I'm sorry to be this way, but this just codifies what we're doing now and continues competition among us for the same dates. We also have an unfortunate history of not supporting each other's extracurricular activities, whether through attendance, additional promotion, scheduling conflicts, or whatever. I think at least one of these each semester should be devoted exclusively to a national speaker, with required attendance, from among whatever amalgamation of interests LIS now encompasses, with EVERYBODY supporting it; if we continue this way, we will remain fractured with a fair number of students disengaged during CS time.

Thanks to all of you for your sympathy cards and expressions of concern over my losing Dorothy on December 17. Every card, call and note is greatly appreciated. I am now working my way slowly through 709 papers with the other two classes to follow. Anyone who actually knew Dorothy is welcome to submit an anecdote or memory for reading at the memorial program on Jan. 26 or for posting on a website as yet undetermined. Thanks again, Mary K.

Gslisadjuncts Dorothy Broderick Obituary/Tribute on YALSA website
by Roberta Brody 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Exerpts from a tribute written by the President of YALSA, Sarah Flowers: "Dorothy’s greatest contribution to YA librarianship, however, is the mentoring and personal guidance she gave to hundreds of librarians throughout her career, as a librarian in the field, a professor at five major library schools, an author, and through her work as editor of VOYA (co-founded with her partner, Mary K. Chelton, in their home in 1978). "YALSA and YA librarianship wouldn’t be what it is today without Dorothy. The YALSA Board of Directors offered a resolution in her honor in 2007, calling her 'the glue that that bound many of us together in earlier YALSA years,' and noting her 'wicked wit,' which belied a 'a heart of gold, a brilliant mind, a love of librarianship, [and] a strong sense of right and wrong.' " Full text may be found at: http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2011/12/19/in-memoriam-dororthy-broderick/ There is also a an obit at the VOYA website. bobby brody Roberta Brody Professor, GSLIS bobbybrody(a)aol.com (home) Roberta.Brody(a)QC.cuny.edu (work)
