See you this Friday, Oct. 2nd at 9 a.m. folks!

Just sent out the reminder for Friday’s meeting at Mercy College-Manhattan this morning.  We already have fourteen people say they are going to try to make it.  If you are thinking of coming, make sure Carrie knows so she can add you to the list the guard will have at the door on Friday.  See the post previous to this for all the details and links.

Please join the Association of College and Research Libraries, Greater New York Chapter (ACRL/NY) on Friday, October 2, 2009 for an open meeting of the New Librarians Discussion Group from 9-10:45 AM. This meeting will be a chance for new, or aspiring, librarians to come learn about the discussion group, discuss future events, and further involvement with ACRL/NY.  We will also have a guest librarian there who will talk about her first year as a librarian.  Executive Board members will be on hand to meet and greet participants.  Students and librarians in new positions are welcome too.  Refreshments will be served.  Come meet your fellow newbies and seize the opportunity to do some free networking.  Membership to ACRL/NY is not required for this meeting but will be necessary for future participation.

Welcome to the ACRL/NY New Librarians Discussion Group site!

This site has been created for the ACRL/NY New Librarians Discussion Group.  The site is open to anyone, but is also a place for members to come to get information, ask questions and share news.  It is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions for changes, additions, etc., please share.

Currently, I, Carrie Eastman, the Information Services/Interlibrary Loan Librarian at Purchase College Library am the group leader.  However, I do not intend to run this group by myself.   Yes, I take on the responsibility of organizing events, getting discussions going, and  keeping everyone informed and organized.  But, this group is run by its members.  So, if you have something you would like to see the group do, discuss, or get involved with, please do not hesitate to share it here. 

Also, when you have a moment, take the time to visit some of the sites in the blogroll on the right.  We currently have links to the ACRL/NY, ACRL/NY Symposium, ACRL, and the ACRL/NY User Experience Group sites.  More will be added, suggestions are welcome.

I will be posting an announcement for our next meeting, Oct. 2nd, shortly, so check back soon.
