Why do we have a BCLA/CLA Student Chapter at UBC?

Our goals are to:

• raise awareness of and promote CLA and BCLA within SLAIS
• provide students with an opportunity for participation in CLA and BCLA
• contribute to the education of students through seminars, guest speakers, and other activities which reflect the diversity of opportunities available in librarianship in British Columbia and Canada, and allow for the exchange of ideas 
• provide opportunities for networking with other students and professionals
• act as a liaison between the two organizations and the students of SLAIS
• offer opportunities for professional development
• work in cooperation with other SLAIS groups to provide better programs and services for students

Who can join?

Any SLAIS student can join the BCLA/CLA Student Chapter; we encourage you to join BCLA and CLA as well.
Membership in CLA is now only $25 for students, and includes membership in one interest group. BCLA offers a complimentary one year student membership. More information can be found at: CLA and BCLA.
