Dear colleagues, A reminder that there will be two important events scheduled this coming Wednesday, 2-11-15, during Curriculum Space, 5:45-7:10. Regular 3:55 classes will end early, and 6:40 classes will begin late, to accommodate these special events. An introduction to APA Style will be held in the President’s Conference Room #2, in Rosenthal Library. An event targeting students in the Archives Program will be held in the Student Lounge at the same time, as noted below. The introduction to APA Style, with an emphasis on citations and references, is especially important for students in LBSCI 701, and for those in required core courses who have no previous experience with the 6th edition of the APA Style Manual. It should serve as an important refresher for any students needing to brush up on their APA skills, especially for those enrolled in LBSCI 709.

The session will consist of short presentations about the benefits of student membership and participation in professional archives organizations, followed by a Q&A discussion in which students will be encouraged to ask questions about professional engagement and the field in general. Our guests include: Jenny Swadosh (GSLIS '07), Associate Archivist for the New School Archives and Special Collections, member of SAA's Reference, Access, and Outreach Section, mentor to new professionals through SAA's Mentoring Program, and active MARAC member. and: Nick Pavlik (GSLIS '11), Senior Archivist at the 92nd Street Y and Director of the Programming Committee at ART.

Gslisadjuncts Fwd: Prof David Cohen Passed Away this Morning @ 105 years old.
by Claudia Perry 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Dear Colleagues, Professor Andrew Jackson shares with us this announcement of the loss of former GSLIS Adjunct Professor David Cohen. Attached is an article honoring Prof. Cohen, the beginnings of which I repeat below (from an article in NYLA last year). Please share as appropriate. "Retired GSLIS Professor Celebrates 105th Birthday By Andrew P. Jackson (Sekou Molefi Baako) Professor David Cohen, considered “a library legend and pioneer in Multicultural Library Education and Intellectual Freedom” by many who know him, celebrated his 105th birthday on May 24, 2014. Professor Cohen retired from Queens College’s Graduate School of Library and Information Studies (CUNY), in Flushing, Queens, New York after serving for over seven decades. He advocated for building multicultural library collections and encouraged publishing books by culturally diverse authors. In 1978 he created and taught GSLIS 771 Libraries in a Multicultural Society: Programs and Collections, for their library science curriculum. In Professor Cohen’s honor, The David Cohen Multicultural Award, established in 1991, is presented to a graduating senior or alum.

Gslisadjuncts Curriculum Space to be held Wed., Feb. 11, 2015, from 5:45-7:15
by Claudia Perry 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Dear Colleagues and Students, Please note that several events will be held during a Curriculum Space on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, from 5:45-7:15. An introduction to APA Style will be held in the President’s Conference Room #2, in Rosenthal Library. An event targeting students in the Archives Program will be held in the Student Lounge at the same time. Further details on the Archives event will be sent out tomorrow by Prof. Thayer. The introduction to APA Style, with an emphasis on citations and references, is especially important for students in LBSCI 701, and for those in required core courses who have no previous experience with the 6th edition of the APA Style Manual. It should serve as an important refresher for any students needing to brush up on their APA skills, especially for those enrolled in LBSCI 709. All classes starting at 3:55 will end early (just before 6:00), and 6:40 classes will start late (7:05), 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 hope to see you there. In the meantime, stay warm! Profs. Claudia Perry and Johnathan Thayer Claudia A.
