Registration is now open for the 15th annual “Geoscience Librarianship
101” (GL101) professional development seminar, to be held in Phoenix,
Arizona on Saturday, September 21.  The day-long event is free and open to
all information professionals as well as students in library and
information studies.  Librarians new to the geosciences and those already
in the field who want a refresher are invited to participate.

GL101 will provide an overview of geoscience information; collection
development and reference services in the geosciences; government
publications; maps and geospatial information; and corporate/industry
librarianship.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions
and issues for discussion at the Q&A session following the structured
presentations.

A team of five experienced geoscience librarians will conduct the seminar:
Amanda Bielskas (Columbia University), Stephanie Earls (Washington
Geological Survey), Mary Ellen Vedas (Hess Technical Library), Emily Wild
(Princeton University), and Linda Zellmer (Western Illinois University).

GL101 is jointly sponsored by the Geoscience Information Society and
Arizona State University Library and will take place from 9 AM to 4:30 PM
at the university library.

Advance registration is required and space is limited. You do not need to
be registered for the GSA Annual Meeting to participate in GL101.
