by Mary K Chelton 15 May '12

15 May '12

I am happy to motivate present and future CUNY Queens students and graduates. To that end, one of my college library administrators pointed out that I was listed in the recent GSLIS Gazette . However, please note the following correction: I write and have been writing a monthly Internet review column for the Queens Gazette since 2010 calledInternet In Bloom For The Layperson . Furthermore, I have been writing columns on the following topics, such as the Internet, computers and fitness since 1999 in the following New York publications: The Queens Courier , the Queens Tribune , the Yonkers City Report and the North County News with over 77 columns published globally. It may also interest our readers that I have been a college librarian at ASA College in Brooklyn and Manhattan since 2008. Moreover, I am a proud NYC member of the largest Krav Maga organization in the world: The IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation). I may publish a book in the near future. Thank you. Questions? Comments? Feel free to contact me. -- Ted J. Bloom, MLS., MSEd., CPL. College Librarian and Writer 718.433.7794 (c) NewYorkLibrarian(a)gmail.com http://computersinbloom.8k.com

by Mary K Chelton 12 May '12

12 May '12

On behalf of the Curriculum Committee, I am reminding everyone that we need two copies of every final paper or exam. Your professors will explain how they want to handle this, but it's a Faculty Senate requirement some of us have been ignoring, but no more. Mary K.
