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
