Can you please send the latest version of the proposal?At the meeting which I attended a few weeks ago with GSLIS faculty and History faculty, I do not recall that there was an increase in LIS or in total number of credits, but rather a notion that LBSCI 732 [or perhaps a different course] could be cross-listed as both LIS and History. This would enable the program to maintain the total number of overall credits and the number of credits in history as specified and still allow students who wished to do so to earn a certificate in Archives and the Preservation of Cultural Materials within that overall total.Has this idea been included or some other arrangement made?bb-----Original Message-----_______________________________________________

Dear Colleagues,
We neglected to take a vote on this proposal at our recent faculty meeting, so we need to take an electronic vote in order to move this forward. It already has been approved by the Curriculum Committee. An Ad Hoc group of a number of departmental faculty have held a series of meetings with representatives of the History Dept., along with Dean Bodnar who strongly supports the initiative. These meetings resulted in an increase in the number of course credits in order to permit students wishing to complete the certificate in Archives and Preservation to be able to fulfill these requirements while also meeting the joint degree requirements, and some courses will be cross-listed in both departments in order to maximize flexibility.
Joel Allen, Chair of the History Dept. is in charge of moving this forward and would to proceed as soon as possible.
Please bring any questions you might have to the attention of GSLISFAC, and hopefully one of those of us who attended the meetings can address any concerns, if I am unable to do so. We also have a Curriculum meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 20, at 1:30 (or as soon as the Admission Committee finishes, so possibly at 1:00. If there are concerns these also can be addressed at that time. Minutes and agenda for the Curr. comm are forthcoming.
Deborah and Jackie--we sincerely regret omitting you from the distribution list for our last Curr. meeting, but will share with you the minutes and hope one of you can join us this coming Thursday!
If there are no questions, I request that you vote in support of this measure no later than Thursday at 2:30.
If I don't hear from you by Friday, March 21 at noon, I will assume that you support the initiative.
Many thanks to all,
Claudia PerryCurriculum Comm Co-Chair
