NJOLT enables Rutgers Library and Information Science students, library colleagues, and school administrators to discover the many innovative practices led by the librarians at New Jersey public and school libraries.
During the last six months, SC&I faculty member Richard Dool has participated in a series of leadership and communication workshops hosted by the U.S. State Department and Rutgers-New Brunswick.
The School of Communication and Information’s LIS Department and iSchool faculty and doctoral students will attend and present at the 87th Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), the premier international conference in the field, from October 25-29, 2024, in Calgary, Canada. SC&I is honored to sponsor the welcome reception.
A new university initiative focused on artificial intelligence and data science will create a virtual hub where university researchers and students will converge and lead efforts to make discoveries and devise practical applications. Efforts will include a call to faculty for proposals, new student research programs and formation of a “collaboratory” hub.
“Leadership matters,” said Ralph Gigliotti, one of the study's lead authors and an affiliate professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. “Leaders play a critical role in the enthusiasm level of working group members and influence their interest in wanting to continue with a project of this kind.”
