Gslisadjuncts Reminder--Curriculum Space on APA Style on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
by Claudia Perry 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Dear Colleagues and Students, Please note that a Curriculum Space on APA Style on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 will be held from 5:45 to 7:15 in the Rosenthal Library, 5th floor, President's Conference Room #2. This introduction to APA Style, with an emphasis on citations and references, is especially important for students in 701, or for those in required core courses who have no previous experience with the 6th edition of the APA Style Manual. Although held on a Wednesday, classes will be following a Monday schedule, so we hope that 702 and 703 students with classes those days attend. All classes starting at 3:55 will end early (just before 5:45), and 6:40 classes will start late (7:15), so that all interested students and faculty can attend. Curriculum Spaces are offered four times a semester, one each on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, to allow us to offer special events outside of regularly scheduled classes. We are also very pleased that Mr. John Troynaski of the Writing Center will be speaking about services offered by the QC Writing Center, and the importance of good writing. We hope to see you there. In the meantime, please stay warm and dry! Drs. Claudia Perry and Ping Li Claudia A. Perry, MLS, Ph.D Associate Professor Graduate Advisor for Admissions Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Flushing, NY 11367 claudia.perry(a)qc.cuny.edu 718-997-3790

Gslisadjuncts Waterways of New York Database in NY Heritage Digital Collections
by Claudia Perry 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Dear colleagues, Since 2006 students at the GSLIS have been working on digitizing pre-1923 postcards for a database entitled “Waterways of New York.” The initial database utilized the open source software called Greenstone. Subsequently, the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) hosted the database using the proprietary CONTENTdm software. The database is now being connected through the New York Heritage Digital Collections website [http://cdm16694.contentdm.oclc.org - use Search “Queens College” for easiest access]. We are pleased to announce that, in December 2012, Waterways of New York had 13,625 views! To date, students in the “Introduction to Digital Imaging” course (LBSCI 757) have uploaded 971 postcards [1943 images - front and back] and their related metadata. Students are given credit for their work and a number have used the database to show off their knowledge of digitization to employers and potential employers. Thanks and kudos to the dozens of students who have contributed to this project over the years! Claudia A. Perry, MLS, Ph.D Associate Professor Graduate Advisor for Admissions Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Flushing, NY 11367 claudia.perry(a)qc.cuny.edu 718-997-3790 Professor W.
