NMRT Meet & Greet

Marydee @ 9:57 am

I went to the New Members Meet & Greet last evening. (Hey, why not? It’s the only thing during the whole conference scheduled at my hotel!) Lots of great LIS students were there, some just graduated, some about to graduate. I learned from David Gross that San Jose State University is offering a one-credit course to its students attending ALA. The students have to trade business cards with people they meet at the conference (and I, of course, had left mine in my room, so I owe David a card), attend sessions, visit the exhibit hall, keep a journal log of their activities, and when they return to San Jose, write a paper researching something new that interested them from the conference. I think this is a super idea! Do other graduate library schools do this?
