SLA@Pratt is the Pratt School of Information and Library Science Student Chapter of the Special Libraries Association, the career fair is aimed at students in the New York metropolitan area on Library and Information Science Courses, and will enable them to meet with a variety of industry recruiters and listen to a variety of scheduled speakers from the publishing industry.

SLA@Pratt will be the first annual SLA career fair, this will provide opportunity for a question and answer session with established figures within the publishing industry, and allow professionals to share their experiences with students.

Based on experience of working with the editors of 200 journals these author workshops provide insight to help new or potential authors and give them the best possible chance of publication helping authors progress successfully through the various stages from pre-submission of the manuscript, to revision and, finally, publication.

James Comments “The career fair is a great opportunity for students to find out more about the publishing world. Emerald is dedicated to providing a network of support for these students and to helping provide them with the necessary knowledge to take with them in to the working world.”
