The Youth Services MLIS career pathway is designed to prepare students for positions as children’s and/or young adult (YA) librarians or coordinators in public libraries, youth specialists on a regional or state level, or as information professionals in organizations principally serving youth, as well as to offer library generalists appropriate coursework to prepare for serving a public that includes youth. The Youth Services pathway is one of the most popular pathways in the MLIS program. Join iSchool’s Youth Services faculty advisors for a lively discussion about preparation for a career in this exciting field.

Panelists:

• Dr. Anthony Bernier, Ph.D. Faculty Lead, Youth Services Program Advisory Committee
• Dr. Joni Richards Bodart, Ph.D.
• Beth Wrenn-Estes, MLS

The second half of the webinar will be for advisee Q and A. If you cannot attend the workshop you may email questions for the panelists no later than one day in advance of the program: ischool@sjsu.edu.

The workshop will be recorded and added to the iSchool Student Advising and Outreach playlist on our iSchool YouTube channel. This session will use auto-generated text transcriptions.
