Columbia Launches New Masters Degree Program in Fall ..............4

ast spring, as I was preparing for my term as President of the New York Chapter of SLA, I received some valuable advice from Pam Rollo. She suggested that I draw up a document listing my goals for the Chapter for the coming year. This document would help keep me focused on my main objectives, and would provide me with something I could use at the end of my term to measure my success. So I drew up a document which identified my three primary goals for the year:

Kevin Manion, our President-Elect, and Tesse Santoro & Peggy Decker, our

Kae Wells, our Arrangements Chair, greeted all of our guests at events with a bright smile and made sure that everyone had colorful, legible nametags, making it easier for members to network. Kathleen Pritz, our Membership Chair, welcomed new members, answered questions from existing members, and invited lapsed members to return to the Chapter. Cathy Ciaccio & Marlene Augustin-Lambert, our Director & Chair of Professional Development, arranged a number of presentations, including a live, lunchtime seminar led by a practicing special librarian. Louise Klusek, Chair of our Business & Finance Group, has organized an event for this spring. Maggie Smith, our Downtown Networking Chair, coordinated two popular luncheons for our members. And we started a series of quarterly Midtown Happy Hours that were purely social events. Miguel Figueroa, our Library School Liaison, worked with local library schools sharing information about the Chapter and our special offerings for students.

From research to analysis to leadership

In addition, we thank our member companies who provided us with meeting space this year: Credit Suisse, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Skadden Arps, Open Society Institute/Soros Foundations, McGraw-Hill, Time, Inc. and Young & Rubicam Brands. And none of our programs and events would be possible without the continuing support of our generous sponsors: Elsevier, Factiva, Thomson Dialog, Lexis-Nexis, The Wall Street Journal Online, 10K Wizard, CSA Illumina, Copyright Clearance Center and InfoCurrent.

n discussions with a number of colleagues in recent months, I have come to the conclusion that many of us have been going through some soul searching lately. An evolution that began in special libraries decades ago, moving us from research and aggregation to the production of a more analytical product, has accelerated in the last years and has prompted us to continue to look at ourselves, our place in our organizations and the work we do.

I

Perhaps the thing I am most proud of is the fact that we tried new and different things this year. Different program and event formats, different topics, different types of speakers. And as a result, we met a lot of different members at these events. This year, rather than measure the success of our events based on the total number of members who attended, I’d prefer to measure their success based on the number of different members who attended. I hope we offered a wider range of programs and events this year so that more of our 1000+ members could find something of interest to them.

One could say we are going through “growing pains” but that would imply that we expect to be all “grown up” one day. If there is one thing we can all speak to in this profession, is that change is an almost daily part of our work lives. What is before us is the continuation of a shift that has brought us from aggregation to synthesis, to presenting findings directly to clients or a larger audience and now to analysis. Today, our clients are for more likely to say “yeah but tell me what it means” or “tell me what I need to know for this meeting” than “can you get me some articles on…”

I owe so much to all of the Board & Advisory Council members who worked so hard this year. But perhaps I owe the most to Kevin Manion for his constant support and encouragement. I know the Chapter will be in confident, capable hands when Kevin assumes the Presidency in June 2006.

It makes perfect sense, to me anyway, that our expanding research role should mirror what is for many of us a growing role as leaders in our organizations. Much has been written about leadership and about being leaders in our profession in past years. But I truly believe that we have only begun to scratch the surface — there is so much as yet undiscovered that we can bring to our organizations. Leaders exist throughout company hierarchies and there are many different paths that identify professionals as leaders.

ChapterNews

Leadership takes courage and dedication and we are uniquely positioned to foster and lead cultures of information and knowledge in the workplace. We believe in sharing information, understanding our business and our clients and doing our best to ensure that decisions are based on solid research and analysis. I am heartened to see many recent graduates stepping up to take a leadership role in their organizations but also within our professional association. Those of us already in leadership positions should ensure that we do what we can to encourage them and help them grow into the future leaders and advocates of our profession.

Columbia University Launches New Master’s Degree Program in Information and Archive Management in Fall By George Calderaro

n fall 2006, Columbia University’s School of Continuing Education will launch a new Master of Science in Information and Archive Management. The Information and Archive Management program is designed to teach the systematic and technical skills necessary to fulfill the responsibilities demanded by business, government, and nonprofit organizations in what is now appropriately termed the “international information economy.”

