Do you wear your sixties-style glasses precariously low on your nose?
Do you pull your hair back into a bun so tight that violin strings might blush?
Do you wish to shush any errant senseless whispers in your vicinity?

No. Are you sure? Then what good is a degree in Library Science?

Welcome to MLIS Information Day 2014


UCF Libraries invite you to the John C. Hitt Library, on May 2, 2014, for an honest and up close look at Librarianship in today’s society. This full-day professional conference looks at how to overcome some of the current problems facing MLIS graduates entering the job market, how new trends in technology are changing libraries, and how to cope in an ever changing library environment.

This FREE conference is open to anyone who is interested in, currently working on, or has already earned their MLIS degree. Along with the host of speakers giving talks on a host of topics, there will also representatives from the Information Science programs at USF and FSU.

This program is made possible through the sponsorship of:
