Why should I apply to be a GLISA officer?
Being an officer means cultivating highly relevant and transferable skills that will serve you well as a librarian. Don't have library experience yet? Being an officer for your ALA student chapter is a great way to get a meaningful, library-adjacent experience! Not to mention, it looks great on your resume.
How much time commitment is needed for being a GLISA officer?
GLISA officers can expect about 6 to 8 hours of work per month. Meetings are held for 1 hour every two weeks. Event attendance is about 2 hours a month, while event planning and officer duties can range between 2-4 hours a month.
Can I talk with an officer if I have any questions?
Please do! We can be reached through any of the following channels:
