Why get involved?
As a new student organization at the iSchool, we encourage students who are interested in pursuing academic librarianship to join CAPAL. As future academic librarians, what better place to learn about and explore the profession than within the university itself? Over the course of the academic year, the UT CAPAL Student Chapter will host lectures, a "Lunch with a Librarian" series, and private library tours to address issues of library advocacy and ethics, digital technologies and librarianship, accessibility, and education in order to provide students with the knowledge to succeed in academic librarianship.
In addition to student initiatives at the University of Toronto, membership in CAPAL also gives students access to resources from our parent organization itself. CAPAL's benefits for members page outlines some of the advantages of joining. As a member of CAPAL, you will have access to CAPAL resources and CAPAL's peer-reviewed scholarly journal, are able to participate in CAPAL's annual conference, where academic librarians from across the country meet to share ideas, and have access to scholarship and publications pertinent to academic librarianship.
Join CAPAL today and connect with academic librarians across the country!
