Call for bloggers

February 4, 2015
by

Attention readers: If you enjoy writing and blogging about academic libraries, the CRD has a great opportunity for you. The content for our blog has largely been generated by members of CRD board; however, we’re tired of hearing our own voices! This year, we are asking for volunteers who would be willing to contribute more original content to our blog (yes, this blog!). Volunteers would be part of a CRD “blog team” where each individual would be placed on a rotating schedule and asked to write and post content on a regular basis. Posts may consist of news, event announcements, commentary, or opinions relating to your own experience in academic libraries and/or academic libraries in general. If you enjoy writing and wish to share your ideas with a broader community, we would love to have you join our team. Although no prior experience with blogging is required, volunteers will need to create their own WordPress.com accounts in order to post to the blog. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering to be part of the team, please contact Katie Stewart, the CRD’s Social Media Coordinator, at katie.stwrt@gmail.com or 717-871-7122.

Please feel free to forward this message to your fellow colleagues or anyone else you know of that might be interested.

Thank you!

Safety and Security in the Campus Library
A Connect & Communicate Series Discussion

Friday, January 30, 12:00pm

During this hour, academic librarians are invited to share their experiences confronting dangerous situations in the library, as well as their concerns, thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for keeping themselves and their patrons safe.

This will be an informal discussion, during which all attendees are encouraged to participate. The easiest way to participate is through the use of a headset with microphone, but attendees may alternately participate via chat.

Register at the following link: http://goo.gl/forms/XWR9Y96Hjg

Join the conversation on Friday, January 30, at 12:00 p.m. at http://centralpenn.adobeconnect.com/crdccs/

  • For this program, participants are encouraged to utilize a headset with microphone. However, a headset is not required, and participants may join the discussion via the meeting room chat box.
  • A recording of the program will be made available to PaLA members.
