    The Magazine of Teachers College, Columbia University ON THE COVER Our cover image for this issue of TC Today is by the artist Peter Arkle. If as Einstein said the mass of a system is the measure of its energy content, TC’s impact will only get bigger in the years ahead. We’re a college in perpetual motion — generating new ideas, sparking connections between people and disciplines, and galvanizing students to create their own TC Firsts. We express that potential through the equation E(ducation) = TC2 — representing the power of one graduate school of education to transform areas ranging from nutrition policy to English education to learning space itself, in New York City and around the world. PRESIDENT’S LETTER BUILDING TC’S FUTURE fter our year-long celebration diversity and its great value to society.

  • Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings
    Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings The Directory of Institutions is the first part of a continuation of the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada, published in 1935 and 1937, and its 1962 Supplement.1 The present Directory details, when known, the current location of the collections listed in the original Census and Supplement, and identifies an additional 281 North American repositories of pre-1600 European manuscripts in Western languages that were not included in the earlier works. For all of the 475 North American repositories, this Directory provides updated contact data and general information on pre-1600 manuscript holdings. Detailed descriptions of individual manuscripts are outside the scope of this Directory, but bibliographical references to published catalogues and internet addresses giving access to on-line cataloguing records are provided when available. Following the organizational scheme of the original Census and Supplement, the Directory entries are organized alphabetically by State and City, with public collections listed first for each city, followed by private. (Due to privacy issues, modern private collections are not included). As in the original publications, the Canadian Provinces are found in a separate listing at the end of the directory. We would like to thank the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to this updated directory through their gathering and sharing of information regarding the whereabouts of pre- 1600 manuscripts in North American collections. To keep this information current, we ask that any updates or corrections be reported to us at [email protected].

  • Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh
    Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh President’s Welcome Angela Weiler Welcome to the SUNYLA Conference! Each year we gather together, as colleagues, professionals, and friends, to share what we've been working on during the past year and to learn from each other. Of equal importance, though, are the bonds we form and strengthen, bonds that are forged through personal, human contact. Regular face-to-face communication within a large university system is always difficult to arrange (particularly in the winter!), but on occasions such as this conference, when we can actually get together, eat together, learn together, and play together, we find once again that no e-mail list, blog, or telephone can quite match the "being there" experience. May you have a wonderful time here, and leave the SUNYLA Conference inspired, refreshed, and rejuvenated! Welcome from the Conference Chair Shannon Pritting Welcome to the 43 rd SUNY Librarians Association Conference. Our theme for this year, “Shared Borders: Collaborating for Success,” embodies what libraries have always been good at: sharing and collaborating. These two core principles of librarianship have kept libraries relevant, and will continue to keep us as important voices in diverse conversations. The program planning committee, especially Kim Davies Hoffman, has put together an agenda that could sustain a conference of several days. And, most importantly, Debra Kimok and the local arrangements committee at Plattsburgh have designed a conference experience that promises to entertain, stimulate conversations, and hopefully further collaborations across SUNY. I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with many SUNY Librarians who have helped with planning this conference, especially Logan Rath, who makes the complications of registration seem easy, and Pat Maxwell for her diligence, diplomacy, and creativity in working with our generous sponsors and exhibitors.

  • Room Assignments Policy
    ROOM ASSIGNMENTS POLICY INTRODUCTION Space at Teachers College is limited and rooms may only be used for courses and activities aligned with the business of the College. As an academic institution, the College gives first priority to courses. Rooms are never to be used for personal use or outside organizations (unless approved by TC Senior Leadership). Misrepresenting the nature of a room request is a violation of TC’s conduct code. Failure to comply with any of the terms of this policy may lead to refusal of future room requests. The Office of Room Assignments (“Room Assignments”) processes room requests for both academic and non-academic activities. Room Assignments neither coordinates long-term reservations nor reclassifies room ownership and/or designation. Room Assignments is also not responsible for the furniture or technology located within each room. This policy only applies to the rooms controlled by Room Assignments. The following spaces are controlled by separate offices and are subject to their respective policies: Gottesman Libraries, Grace Dodge Dining Hall, Russell Courtyard, Macy Computer Labs, academic departments, hallways, and residence halls. I. WHO CAN REQUEST SPACE TC faculty, staff, or students may submit room requests. Room Assignments reserves the right to modify or cancel room requests at any time with respect to the best interests of the College. Faculty • Academic activities (courses and breakout rooms for courses) • Department activities (if department space is unavailable) • College-sponsored events (meetings

Our legacy is the work of a long list of thinkers and doers that includes James Russell and John Dewey; Lawrence Cremin and Maxine Greene; Edmund Gordon and Isabel Maitland Stewart; Mary Swartz Rose and Morton Deutsch; Arthur Wesley Dow and William Heard Kilpatrick. These are people who created fields of inquiry. At Teachers College today, our work is about living up to their legacy by ensuring that we not only build knowledge, but enhance its impact by engaging directly with the policymakers and practitioners who will put it to use. Because of our preeminence, it is both our privilege and our obligation to focus our coursework and our research on the questions of the day in each of the fields we serve.
