University of Alberta
Panel speakers: To be confirmed
Brought to you by The New Librarians and Information Professionals Interest Group and co-sponsored by the following CLA divisions: CAPL, CACUL, CASLIS, and CASL.
