NYTSL Annual Reception

March 3, 2007 · 4 Comments

Yesterday, Friday, March 2 was the Informal Reception at the New York Public Library
for Librarians, Information Professionals & Library School Students. For all of you who were there, I was great to see and meet you. Although, for all of you who missed it, I would highly recommand attending when you can. It was a great opportunity to meet up with your fellow students and network with various professional in the field. Personally, I meet a few Pratt students I did not know, see a few I did, and talked to many different professionals. There were not only Pratt students and staff, but also students and staff from Queens College, University of Michigan, CUNY, NYU, and St. Johns. In addition, there were members of ARLIS, VRA, and CAA. Further, there were people from the Morgan Library, Frick, NYPL, etc. So in all, it was a great time to chat, network, and meet people!

    Thanks for posting about this. Can you tell us approximately how many people total were there? Was it mainly Arliss people or were there other areas represented? Was there anyone from the NYPL trainee program? I feel like that is a program that many Pratt students try to connect with on the list serve..

    You are welcome! Well, as far as how many people there were, the room was about full. There were a few ARLISNY, VRA, CAA, and NYST people, as well as people from CUNY, Columbia, Queens, St. Johns, and Pratt of course. Also, there were students from U Michigan. I beleive there was a Pratt student there who is doing the NYPL trainee program. Although, I am not sure. There were many people from so many differernt places, I tried to engage as many as I could. I would bet, since it is a great program!
