Gslisadjuncts Books For Fall

Hi guys, This is the first call for you to send me a full citation for books scheduled for your class[es] for the Fall. This is now a federal requirement. If you are not using a textbook please let me know as well. We have already pointed out to the President that, if one supplies the ISBN the bookstore could easily insert the rest of the information -- so far no dice. -- chirp elt Dr. Thomas T.

Gslisadjuncts Tentative Fall 2011 Schedule
by Thomas Surprenant 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi guys, Attached please find the tentative class schedule for the Fall of 2011. Please note that the continuing budget crisis at the University may result in significant changes once the state budget is passed. I have also been told that the fifteen student minimum enrollment for classes is still in effect. Unfortunately, due to prior restrictions in adjunct funds we are not able to offer all of the courses identified in our class rotation document. Please let me know if the courses/days/times scheduled are to your liking. Unfortunately, I was unable to solicit your input before hand. It was not until late last Friday that I was given the go ahead to release the schedule. Flexibility is limited but I will do my best to try to accommodate you. -- chirp elt Dr. Thomas T. Surprenant Professor & Acting Chair/Director Queens College Graduate School of Library & Information Studies
