Librarianship Program Alumni Association

CSULB’s Librarianship (LMT) Program encourages its students and alumni to keep in professional contact as a community of practice. To facilitate that networking, they are cordially invited to join the CSULB Librarians’ Information Link (LIL) located on the CSULB BeachBoard site.

The goal of the Librarians’ Information Link is to link all Librarianship program students, alumni, and supporters: to come together, stay connected, network, share information, and keep informed about current issues and studies, professional development, and community events. The Curriculum Connection newsletter is also posted there.

If interested in joining this group, please request a free campus account at inspired@csulb.edu with your first name, last name, and email address; note that you want to join the LMT Alumni organization. You will received the needed account information by email. Use the account to receive and post announcements, documents, invitations to attend face-to-face activities, and open discussions.
