Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, the Lakeland Library prepared an handout listing the various resources available at the Library on the topic as well as a selection of e-journals and databases. It is available at the Front Desk.

UPDATED – Free workshops on librarianship

Please see the comments for a January 22nd session in the Tampa Bay area!

****************************

These may not be taking place near Lakeland, but could still be interesting source of information. Job opportunities for MLIS/MIS graduates are very diverse and, in my opinion, fullfilling. These workshops are organized by the Northeast Florida Library Information Network (NEFLIN).

Here are the links to the two schools in Florida offering those degrees:
USF’s School of Library and Information Science
FSU’s College of Information

**************************
Becoming a Library and Information Professional: All About Graduate School

  • Are you working in a library and wondering what it would take to get a Master’s Degree to become a professional Librarian, Information Professional or School Media Specialist?
  • Do you know or work with someone who should consider looking into library school to further his or her career?

In this informative workshop we’ll cover the degree programs at FSU and USF, admission requirements, distance learning options, costs and financial aid availability. Join us for all your questions to be answered. Two dates and locations. Free for all.

Trainers: Christie Koontz, FSU and Andrea LaRochelle, USF

Monday, January 28, 1:00 – 4:00 pm at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville
