Speaking at Langara

I have two speaking engagements this month at Langara College. On Thursday I will be representing LTAIG as part of a panel discussion on the benefits of association membership. Other panelists will represent the British Columbia Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, the Special Libraries Association, and the Vancouver Association of Law Libraries. This is an annual session for first year fieldwork students in the Library & Information Technology Program. This will be my third year as a panelist. It wasn’t all that long ago (2003) that I was a first year student listening to the same discussion, so it’s kind of cool being on the other side of it.

On March 18th I’ll be back at Langara to speak to a second year class about working as a webmaster at my firm. The class is in the midst of learning about developing library websites. While the websites I manage are not quite ”library” sites, I’m looking forward to tying the work involved in managing them to my library technician training. I will be speaking alongside Joyce Wong, who manages Langara’s Library website.
