There is a typo in the previous email. For October, it is not Oct 3, but Oct 17, as the first two Mondays in Oct are both no-school day. So the correct days are: (1) Thur: Sept 1, APA Workshop (2) Mon: Oct 17. No topic yet, please suggest and recommend topic (3) Tue: Nov 8: This will be a special event. Start at 4:00 pm instead of 5:45pm, last for about an hour. Speaker will be recommended and invited by our Queens College president. (4) Wed: Dec 7: Workshops/Preparation Talk for 709 and 795. Sorry for the confusion K.B. -- Kwong-Bor Ng, Ph.D. Acting Chair and Professor Graduate School of Library & Information Studies Queens College, City University of New York
