Spring 2022 Library & Information Science Industry Speaker Series
Join the DLIS community on Zoom to hear from a spectrum of MLS/MLIS degreed professionals in a variety of roles, working across industries. Ask your career questions, discuss, engage, and network in real time each month.
More information and the rsvp link can be found on the series page: https://soic.iupui.edu/events/lis-speaker-series/
What?
Industry speakers = bringing information science professionals to you!
The series intent is to help DLIS students build perspective on how to develop a career in library and information science by hearing from working professionals across sectors and at a variety of career stages. Gain insight on career opportunities and potential applications of the MLIS by hearing from speakers about their path to librarianship/information science, work history, professional advancement, and general advice for those entering the job market.
Who?
DLIS students as well as undergrad/grad SoIC & others, alumni, and professionals in the broader LIS community or those interested in librarianship and information professions.
When?
Last Wednesday of the month during the fall and spring semesters, 7 pm EST
Due to the end of the semester, there is no December or May speaker.
Why?
It can be tough to know about the daily work of specific roles, or gauge areas of interest when you are earning your degree. Gain a better sense of what you can work toward and how you might approach the job market. In-person interaction can be challenging in a fully-online asynchronous program. This series is an opportunity to interact with professionals in real time, ask questions, and interact with fellow students and faculty.

There’s still space to enroll in LIS S604 Section 35878 Open Education Resources
Open Educational Resources (OER) are Creative Commons licensed works that are free to access, distribute, and revise. In this 3-week course, we will review the what, why, and “how” of OER. Lessons will cover the need for OER materials in both academic and public library contexts, copyright and Creative Commons, OER publishing, and current OER trends. We will review popular OER repositories and work hands-on with open materials to learn and demonstrate the benefits of open resources. Please join us if you are interested in OER, scholarly communications or library publishing!
Are you looking for a short Spring course? How about a 3-week workshop (1 credit) on publishing and communicating in libraries?
We are going to look at some ideas in librarianship and how they relate to aspects of editing and publishing. Our lessons will cover Editing and scholarly communication; Abstracting/indexing and access; Citation as access and scholarly communication; Reviews, scholarly communication, and collection development; Online presence and authority; and Publishers, authority, and access. Each week we will have two lessons, required readings, and assignments that help you put into practice the ideas discussed in the lessons and readings.
