Welcome to the 2012 Winter issue of The Courier! Thank you to everyone who contributed articles for this issue.
In addition to the recurring columns, this issue also introduces SLA Toronto’s 2012 Executive Board, and Laura Warner outlines her goals for the year in the President’s Letter. Peter de Jager has contributed an article outlining his top six “don’ts” that contribute to successful presentations. SLA Toronto’s very own Programming Director, Katya Pereyaslavska, and her partner in crime, Stephen Spong, detail the origins of the Toronto Desk Set—a grass-roots organization of information professionals with an alternative view on networking. Plus, SLA-Toronto/T-SLIS Blue Winter Article Club Night attendee, Eric Smith, has provided a review of the event and a summary of the engaging discussions that developed throughout the night.
Conference season is fast approaching and we’ve got the evidence! This issue contains two conference announcements: the first is the Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL) 2012 Conference taking place in Toronto the second week of May, and the second is the 2012 Special Libraries Association Annual Conference taking place in Chicago the third week of July.
We hope you enjoy this issue and The Courier’s new look. Submissions are always welcome. Please send your comments, ideas, or suggestions to:
