McGill Student Chapter's blog

My name is Amanda Halfpenny and I am the new president of the student chapter of the ABQLA at McGill for 2009-2010. Last week marked the beginning of a new school year and the Library and Information Studies program at McGill is teeming with new arrivals who all seem nervous but optimistic about this new stage in their lives.

All are welcome to attend the next ABQLA McGill Student Chapter event.

We are happy to present JoAnne Turnbull, a graduate of McGill SIS '87, who will speak about her successful, multifaceted career in academic, public, law, and corporate libraries through good and difficult economic times.

Happy New Semester!

Come on out to the ABQLA Student Chapter's first meeting of the new semester on Wednesday, January 21 at 12:15 pm in MS 24.

We'll be electing a new Communications Officer (the last one just graduated - congratulations, David!), and letting you know about some great events planned for this semester.

We've got a great speaker coming at the end of the month, and we're dreaming up some fun social events to get us out of the McLennan basement.We'd love your input!

Bring your lunch - we'll provide the cookies.
