Gslisadjuncts Chelton is home
by Mary K Chelton 22 May '12

22 May '12

Dear Students: Well, I am home, after a day in the ER (my third this semester!!) to control atrial fibrillation again with new meds, orders to rest, and a follow up appointment with the cardiologist. Having lived with Dorothy's heart trouble for 15 years, needless to say, I am less than enthusiastic over developing it myself, but not surprised given my family history. I did like my nurse a lot this time--a former Navy corpsman with lots of tattoos and a great sense of humor. I now have a freezer full of goodies for the end of semester class parties which I will try to eat slowly over the next couple weeks, and hopefully, will see those of you graduating on the 31st, at which time I will return all hard copy papers I received. If you don't send hard copy as requested, you'll get graded but nothing back. Email attached copies are for archiving purposes only at this point, although I may change this next year. This is doubly annoying because of vacation plans and I wanted to brag about Nugget getting 2 points at the LI dog shows over the weekend. Thanks to Esta Goldin and Donna Miller and family for cheering him on. Send all hard copies of final papers to me asap to 35 Mercury Avenue, East Patchogue, NY 11772. If you do it right away, you can use first class or priority and save money. Thanks, Mary K. Chelton

Participants will learn about new trends and features in social reading and cataloging, social library catalogs and integrated library systems, and crowdsourcing platforms. The catalog builds a social network, and the social network in turn builds the catalog. We love the read/write internet. It's time to create the read/write library, where everyone has a voice in the collections, catalog, programming, and mission. This model is extensible to more conventional libraries through a multitude of tools and approaches that are already widely used. > > For registration and additional information, visit the course page. > > Follow LITA on > Facebook and Twitter! > LITA American Library Association 50 East Huron Street Chicago, IL 60611 > Ph: (800) 545-2433 x4269 | Fax: (312) 280-3257 | lita(a)ala.org > > Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) members are information technology professionals dedicated to educating, serving, and reaching out to the entire library and information community.

Dear Colleagues and students: I seem to have managed to confuse everyone. I did not mean that professors should keep 2 copies of final papers or exams, only 1, an that one may be in electronic format. Ideally, the retained copy would be a graded copy. The point is to have retrospective access to original student work back for 2 years. Dr. Marcum is working on space and security requirements. Mary K. Chelton