I

Today, organizations face the enormous challenge of how to make more effective use of the information they create, gather, organize, and maintain. Information professionals are key decision makers who work with the principal business, program, and policy professionals in organizations as well as with IT experts. Many individuals performing these functions today find that while their responsibilities are great, they do not have the systematic, formal training and up-to-date technological skills they need. Columbia’s Master of Science in Information and Archive Management trains students in the practical, real-world demands of solving complex problems in organizing information. To advance the core mission of any organization, information professionals must have an increasingly complex understanding of the information over which they preside. They must be able to create and manage an information archive, analyze a data set and the needs of its users, and evaluate database design. They need to have a practical understanding of the laws governing the use of information, and they must consider thoughtfully the social and policy questions that involve the lawful handling and use of information. They need to master the wide range of government and business information resources produced by city, state, and national governments, as well as by international governmental organizations and by commercial vendors. They must be able to work with an organization’s IT department to design and implement systems to house and retrieve information, and they must be able to work with commercial (Article continues on page 5)

vendors to design information products that serve an organization’s specific needs. The curriculum includes core courses in topics ranging from information technology and archives management to government information resources and legal issues for information professionals. Elective courses include database design, managing non-print materials, and oral history archives. The program is designed for mid-career professionals who already work in information environments and want to systemize and enhance their knowledge and skills. The program is also appropriate for recent college graduates or individuals changing careers who want to become information professionals in business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

Rachel Watstein Receives 2006 SLA NY Chapter Student Scholarship

ranging in its scope but still true to its audience — an often featuring over 20 selections it is no small feat as a pro-bono service. Delivered to the faculty and staff at Palmer, the response has motivated Watstein to continue the service and its reputation has earned interest from many librarians and professional networks outside Palmer, including the New York Library Association.

By Miguel A. Figueroa

Since joining SLA, she has been a frequent attendee at SLA virtual learning seminars and chapter meetings. Manhattan campus director Flynn recalls, “Rachel shared with me the lecture notes from the SLA virtual Seminars in competitive intelligence and I have shown these to many of Palmer’s current and prospective students who are interested in going into the field of corporate librarianship. With this in mind, Palmer will be offering a course in competitive intelligence in the Fall of 2006.” Says Watstein, “I have gotten so much out of my attendance at SLA meetings as well as other association meetings and I believe the type of education and connection to people in the field that one gets by being a member of an association should be a vital part of every library school student's education.”

t was with great pleasure this year that the New York Chapter of SLA awarded it’s annual student scholarship to Rachel Watstein from the Palmer School of Library and Information Science at Long Island University.

I

Rachel built over twenty years experience in the corporate world, including extensive experience in research and competitive intelligence; business and strategic plans; negotiating and contracting for licenses; project management; and more, before turning to librarianship. Rachel enrolled at the Palmer School of Information and Library Science in July of 2005. Of her time in library school, Rachel says, “I have always been involved in gathering and disbursing knowledge and information throughout my career, but have never had the formal training in such things knowledge organization and management, information retrieval systems or competitive intelligence. My education at Palmer has helped me understand how to connect these important issues to the corporate environment.”

Rachel had originally intended to use the Chapter Scholarship to help her attend the SLA Annual Conference in Baltimore. Having recently been selected as the recipient of the Business and Finance Division’s Student Stipend Award to attend the annual conference, she will instead use the Chapter Scholarship to help defray the cost of tuition and free her to continue her efforts to reach out to the profession and engage with SLA.

Being very proactive, Rachel takes every opportunity to offer her services to those she encounters. In her first semesters at Palmer, she approached Alice Flynn, Manhattan campus program director, with marketing ideas that might help the program grow and become more prominent. Impressed by the plans, Flynn offered Watstein a graduate assistantship at the Manhattan campus. “I hired her because even in casual correspondence prior to her full-time enrollment, she impressed me with her observations, her creative thinking, her helpfulness, and her wit. She has developed a wealth of online resources for our students such as a national hyperlinked library association list, a hyperlinked listing of librarian job web sites and a listing of specialized librarian scholarships. She has one helpful, creative suggestion after another, always presented in such a cheerful and selfless way.”

