Dear jESSE Readers, The ALISE Part-time and Adjunct Faculty SIG is trying to piece together information about its founding, operations, and past activities. We currently have a search of the ALISE Archives being conducted and through a search of the jESSE Archives we have identified messages such as a call for statements on the rights and responsibilities of adjuncts in LIS programs, sent Fri, 15 Nov 1996 and the announcement of a luncheon meeting during the Boston 2005 conference. In speaking with Dean Emertius, Miles Jackson (University of Hawaii), he mentioned an ALISE meeting for adjuncts held in the late 1980s. If anyone on this list has been a part of these activities or has some information to share, please either respond to me privately at [log in to unmask] or please reply to this list. I can summarize private messages and post the summary to this list if there is interest. Many thanks in helping the ALISE Part-time and Adjunct Faculty SIG. lp Lorna Peterson [log in to unmask]
