students focusing on "non-traditional" careers. I was on a panel of
science PhD alumni working in various "non-traditional" settings.

"non-traditional" was anything that wasn't the usual post-doc path to
a faculty appointment in another major research university.

in science librarianship and chemical information.
we present symposia on careers in chemical information. To make
these symposia as broad and inclusive as possible, we have speakers

careers. These symposia are aimed at students and at people in
mid-career who may be considering a career change.

Subject: Library shelving advice needed
From: Stephanie Bianchi
has come up as to whether or not we need "canopies" on the shelves. Our
current steel shelving has a canopy over each top shelf, which I always
assumed was needed for structural (and possibly aesthetic)
reasons. Possibly also keeps dust off the books? Possibly offers the
books some protection against total destruction if the sprinklers come on
(God forbid)? Is there any good reason to have or not to have
canopies? Any body have any experience with this question?
