About the blog: Introduction and Policies

Lire ce message en Français

Welcome to the official student association blog.

The blog is a space for students to share information, ask questions, comment and discuss. It is also a space to have fun. Feel free to post any interesting or funny stuff you have, especially if it is related to the field of Library and Information Science or to our program.


Language

The Masters of Information Studies program at the University of Ottawa is a bilingual program. Because the blog is intended to be a place where students can share information and discuss topics of interest in an informal way, students are welcome to post in the official language they prefer. Any official messages from AÉSISSA will be posted in both French and English.


Blog Etiquette

While this blog is meant to be an informal space for students to interact and share, it is still the official blog of AÉSISSA and we wish to present ourselves as respectful information professionals. So, the following rules apply to content posted on the blog, including the comments.

1. Any posts or comments that meet any of the following criteria will be removed:

• Racist, hateful, sexist, homophobic, or insulting
• Threats directed at an individual, group or organization
• Obscene, or pornographic materials
• Unsolicited advertising or promotion

2. Any complaints received regarding content on the blog will be reviewed and handled by the AÉSISSA Executive Council.

The content on the blog does not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the AÉSISSA Executive Council.

Become a Blog Author!

If you want to be added as an author on the blog, so you can post your own content, please send your Gmail address to AÉSISSA@gmail.com and you will be sent an invitation. If you don’t have a Gmail address, you can create one specifically for posting on the blog; it’s easy and free. Your email address will be used to send you an invitation only, it will not be visible on the blog. If you don't want to use your email address but you still want to post content, you can email it to AÉSISSA with the subject line 'Please Post' and it will be posted for you by the Webmaster.


Questions or Comments

Any questions, suggestions or concerns regarding the AÉSISSA Website can be sent to AÉSISSA@gmail.com. Emails to AÉSISSA will only be posted on the blog if the author requests. Right now emails sent to AÉSISSA go to me, the Webmaster for AÉSISSA .


Remember to have fun and share!
