Registration is now open for “Geoscience Librarianship 101” (GL101) – a free webinar on November 1-2 that introduces new librarians and library/information science students to some of the core areas of geoscience librarianship. GL101 is presented annually by members of the Geoscience Information Society and also provides experienced librarians a refresher overview, offering a chance to network with colleagues and view current issues and concerns of the profession. Princeton University Library will host the webinar.
Participants are encouraged to attend both days but may opt to attend individual sessions. The complete presentation schedule appears below. Register for GL101 here. For questions about the program, please contact coordinators Clara P.
