MLIS Student to Represent bet365亚洲官网 at American Library AssociationConference
VALDOSTA -- Chelsea Kovalevskiy was one of 40 students from
across the United States recently selected to participate in the
American Library Association’s (ALA) Student to Staff
程序.
The Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) 程序
student will travel to Anaheim, Calif., June 21-26 to assist
association staff during their 2012 annual conference. 作为交换
for working four hours a day, Kovalevskiy will receive free
conference registration, housing, and a per diem for meal expenses.
During her free time, she will be able to attend programs and
participate in conference activities.
Kovalevskiy, who lives in LaFayette and works as the youth
education coordinator for the LaFayette-Walker Public Library, said
she looks forward to working behind the scenes of such a major
conference, building relationships with the people who run the ALA,
and learning new things.
“This annual conference is something that would be beneficial to
any librarian in any system,” said the 26-year-old daughter of
Robin Doherty and Willie Weaver, both of LaFayette. “与资金
being what it is and budget cuts throughout the state and across
the country, there is no way my library could ever afford to send
someone to California. This is something that will benefit me as a
professional and a student, and it will benefit my library as well
as all the libraries in Walker and Dade counties.”
To be considered for the ALA’s Student to Staff 程序,
Kovalevskiy had to write an essay explaining why she believed she
was the best candidate for the position. She was selected in early
February and asked to complete a brief questionnaire to help match
her with an appropriate ALA staff member.
“I am hoping to be assigned to the young adults and children
division,” she said. “That way I will be able to work with groups
that relate to what I do now.”
As the youth education coordinator for the LaFayette-Walker Public
Library, the wife of Nikita Kovalevskiy -- the two met in the Peace
Corps, after she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history from
Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif. -- explained that she is
in charge of the children, teen, and juvenile collections and
编程.
Kovalevskiy has been a member of the ALA since December of 2009.
She has been a member of the bet365亚洲官网 chapter of the association since
2011年1月. She plans to graduate from bet365亚洲官网 with a Master of
Library and Information Science degree in December of 2012.
成立于10月. 6, 1876, during the Centennial Exposition in
