2009

New year, new opportunities.

The myMetro SIG starts off 2009 with a program focusing on education.

"Continuing education" isn't just for adults getting their bachelor's degrees anymore--it's now a requirement for most of us in the rapidly-changing American workforce.

Educational opportunities for beginning and mid-career librarians abound. (We all get our fair share of notices about upcoming seminars and workshops, don't we?) This evening's program will be a panel discussion about education and retraining within the context of your career. What skills will you need to acquire for the future (and plan for today)? When is a one-time workshop enough, and when does a more long-term commitment to education make sense? What are today's library students learning that mid-career librarians should know about, too?

We look forward to hearing your questions.
