Episode 033: Buffalo School of Informatics to be dissolved
Thursday, June 29, 2006
Playing time: 1:36:47

On Friday, June 16, the University at Buffalo announced that the School of Informatics, consisting of the Departments of Library and Information Studies and Communication, and the interdisciplinary program in Informatics, will be dissolved.  The Department of Library and Information Studies will move to the Graduate School of Education, while the Deparment of Communication will be part of the College of Arts and Sciences.  In this episode I invite the students in the School of Informatics to voice their concerns and ask their questions.

A few students contacted me to say they wanted to participate but couldn't make it.  For them, and for any other listeners who wish to comment, you can still do so.  Call my comment line at (716) 989-4422 and record a comment.  If I receive any voice comments I'll publish them this Sunday as a supplemental episode.

Here's another little appetizer to whet your appetite for Episode 32, coming Monday.  This is the Keynote presentation (that's the Mac equivalent to Powerpoint) that I gave Friday at the CALI Conference for Law School Computing.  Tom Boone of UNLV Law Library and Library Laws took copious notes.
