One of my former students asked me to pass on the information on these very interesting, free seminars. San Jose State University's ALA Student Chapter will host two free events featuring nationally prominent figures from the library and information science field.
Additional details follow.
In our multicultural society, libraries and information centers should provide user-friendly pathways to the resources that people need. This seminar will provide a critical and constructive look at how information is represented in library subject catalogs. The talk will cover suggested models for improving services. Coffman has gained national attention for his ideas on revising traditional roles of the library in the electronic age. Both presentations are funded by The Associated Students, San Jose State University.
