Hi all,

The results of the 2002 CE Survey are in (See Chapter Business). Thank you to Maryanne Blake for gathering and compiling the information. We had 54 people return surveys this year, which is a 26% increase in the number of responses from last year. Thank you to all who partcipated!! Your information is very valuable to the Professional Development Committee and to the CE coordinators of the annual meetings.

 

Thanks again,

FYI from the RML: Early Career Librarian Program

Training Institute for Early Career Librarians From Traditionally Underrepresented Groups

The University of Minnesota Libraries will offer its third training institute for twenty early career librarians who are from traditionally underrepresented groups and are in the first three years of their professional career. This week-long Institute, Sept. 28-Oct. 5, 2002, will have a two-fold focus, combining training in leadership and organizational behavior with developing a practical skill set in key areas for professional librarians. In addition, Institute participants will gain a community of peers with whom they will develop a support network that will continue through their professional careers. This program builds on the success of earlier institutes offered in 1998 and 2000.
