NJLA College and University Section/ACRL-NJ President Leslin Charles, Instructional Design Librarian at Rutgers, is looking forward to another great NJLA Conference in Atlantic City. Leslin is usually a presenter at the Conference, but this year she will be focused on some of the duties associated with being CUS President, such as presenting the Distinguished Service Award during the Honors and Awards ceremony and serving as the host of the CUS Luncheon. So why not join in the fun?
Leslin is pleased to announce that
ACRL President Cheryl Middleton, University Librarian for Research & Scholarly Communication at Oregon State University Libraries, is this year’s speaker at the
CUS Luncheon. The opportunity to have an ACRL officer speak at the Conference only happens every five years or so and it provides a great way for NJ academic librarians to learn more about our national association and its initiatives and for national leadership to learn about members’ interest at the chapter level.
This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss, so be sure to register for the lunch when you complete your registration form!
As a past presenter, Leslin knows firsthand how much time and effort goes into the presentations at the conference and she is looking forward to attending as many sessions as possible. Leslin is especially excited about attending the revamped Research Showcase, sponsored by the NJLA/CUS-ACRL-NJ Research Committee, which will highlight and promote research by NJ librarians. We hope you are also excited to celebrate and support the outstanding work of your colleagues.
Attending the NJLA Conference presents an opportunity for all librarians in the state to come together and network, speak freely, exchange ideas, and learn more about the terrific programs that are happening in all types of libraries. The Conference dates, May 30-June 1, work well for many academic librarians, and Leslin hopes that many of her academic colleagues will be joining her in Atlantic City for the 2018 NJLA Conference!
