Welcome to SCARLA
The Student College, Academic, and Research Libraries Association (SCARLA) organizes speakers, lecture series, events, trips and workshops to promote our understanding of academic librarianship. We aim to foster community among the students, faculty and librarians at SC&I and the Rutgers Library System and participate in conferences and activities sponsored by professional organizations at both the state and national level.
We are also affiliated with the NJAL and the ACRL New Jersey Chapter.
We want to hear from you! Contact us anytime with questions, event suggestions, and more!

Academic Librarian Hiring Process
This event will be an opportunity for current MI students interested in academic librarianship to learn more about the hiring process in academic libraries! How many interviews are there? What is the “job talk” and how do you prepare for it? What is the expected timeline for hiring in academia? Panelists will answer these questions and more, as they relay their experiences with hiring at their institutions. The floor will open up for student questions at the end of the event. Meeting...
