Gslisadjuncts Asking Students To Get Released From Regularly Scheduled Classes Outside Of Curriculum Space
by Thomas Surprenant 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi guys, Please note that it is up to the faculty member, *not students*, to ask permission from other faculty to allow students to miss a part, or more, of their class because of a presentation outside of our Curriculum Space. Those contacted need to know at least a week in advance and should be informed, in detail, of the reason[s] for the request. A request such as this imposes an extreme burden on faculty and should be used sparingly. Finally, please don't forget that permission is not automatic; it is up to each faculty member to decide to agree or not. -- chirp elt Dr. Thomas T. Surprenant Professor & Acting Chair/Director Queens College Graduate School of Library & Information Studies

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Meegan, Lawrence <lmeegan(a)theoceancountylibrary.org> Date: Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 1:28 PM Subject: Ocean County Library press release To: thomas.surprenant(a)qc.cuny.edu OCEAN COUNTY LIBRARYConnecting People … Building Community 101 Washington St., Toms River, NJ 08753-7625 Telephone: 732-349-6200 www.theoceancountylibrary.org Susan Quinn, Director March 23, 2011 [image: ocllogo] Hello, Ocean County Library will host ALA President-elect Molly Raphael and three other ALA officials at a fund raiser for the Spectrum Scholarship Sunday April 3 at 2:30 p.m. There is a $30 *suggested* donation. I am sending you a copy of the press release that contains details about her program and the scholarship program. This will be an excellent time to learn from a national figure the issues confronting American libraries and the future course ALA will follow to remain relevant to our communities. The scholarship has benefited nearly 700 students and has provided opportunities to improve the diversity and inclusiveness of libraries. Perhaps some of your students have been recipients of an award. We think this will be a great opportunity to meet Molly and hope you, your staff and students can attend. If you have questions about the program or would like to make a reservation please contact Harry Applegate (732) 349-6200, ext. 5407. Thank you.
