Useful links for new students :
Yahoo! GLIS book exchange/sale group - A good group to join to see if your fellow classmates might be selling books from prior semesters, and/or where you can sell your own books. There might also be books for sale listed here in the Knight News classifieds (the online version of the newspaper on campus).
GLIS-Ann - GLIS-Ann is the official announcement listserv for our department and has announcements about qcLISSA events, class schedule/location changes, news, information about professional meetings and job listings.
Citation Machine - Not quite sure how to navigate your APA Handbook, but still need to whip up good citations? Citation machine can get you started. Just click on APA and you'll see lots of options for entering in your data. Of course, always check it against the manual if possible.
