SLAISmatters Newsletter Now Available

The School of Library, Archival and Information Studies at The University of British Columbia has launched the inaugural edition of its SLAISmatters newsletter, available as PDF edition at http://www.slais.ubc.ca/NEWS/current-news.htm.

The newsletter will be published twice a year – both print and electronically every summer, and electronically only every winter. Each issue will provide news and updates about our faculty, students, alumni and programs.

This first issue features a farewell from outgoing director Professor Edie Rasmussen, and photos and articles about the outstanding new home for SLAIS which will also serve as a significant legacy of her leadership. There are profiles of three of our faculty members, and a short introduction to the faculty who are joining SLAIS this academic year.

"We’re quite proud of our newsletter, and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it," said SLAIS Interim Director Terry Eastwood.

Please feel free to share the electronic version, and if you would like a print version mailed to you, or to subscribe to either the print or electronic version, send a request to slais@interchange.ubc.ca.