YOUR SOURCE FOR SKILLED INFORMATION NAVIGATORS • The premier source for high-caliber library & information management professionals • Executive search & direct hire placements nationwide • Temporary & temp-to-hire assignments • Competitive candidate benefits & training programs

Outside of her graduate assistantship, she has also proven a unique contributor to the profession. “At Palmer, I initiated a weekly compilation email that goes out to all of our students, faculty and alumni. This weekly email contains linked stories which appeared during the previous week in the news, listservs, newsletters, blogs, etc. on issues relating to libraries, technology, searching, the internet and education as well as anything else I feel would enlighten my audience.” This resource is an impressive mix — wide ChapterNews

New Graduates, New Jobs: SLA@Pratt Hosts a Panel Discussion Subscription Services

The Topic Tula Giannini, the Dean of Library and Information

Science (SILS) at Pratt Institute, approached our student group about hosting an event during a two week SILS Festival. We decided to have a panel discussion with recent Pratt SILS graduates about finding a job.

Our vision is to become the clear choice for managing your subscriptions.

The Twist Okay, maybe the topic sounds same old, same old, but our panel had a twist: we focused on emerging opportunities in the library and information science profession. All of the panelists were either in newly created positions, or in positions not previously held by someone with a Master’s in Library and Information Science. The panelists are all success stories, and they all happen to be members of SLA. Coincidence? I think not.

Schuman Publishers, Inc. and the New York SLA Chapter Library School Liaison. The panelists were: ▲ Jennifer Brown, Program Coordinator for Marketing and Assessment at Columbia University

The Job Hunt Starts Now

▲ Jeffrey Dreiblatt, Search Manager, Knowledge Technology Team at PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP

Start looking at jobs as soon as you enter school, even if you don’t want a job right now. Do internships or volunteer work to get experience. Tailor both your cover letter and your resume for each job. The job hunt doesn’t end when you get that job! Continuously update your resume, and never stop looking at job postings. Even if you don’t want a new job, watch job postings to stay current with the skills the industry requires.

▲ Heather Edwards, Taxonomy Research Analyst at Inform Technologies ▲ Michael Hassett, Archivist at Polshek Partnership Architects ▲ Ellen Nasto, Associate Librarian at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Jennifer Brown, Jeffrey Dreiblatt, Heather Edwards, and Ellen Nasto are all in positions that did not even exist as recently as two years ago. Michael Hassett is the first archivist at Polshek Partnership Architects to have the MLS degree. Only one of the panel participants has a title that includes the word librarian, yet most of them entered the library and information science program expecting to work in...um...well...a library. Miguel prepared stimulating questions and the panelists’ answers and ensuing discussion was informative. Here are a few of the lessons I took from the discussion: ChapterNews

Keep Your Options Open Cast a wide net and consider positions that you may not have originally considered. Subscribe to listservs. Constantly surf organization’s web sites. Each of the panelists discovered their current job from a different source, so use your search skills to explore all possible employment opportunities. Above all, be persistent.

Network, Network, Network Miguel posed the question, “Who are the most important people a library school student in New York should know? We want names!” Miguel’s question and the panelists’ answers emphasized the importance of networking and making connections not only with potential employers, but with fellow students and professors as well. Go to those SLA–NY events! The Future is Bright I think job opportunities for recent graduates are one of the leading indicators of the future of our profession. The panelists that participated in New Graduates, New Jobs show the spectrum of job opportunities for library and information science professionals is expanding. They responded to market needs by being flexible during the job search process. Their enthusiasm and positive outlook for the library and information science profession is contagious. They promote the value of our profession just by being themselves. If these recent graduates represent the future of SLA, then the future is bright. Editor’s Note: Kevin Manion, President-Elect of the

SLA New York Chapter, attended the event and commented that he continues to be amazed at the diversity of people in our profession. “It is fascinating to hear about the different types of work we all do under the umbrella of the information profession. I think there is real strength in that diversity. A panel discussion like this of recent graduates would make a very interesting Chapter program. We'll plan something for the fall. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and was impressed by the work being done by Lisa and the Pratt Student Group. I am heartened to know that new graduates such as these are joining the profession.”
