Gslisadjuncts Cuts in adjunct budgets for spring 2015
by colleen cool 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Dear faculty, By now you have heard much about the CUNY budget cuts and the impact this is having across departments college wide. Adjunct budgets are next to come under the microscope and GSLIS will have to make some cost saving moves. Courses that can be taught by full time faculty must be given to those faculty before being assigned to adjuncts. In some cases, faculty are being asked to defer banked course releases in order to teach a course that might otherwise go to an adjunct. Departments are being asked to carefully consider the number of elective courses they offer and courses with small enrollments are unlikely to run in the spring. Adjunct faculty will not be permitted to offer Special Topics courses in spring 2015. I will be meeting with Dean Wolfe later this week to discuss specific ways to trim the GSLIS adjunct budget for spring and I will report back to you as details become available. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Students and Colleagues, Here is the PPT from last night’s Curriculum Space, which was well attended by the 36 students in both sections of 701. I hope those who attended will find this a useful resource, and those who were unable to attend will also find it helpful. Links at the end provide additional web-based resources to complement the APA Style Guide. In addition, I would like to encourage those who might benefit from tutoring assistance or other guidance from the QC Writing Center to check out their services at the link below: http://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/SupportPrograms/SupportCenter/Pages/Writin… Valuable resources can be found here: http://writingatqueens.qc.cuny.edu/for-students/ Thanks to those who joined us for your insightful questions!

Gslisadjuncts Reminder: Curriculum Space tonight in Rosenthal 230.
by Claudia Perry 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Dear Colleagues, The APA Curriculum Space will be held tonight, September 8, in the auditorium, Rosenthal 230, from 5:45 to 7:15. Classes beginning at 3:55 will end early, and 6:40 classes will start late so that all may attend without missing class. This workshop is especially important for students in the core classes, and has been scheduled on a Tuesday to ensure that all those students enrolled in the two sections of 701 at 3:55, and the three sections of 700 can attend. APA is the required citation and writing style for all GSLIS courses. If you are a student in HIST 791 and must arrive a little bit late please try to join us with as little disruption as possible. This workshop is also valuable as a refresher for students who are taking 709. I look forward to seeing you! Dr. Perry Claudia A. Perry, MLS, Ph.D Associate Professor Director of Admissions Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Flushing, NY 11367 claudia.perry(a)qc.cuny.edu 718-997-3790
