ACRL Chapter Meeting, October 24

Greetings,

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), an academic libraries subdivision of the ALA, is holding its Western PA/West VA chapter meeting on the 24th of October. It will take place at Duquesne University in the Duquesne Union on the third floor in the Duquesne Room, so that should be easy to remember. Registration begins at 10 AM, and the event ends at 12:30 PM.

I strongly encourage all MLIS students to attend, no matter your specialization nor your membership status with ALA or ACRL. It will give you an opportunity to meet practicing librarians and familiarize yourself with the profession.

Maps and parking, general information about the local chapter, and the flyer for the event itself are at the links provided. If you use public transportation, many, if not most, buses heading downtown will suffice, but double-check the Port Authority's website further.

Business casual is the order of the day, so dress well, but no need for suits, gentlemen. (I'm less certain about dress options for women, but use your best judgment.) Good luck, and don't forget to bring a folio and plenty of resumes!
