Gslisadjuncts Student Poster Proposals. Society of American Archivists, 2012
by benjamin.alexander＠qc.cuny.edu 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Students Earning the Certificate in Archives: As circulated in a previous message the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies and the Archives Certificate program were very well represented at this year Conference of the Society of American Archivists in Chicago. In addition to having two students participate on professional panels we also had three students present poster sessions. This was a well noted presence, and, one that allowed for important student exposure and networking. I write at this early date to urge current students and recent alum to consider submitting poster or panel proposal for the 2012 conference, in San Diego. At my request I asked students Donald Corr and Rebecca Weintraub to offer brief reflection on their experiences presenting in Chicago. "I'm so glad I had the opportunity to present a poster at this year's SAA conference. Not only was a great way to network with my fellow students from archives and LIS programs across the country, but it gave me a solid introduction to the professional conference circuit. My experience was so good that I'm proposing a poster for 2012's conference in San Diego!" "As a student poster presenter at the 75th annual SAA conference in Chicago, I was able to see how my research performed at Queens College fits into the bigger picture of other student work as well as the research of working professionals. Most importantly, though, I had the opportunity to network with top students and future colleagues from the University of North Carolina and the University of Texas, among others. The ice cream social and archivists' tweetup showed, too, that archivists definitely know how to party." I am, of course, happy to discuss questions and prospective proposals - either poster or panel. Proposal are due October 3. Information can be found below. http://www2.archivists.org/conference/2012/san-diego/call-for-session-propo… Sincerely, Ben Alexander Assistant Professor, The Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Director, Archival Studies Program, The Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Head of Special Collections and Archives, Queens College Libraries Queens College, The City University of New York Benjamin.Alexander(a)qc.cuny.edu (718) 997-3757

Gslisadjuncts APA PPT & Writing Center Curriculum Space
by Claudia Perry 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Dear Colleagues, Dr. Ping Li and I are happy to report that we had a great group of more than 50 students attend our joint Curriculum Space on Writing and APA Style with Mr. John Troynaski, Director of the Queens College Writing Center. Mr. Troynaski spoke about the terrific services offered at no cost to QC students and especially the importance to all graduates of writing well. He also noted that many GSLIS students have taken advantage of these services, and that all of us can benefit from another set of eyes looking over our writing. Those who were unable to attend can find details about the Writing Center's services and resources at http://writingatqueens.org/the-writing-center/ . Our sincere thanks to Mr. Troynaski for taking the time out from his busy schedule to speak with us! Drs. Li and Perry then presented an interactive presentation based on the attached PowerPoint. Students and attending faculty (thank you Prof. Ed Goldberg!) asked many excellent questions that expanded on the points presented in the PPT slides. The feedback from exiting students was extremely positive and we are so pleased to note that this was the best of the three sessions on Writing and APA Style that we have yet offered. We also would like to note that there were many positive comments on the venue (the Campbell Dome), and we appreciate Ms. Bridget Kavanagh's hard work in arranging for this lovely space, and for Ms. Wendy Lee in approving it. Many thanks to all those who participated. We hope that the attached will prove useful to those unable to attend. Dr. Ping Li and Dr. Claudia Perry Claudia A.
