DUSLA Meet and Greet

The DUSLA Meet and Greet was held on Tuesday, October 10. After enjoying pizza, drinks and conversation, Tim Siftar, Reference Librarian for the IST at Hagerty Library, showed a film about the Lubuto Library. The Lubuto Library is a project that creates library collections for orphans or vulnerable children in Africa. By creating libraries the Lubuto Library brings educational opportunities to children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. Tim suggested that DUSLA might want to get involved in collecting books to help with this project. After Tim’s presentation, there was a demonstration of DUSLA’s Wiki and blog. These will be great tools to help facilitate communication between DUSLA officers and members.

DUSLA’s officers were introduced and upcoming events for the 2006-2007 school year were discussed. Events being planned include a possible bowling party, happy hours and a round table discussion. Some possible trips will be to the Library Company, Library of Congress, NPR, Jenkins Law Library and QVC.

More details about upcoming events as they are planned will be posted on the blog, the wiki and by email.
