NEW ARRIVALS

I went to the mailbox this Saturday morning and was excited to see the new arrivals. UWM has given me free subscriptions to library journals. Let me say it again, for FREE. I will be receiving the School Library Journal and Library Journal for approximately 12-20 months. As soon as I arrived home, I highlighted all the programs that I would like to attend while at the ALA conference.

• Managing Libraries: I'm a Leader, I'm a Follower: Middle Management Theory and Practice
• FYE: Connecting First-Year College Students with the Library
• Bringing the Immersion Program Back Home
• Reinvent Your Professional Identity: How To Maximize Job Opportunities During a Down-Turned Economy
• Retaining Distance Students from Diverse Groups in Higher Education: How Can Libraries Help?
• Practical Tips on Dealing with the Most Challenging Library Patrons
• What Does Gaming Have To Do With Books, Anyway? Justifications for Games in Libraries
• When Is Nice Too Nice?
• Only for Passionate Librarians: Working in Rural and Small Libraries

And, it has a great article titled, "MLS: Hire Grounds?" that I read. So, I look forward to reading these journals as they come....hoping time will permit it.
