Student Workshop: Alternative Careers with the MLIS

Alternative Careers with the MLIS

November 28, 6:00-7:00pm (PST)

Presenter: Toni Rodriguez (SJSU ASIS&T Student Chapter Member and SLIS student)

Topic: Alternative Careers with the MLIS: Course Specializations and Non-MLIS Environments

The topic for discussion will be career alternatives and variations in course selection within the MLIS degree. If you’re trying to transition into the library world, but find yourself competing for jobs with more seasoned library professionals, there’s no reason why you should limit your job search to libraries (public or academic).  There’s always a need for information professionals in every sector, it’s all up to you. Join us for a conversation and investigation on possible pathways for your career.

Length: Approximately 30 minutes (including time for Q&A)
