If you have suggestions for the LIS department - say, about Bilger, classes, or whatever it may be - send them our way! During the year, Hui Dui will forward your suggestions at the faculty meetings, but if there is something that should be addressed more quickly we can forward the suggestion sooner. You can give us your suggestions 2 ways:
1. There(Update is a2/8/09) smallThe brightsuggestion box in Bilger 319 on the table where the snacks reside. If you have any ideas for Hui Dui and would like to share them, please put them in the box. Cards have been provided with the box, but you can put your suggestion on anyPost paper you like.318B.
2. E-mail us at huidui@hawaii.edu
As you make suggestions and the LIS department responds, we will post this information to keep you in the loop. So if you have some ideas, let us know!
6) When will LIS offer the LIS 700v Thesis Research class? I know several people are interestetedinterested but no one seems to know when that course is offered. Thanks!
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
Usually I try to explain about this at Orientation, but I know that there was a lot of information then. Basically, LIS 700 is not a class per se, but is credit while working on a thesis. For more on doing a thesis, read the "Plan A section" at
http://www.hawaii.edu/lis/program.php?page=masters
Your adviser can help explain this. You are welcome to switch advisers to the faculty member who might be able to supervise your thesis. As the website explains, you do have to pass a research methods course before being able to propose a subject. We didn't have enough students interested the last time we offered LIS 695 Seminar in Research in Librarianship, but will try again in a few years. If you are interested NOW, your adviser can help you select an alternative graduate research methods course as a substitute (which would obviously count towards your 42-credit load).
In the past decade we've only had one student do the Plan A approach. It is a lot of work and you have to be self-driven, but the faculty encourage students to consider this if they are good writers and have a research question they want to explore.
5) Please, can we get working wi-fi consistently administered in here?
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
If you have any technical problems with wi-fi or the computers, please contact the ICS Lab folks directly.
ics327@yahoo.com I will send them a reminder too.
Addendum 11/18/08: I just checked with the ICS lab team, and was told that the wi-fi was working. It is somewhat hidden as a security option, so you do have to create the connection (rather than simply pulling it down from a list of wifi options). This should be automatic though once you've done this once. Hope that helps.
4) What is the "LIS" network password in Bilger 319? Can this info be distributed to everyone somehow?
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
Are you asking about wireless or the standalone computers in Bilger? The computers should be OK with a guest account, no? We can't post passwords or send them via e-mail because it would be a security concern for ICS, which operates the lab. ICS also doesn't want to distribute the admin password, so people don't reconfigure the computers. They spend quite a bit of time checking labs for different bugs with specialized software, so they don't want us adding or removing software.
3) The light above the back right table in the classroom is flickering. Every time I sit at that table I get epilepsy. It is very distracting and makes it hard to focus during class, can the light be replaced?
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
I am forwarding the message to Gail, and hope she can contact facilities about Bilger. Thanks.
2) Today, I came into BIL 319 early to print something off the computers, and it seems that the computers are not connected to the printer. This was a problem last semester too, and it would be prudent to get DNS in here to fix them soon. Also Firefox was recently installed? and it is needing some updates? It is shameful to have such "good" computers (for LIS use only) that are not in proper working order. These computers are supposed to be a convenience, but I find myself going out of my way to AVOID using them because they have so many issued.
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
We requested the ICS IT Specialist to take care of this. Thanks for calling it to our attention.
Response from Hui Dui:
As far as the printer goes, usually the problem is that the default printer is OneNote. If you change the printer to Dell it will usually work after that.
1)Internships NEED to be available in the summer sessions.
Response from Dr. Andrew Wertheimer:
We will offer an internship (LIS 690) option this summer. This is our first time to do so. We will be posting details soon. Students will be able to take it any time in the summer as one of the 4 courses one can take in the summer. We'll be posting more details later.
