\n\u00b7We were happy to see some new Chinese SLAISers with strong computer background, and two guests who showed great interest in the career path as a librarian;
\n\u00b7Heather and Min shared with us their current roles and responsibilities at work, as well as some great thoughts and suggestions on career goal setting, relocation after graduation, etc., which are particularly valuable to those soon-to-graduate MLIS candidates;
\n\u00b7For the first time and with great success, Skype was used in our meeting to reach out to our friends located in Quebec and Florida;
\n\u00b7Everybody in the meeting was happy with this informative, straight 4 hour professional meeting and, of course, a full table of tasty snack food;
\n\u00b7Schedule for the next meeting was not discussed during the meeting, but according to the reflection of most attendees, a \u201chot and practical\u201d topic should be able to attract more friends to show up in our next gathering; and
\n\u00b7Special thanks to Jing, Ian, Linbo, Qi and Lili for their organization of and presentations in this successful meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
