A brief dinner followed the welcoming of this semester’s new LIS students to the program on Wednesday, January 15.  In the Saval Auditorium of the St. John’s Manhattan campus, returning students and faculty joined our newcomers to welcome the 2014 spring semester.

The night ended with students engaging in brief orientations to online and mixed mode classes being offered this spring, including LIS203: Organization of Information, LIS211: Collection Development and Management of Resources, and LIS237 and LIS238, Metadata and Web Design, respectively.   Students were allowed the opportunity to ask questions about the class and upcoming projects, many of which will be presented at the Spring Symposium on April 5.
