Well Hello GSLIS,
The semester is winding down and finals are looming. So take a break from last minute classroom pressure and peruse through some GSLIS announcements. The following posts include LISSA elections, LISSA evaluations, LISSA open meetings, and upcoming workshops.
Best,
Cheryl Kohen
LISSA President, Boston

Sign Up to Distribute Course Evaluations!
Here's how it works. You can sign up at http://gslis.simmons.edu/mw/lissa/Spring_2008_Course by adding your name under the course which you would like to distribute the evaluations (probably, a course which you are attending, but I won't stop you if you want to cover a course you're not attending).
Then, sometime before the last week of class, I will place an envelope of evaluations in your student mailbox folder (gray filing cabinet in the GSLIS Lounge). You bring this envelope to your last class, distribute them to be filled out, collect them back, and return the envelope to the black tray sitting atop the student mailbox filing cabinet. And that's it! You're done! You will have helped future generations of GSLIS Students make better informed decisions in their selection of courses.
Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or if you don't even see your course listed on the wiki page above (it's happened before, I'm only human). Please sign up as early as you can so I can be sure to get the evaluations to you.
Thank you very much for your time and generosity and I hope you have a great long weekend.
Sincerely,
Sean Thibodeau
LISSA Vice President, GSLIS Boston
