Announcing the LISIG (Library and Information Science Interest Group)

The Syracuse University School of Information Studies is working with
the Onondaga County Public Library and Syracuse University Libraries to
create the Library and Information Science Interest Group (LISIG).

The goal of LISIG is to bring together:

– librarians,
– Masters and PhD students interested in LIS,
– faculty members, and
– other interested parties

together on a regular basis to talk about bigger issues in library and
information science. The goal is to connect academia with practice by
facilitating cooperative research projects that connect faculty and
students with the needs of CNY libraries. Librarians are invited to
attend and bring their research needs for presentation.

Meetings are open to anyone interested and will be held twice a month,
once at OCPL and once at Bird library.

Meetings will be on Tuesdays from 1-2:30.

The fall dates and tentative locations are:

Oct. 10 – Syracuse University, Bird Library, Hillyer Room
Oct. 31 – OCPL, Central Library, Board Room (in the Galleries)
Nov. 14 – OCPL, Central Library, Board Room (in the Galleries)
Nov. 28 – Syracuse University, Bird Library, Hillyer Room
Dec. 5 – OCPL, Central Library, Board Room (in the Galleries)
Dec. 12 – Syracuse University, Bird Library, Hillyer Room
