Next Week's ALA Virtual Conference

The 2011 ALA Annual Virtual Conference takes place July 13-14, with various sessions available throughout the day on both days.  The last session on July 13, "Perceptions of New Professionals", might be of interest to NMRT members:

From http://www.alaannual.org/virtual/schedule.php:
This session explores various scenarios to help new professionals navigating the first stages of their career. Answers to the following, and other questions, will be discussed: How other new professionals found jobs? How other librarians work with their library associations? Presented by very new librarians with jobs at libraries\info centers, seasoned\veteran librarians, and successful professionals working in other fields.
Speakers: Sue Hutley, Executive Director of the Australian Library and Information Association; Jessica Hernandez, Librarian, FDA Biosciences Library at U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Tiffany Mair, Program Assistant, Capitol Impact. LLC; Nathan T. Wright, Founder of Lava Row

Registration costs $69 to attend both days of the conference.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to pay a smaller amount to attend a single session, but since several interesting programs are on the lineup, it would still be a good deal.  Visit http://www.alaannual.org/virtual/register.php to register.
