ParticipantJust a note that a new bit of functionality on the Commons allows members to post to multiple groups at the same time. More info – http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2015/05/21/introducing-commons-1-8/

MemberExactly, thanks Matt.
I did post to both groups and am getting responses from both!June 17, 2015 at 11:41 am #40362Matthew K. Gold (he/him)
ParticipantFantastic, Shawn. I think we set this up so that in cases where members are part of multiple groups to which the same message has been posted, they will receive only one email notification.

MemberAll,
Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll.
As a result of the very split results, and additional comments the results are (drum roll please):Project Name
Librarians Across CUNY – LILAC @ Futures InitiativeLibrarian Name
Futures Initiative Library LiaisonThis is a hybrid for what it seemed everyone wanted to choose – the best parts of each of the choices. Unless there are any huge objections, this is what we will call the project and librarians going forward.
Project Overview
To recap, the LILAC group will partner with the Futures Initiative in order to receive access to the projected 90 adjuncts, and thereby 1800 undergraduates throughout CUNY who will participate as students in Fall 2015/Spring 2016 Futures Initiative courses.How will it work?
Futures Initiative Library Liaisons will receive lists of GC students, enrolled in one of five of the Graduate Center Futures Initiative courses who are also adjuncts at their campus. Librarians will then have the opportunity to outreach to these adjuncts and supply library support in ways that make sense for their library. This may include the creation of course-specific libguides or other resources, bibliographic info sessions, or guidance on engaging their students to library resources for their assignments. Ultimately, it offers the opportunity of engagement to a constituency previously unreachable.The adjunct course list will be compiled by the Graduate Center Futures Initiative library liaison (currently me, Shawnta Smith-Cruz). The GC Librarian will also supply GC student/adjuncts with the names of librarians at their respective campuses.
As usual, please send me any questions, objections, or feedback. Thank you again for voting!
Best,
ShawnShawn(ta) Smith-Cruz
