Today I had the conference call with the SLA Toronto chapter president and president-elect. It was a very productive call. I took the comments that people presented to me and let them know. Further, they are going to work with me (and others who are interested!) in bringing back an official SLA student group. They also said that they would help with disseminating information, making connections with students with perhaps mentorship, and having us connect with the U of T SLA chapter so we can see the kinds of things they are doing as well.
They even said that when it comes time for special libraries to get involved with co-op at FIMS, they will be huge supporters and get more special libraries on board. That means more special library experience! They are also going to try and connect to the SLA members in London, so that they can act as guestspeakers, mentors or even to increase volunteer opportunities.
Lots of really good special libraries stuff is coming our way at FIMS!
