The spring meeting of the New Professionals SIG was held on April 15. The business portion of the meeting included a reminder for people to subscribe to the member forum and that we'll be holding our business meeting in June.

The SIG is also looking for a new chair or co-chairs for the 2024/2025 year. Both current co-chairs have finished their terms. 

We welcomed Hannah Rosborough as our guest speaker to share her experience in the LLM program at York Osgoode School of Law.

As a life-long learner, Hannah provided insight into how she arrived at the decision to enroll in the program, and talked about course content, long term implications, career development and her research with AI tools. 

The New Professionals SIG aims to support student members and new professionals as well as to promote law librarianship and CALL/ACBD to new library and information professionals across Canada.

The SIG began as the Student SIG in 2012 and evolved into the New Professionals SIG in May 2016 at the annual conference in Vancouver.
