Mark your calendars!

SLIS students are encouraged to attend this workshop series. The series was designed collectively by SLIS, the Chi Chapter of Beta Phi Mu (the library and information science honorary society), and the IU student chapter of the Special Libraries Association.

Thinking about your (next) career move?
Where can you find out about job openings?
How do you make the case that you're the ideal candidate for your dream job?
How should you handle those tricky interview questions?
