Dear all,
A great chance for any students interested in Law and Special Librarianship – please do pass it on to your students.
Announcement from the SLA Legal Division Student Relations Committee Chair, Grace Rosales:
Do you like hearing about the latest legal cases or staying on top business and legal trends? Then consider being a Law Librarian! Law librarians work in many
settings including law schools, law firms, government libraries and many public and private companies. They go by many titles: law librarian, researcher or information analyst.
If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting field, then join the SLA Legal Division. SLA Legal Division offers a wide variety of online education
opportunities designed to sharpen professional skills throughout your career. Previous webinar topics have included using social media tools for research, business communication, and career development/job search. You can also find a mentor to help you learn
more about law librarianship.
As an incentive to join Legal Division, the Student Relations Committee will sponsor a contest to win 10 SLA student memberships. Just write a short paragraph
describing your interest in the legal information profession and send this to SLA Student Relations Committee Chair Grace Rosales ([log in to unmask]) by Friday, June 22, 2012.
