---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ASIS&T Continuing Education <education(a)asis.org> Date: Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 4:55 PM Subject: SIG ED: Happiness and Its Relationship with Information To: colleen.cool(a)gmail.com ** ****** *SIG ED: Happiness and Its Relationship with Information***** *Join us for a Webinar on September 10* *FREE for ASIS&T members & non-members* <https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/872038918>**** *Space is limited.* Reserve your Webinar seat now at: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-SIGED-9-10-2013.html**** Empirical research has shown that a large part (40% as per Lyubomirsky, 2007) of our happiness is within our power to change. A question is whether happiness can be taught, and if it can, why it is left out from learning outcomes in higher education and the curriculum in Library and Information Science (LIS) schools. In this webinar, Dr. Naresh Agarwal will share his 7 commandments in life and lead to a theoretical model of happiness. He will also explore the relationship between happiness and information and the place of happiness in information science research and in LIS education.**** ** ** *Title:***** *SIG ED: Happiness and Its Relationship with Information***** *Date:***** Tuesday, September 10, 2013**** *Time:***** 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT**** **** After registering you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the Webinar.**** **** *System Requirements* PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server**** Mac®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.6 or newer**** Mobile attendees Required: iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phone or Android tablet If you do not wish to receive any further electronic marketing communications from ASIS&T you can opt-out completely, please note you will no longer receive Association updates or any conference information you may have subscribed to.

Am not sure that signing a Move On petition will help, but for what it's worth, and in case you didn't know it was going on. Mary K.

Across the board, in standardized tests, qualitative evaluation, and college preparedness school librarians made a difference. > > The NYC DOE is requesting a variance to state law which requires librarians in middle and high schools. You believe in librarians enough to sign our petition to not let them get away with this. Please support our campaign by looping back around to your friends and family and having them add thier name as well. > > We need EVERYONE'S support if we are going to go up against the DOE and win this fight.
