Librarian - best career in 2008

Librarian made the U.S. News & World Report's list for best careers in 2008. Wootwoot! And I'm sure there are some librarians/info specialists out there working as Usability/User Experience Specialists, another top job. Thanks for the heads up on this, SCP!

Welcome to 2008!

Hopefully your holiday season was filled with fun, food and relaxation. Now its back to the old "nose to the grind stone". Here's an interesting idea from U of A. The CLA Student Chapter had a great idea for the holiday season. They held a book drive for Santas Anonymous in December. According to the update they provided on Jerome-L:

"We collected 65 books and raised $217 to buy an additional 24 books, totaling 89 books. We'd also like to thank Greenwoods Bookshoppe who gave us a discount on the books we bought and donated an additional 36 books as well as many galley copies."

What a great way to give back. Feel free to send Angie or myself any interesting news stories from your student chapter and we would be happy to post them to this blog!
