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

I think its great that black history month is being celebrated here. It definitely makes people more aware of certain cultures by doing so. Great post.
