The Dalhousie SLA Student Group was formed in
September of 2000 by a small group of MLIS students at the School of
Information Management (SIM) in order to provide networking and
professional development opportunities for students interested in the
special library field. From this initial core of five or six members, we
have grown to a sizeable group with over twenty members, and have
continued to reach out to the special library community in Halifax and
beyond.
Our primary efforts are directed towards organizing library tours and
networking events in order to give our student members a chance to meet
with professional librarians working in special library environments.
Each year we organize several tours of special libraries in the Halifax
area. Previous tours have included the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the
Bedford Institute of Oceanography, the Cambridge Military Library, and
the CBC Music and News Libraries, to name but a few.
Our current goal is to develop better connections with other library
organizations within the Halifax area. If you are an information
professional working in a special library environment or information
center and would be willing to give a tour of your facility or
participate in SLA-sponsored networking events, contact the
SLA Student Group External Relations Coordinator.
If you are an MLIS student interested in the SLA Student Group, please
contact the SLA Student
Group President
