Early bird registration is open until October 20, 2011 for the Augustana Information Literacy in Academic Libraries Workshop. The event will be held at the University of Alberta- Augustana Campus in Camrose, AB on Thursday, November 17, 2011. I attended last year and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of speakers and activities. This year’s workshop is [...] [Posting now closed] If you’re a recent (2010 or 2011) grad of an accredited Canadian library school program I would strongly urge you to apply to the Academic Library Internship Program at the University of Alberta Libraries.

The guide features resources and information on Open Access (OA) journal literature, copyright-friendly media (Open Culture), Open Education teaching resources, and Open Source Software.

The contest is open to current students and recent graduates of library programs in Canada. I’d highly recommend that anyone who qualifies submit something. * If you’re looking for inspiration, last year I [...] Unfortunately, this video appears to have been removed. I was poking around the University of Western Ontario’s Faculty of Information and Media Studies’ Web site today when I stumbled upon this: A 1970 Orientation Video for the faculty’s library program (then delivered by what was known as the School of Library and Information Science, or SLIS).
