The SLA Toronto Student Group hosted a terrific “Marketing Your Skills” event this evening.

There were a few resources I mentioned that I wanted to make available here.

• Positioning Information Professionals for the Future (SLA Alignment Project)
• Competencies for Information Professionals of the 21st Century: Revised edition, June 2003 (SLA)
• What Color Is Your Parachute? 2009: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard Nelson Bolles
• Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time by Keith Ferrazzi and Tahl Raz
• First Have Something to Say: Writing for the Library Profession, By Walt Crawford
• Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton

SLA Toronto held a "Best of the Web" event on June 21, 2007 where Chapter members were invited to share websites they find most useful.

The Chapter was fortunate to have present:

• Le Dieu Tran, Research Librarian at the Legislative Library;
• Astrid Lange, Library and Research Specialist at the Toronto Star;
• Leanne Hindmarch, Librarian at the Toronto Botanical Gardens;
• Eve Goldin, Senior Manager at the Film Reference Library; and
• Rachel Dupuis, Director of Information and Communications at the Institute of Communications and Advertising.

Sandra Craig, Events Coordinator for the Chapter has written an excellent summary of the websites presented.
