T-Shirt Design Contest! Starts Now!

We have all been aware of the need for a t-shirt that would represent the UK SLIS in all its glory.

This is your chance to prove how creative librarians can be! Beginning now through March 17th, we will be taking ideas....images, slogans, etc....in an attempt to find a great t-shirt idea to represent SLIS students as they trek through the program.

This has been designed to give you almost a month, with Spring Break in the middle....so no lazy excuses! While you're on the beach....toss around a SLIS design idea, but get it submitted as soon as you get back!

To submit your idea: send it to the LISSO e-mail account (lissouk@gmail.com) with the subject line: LISSO Contest. ***NOTE*** Images are accepted, but no attachment will be opened unless "LISSO Contest" is the subject line!

So...what do you win if selected? A free t-shirt or totebag with the new design securely emblazoned with pride!

Get creative folks and remember, this could be your legacy while in the program, as this has been planned with a long-term availability in mind!

Proceeds will help support your friendly neighborhood LISSO. Winning design will be selected by the LISSO officers with final approval by our fearless leader Dr. S.....so nothing too profane please! Oh....and the designs used in this posting are already taken by someone else...plagiarism is BAD and off limits :-)

Get designing!!

Next Meeting

Everyone,
Our next meeting is Monday February 11th at 5:00 PM in the Hub at Young Library. In order to accomodate our officers, the move was necessary. We plan on meeting in the center section near the reference modules. If you plan on attending, e-mail Cheri offlist to get a copy of the constitution so we can hold a vote as to its acceptance.

Thanks!
