The Special Libraries Association (SLA) UBC Student Chapter is pleased to invite all SLAIS students, staff, faculty and recent graduates to a panel discussion on the topic of the convergence of information professionals’ roles in both libraries and archives.
- Jana Bühlmann is a senior project archivist at Libraries and Archives Canada (LAC), a federal institution that acquires, preserves and makes Canada’s documentary heritage accessible.
- Taryn Day is the Sample Librarian and Archivist for lululemon athletica, an international athletic apparel company founded in Vancouver.
- Bronwyn Guiton is a Research Librarian at Lawson Lundell LLP, a 3-person
law firm library in downtown Vancouver, and President-Elect of the SLA Western Canada Chapter. - Carolyn Soltau is a Research Librarian with The Province and Vancouver Sun, a contract Reference Librarian at Douglas College and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Vancouver Director of the SLA Western Canada Chapter.
- Kristy Waller is a Media Archivist at the Western Front, an artist-run
centre, and a part-time auxiliary archivist at the City of Vancouver Archives.
This is a great opportunity to find out more about special libraries and archives, ask general questions about the panelists’ roles within their organizations, and discuss the differences between their roles as librarians and/or archivists. Many of the panelists are former SLAIS grads and/or are actively involved with the SLA Western Canada Chapter.
Lunch and refreshments will be served. Please register at the link below before 3pm, Monday, January 18th if you would like to participate in the lunch (vegetarian and vegan options available) and indicate any dietary specifications.
