Progressive Librarians Guild

Welcome to the GSLIS chapter of the Progressive Librarians Guild!

The purpose of PLG is to foster discussion and action related to librarianship and social responsibility. We believe that the vital role of the library in a democratic society requires a politically and socially engaged profession.

Happy Summer!

PLG will be taking it easy for the summer term. Fall term commences on August 25. In the meantime, think about running for PLG offices. During the 2008-2009 academic year, the following positions will be open: president, vice president, treasurer, events coordinator, and information technology coordinator. All enrolled GSLIS students are eligible to run. Watch this page for updates.
