Library of Congress Trip

Last Friday, we visited the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Not only did they give us a bit of the general tour like last year, but we also got to go inside the reading room and take a look at what goes on behind the scenes.

We also received an interesting discussion regarding some of the rare collections at the Library of Congress, and got to see not only a Nuremberg Chronicle, but some older newspapers and comic book covers.

We look forward to seeing you come with us next year!

Our First Annual Mentoring Dinner

 On Wednesday, May 8th, we had our first annual mentoring dinner!

Students were paired with area library and information science professionals according to their interests and asked questions about various topics in information science.

We had a wonderful time. Not only did students get to meet alumni and professionals, but through an ice-breaker session, we were able to connect with some of our fellow students as well.We hope to see everyone again next year!
