For those of you who might be interested in learning about resources in the Physical Sciences, please consider the following CE course offered by PAM at SLA in Nashville, June 5th, 1-5 pm. This year, we will be concentrating on Mathematics and Computer Science, covering these subjects in detail, but will also include some General Science reference. The Early Bird registration ends May1st, so hurry as we're sure you won't want to miss this opportunity!

Description: This course is designed to enhance the skills of students and librarians new to science librarianship, especially Mathematics and Computer Science. Primary focus will be on these two disciplines and selected interdisciplinary areas related to these. The half-day course will be taught by three specialist librarians, (Carol Hutchins, John Dupuis, and Travis Warwick) all experienced in the field of science librarianship. The course will review important print and electronic resources in these fields, as well as tactics on how to answer information requests using such resources. Participants will be able to engage in lively discussions and have the opportunity for some hands-on experiences. A brief introduction to the Division's Mentorship Program will also be included.
