iWelcome Week

The Information School will kick off the school year by hosting our annual iWelcome Week during the first week of autumn quarter. Among the optional events to be included are brown bag lunches with representatives from student groups, open houses, guest speakers from the profession, and various workshops. iWelcome Week is a great opportunity to learn more about the School's wide array of services and resources and opportunities for becoming involved in the iSchool community. Check here for past iWelcome Week activities.
Network Resources Workshop for New Residential MLIS Students
Friday, September 19, 2008
9:00 am-1:00 pm / Mary Gates Hall 430
In order to meet the needs of new students who are not familiar with many of the UW specific network tools and resources that are basics for communication and mobility in our MLIS program, the iSchool offers, free of charge, a Network Resources Workshop (NRW). Students are expected to "hit the ground running," in our courses, so although attendance at NRW is optional, it is essential that students attend the NRW if they are unfamiliar with the tools and resources covered in the workshop. NRW typically takes place a few days before the start of autumn quarter; due to a limited number of seats students are required to RSVP for the workshop.
