CLASC's Buddy Program


Welcome to the CLASC Buddy Program.
This program was designed as the starting point of a network among our members of informal information exchange, support and mentoring. The following is a list of topics and members who have volunteered share their knowledge on the subjects. Feel free to contact any of them via email if you have any questions, are looking for advice, or are simply gathering ideas on how to start. If you are interested in being a contact person for any of these topics, or any topics not listed, please contact our Library Practices chairperson Jennifer Cattrano.
