Welcome.
The faculty of the Simmons College Graduate School of Library & Information Science is pleased to offer a series of public, lunchtime, brown-bag seminars. We invite all students, faculty, and staff from the entire Simmons College community to attend.

The colloquia speakers are full-time and adjunct faculty as well as advanced doctoral students. The topics may be completed research or research in development. It's a great way to practice a speech before a conference or just a way to hear and discuss new ideas.

Talks are scheduled on Tuesdays, 1-2 pm, Room P-207. Dessert and drinks are provided.
