SUMMARY:SLASC Presents: Building a Presidential Library
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Special Libraries Association Student Chapter (SLASC) on Thursday\, August 28th\, 2025 from 5:00-6:00 PM (PT) for a special presentation from the Obama Presidential Library\, a part of the National Archives.

This should be a fun and educational kickoff to the Fall 2025 lineup of speakers. \nRegister here:  \nhttps://sjsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/Z3BN_ewPTB-kVvcij_OweQ
