Shanghai Surprise: CUNY Library Faculty Residencies at Shanghai Universities

As inaugural participants in the CUNY-Shanghai Library Faculty Exchange Program, Subash Gandhi [Queens] and Ellen Sexton [John Jay] completed one-month Residencies at Shanghai Normal University and Shanghai University, respectively, in Spring 2010.  Come hear their presentations – richly illustrated with photos – of their life-changing experiences.

News about the disastrous earthquake that devastated Haiti no longer occupies front pages of newspapers, but the earthquake‘s effects continue to disrupt everyday life of the Haitian people.

Haitian libraries were not spared by this natural disaster and many have sustained heavy damage.

LACUNY IRRT would like to express our deep concern and sympathy to Haitian librarians and encourage all CUNY librarians to support them by making a donation for the cause of rebuilding Haitian libraries

We're pleased to announce that CUNY Libraries has set up a library faculty exchange with Shanghai University and Shanghai Normal Universities in Shanghai, China starting Spring 2010.

Five CUNY campuses [Baruch, Lehman, Queens, Staten Island, York] have agreed to host visiting Chinese faculty from these institutions.

In exchange, in Spring 2010 CUNY plans to send two library faculty to each institution for one-month Residencies. We invite and encourage Applications.
