Librarian Way

I received the following annoucement from Sanda Erdelez on behalf of the ASIS&T SIGUSE (American Society for Information Science and Technology, Information Needs Seeking and Use Group) in my email this morning:

Please join us next Tuesday (September 20, 2005) from 8:00-8:30 PM Central Time for a first live webcast about topics in human information behavior research.

Host: Sanda Erdelez, University of Missouri

Guest: Karen Fisher, U. of Washington, Chair SIG USE

Karen will talk about the Theories of Information Behavior, a book in ASIS&T monograph series that was published this summer by Information Today.

LiS Webcast is also known as LISRadio at the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT) at the University of Missouri-Columbia. They intend to “present interesting and stimulating conversations with movers, shakers, and the odd gadfly or two in libraryland.” The September 6, 2005 webcast is titled “Job Opportunities for Next Gen Librarians.”

They also have an “On the Job” webcast on Thursdays, in which they interview past graduates of SISLT.

Webcasts are archived.
