On October 13, the College of Communication & Information (CCI) Leadership Board had its annual fall meeting at the Florida State University Alumni Center. The Board meets on campus bi-annually to receive updates on the Dean’s and College’s priorities, development updates, and discuss how the Board can align with and support those priorities to discuss and prepare upcoming plans for the College. Board officers also have a monthly executive committee virtual meeting that all board members are welcome to participate in.

The fall meeting focused on hearing Dean Kazmer’s insights and priorities for the College, as well as defining roles and responsibilities of the Board committees. The Board also announced new officers, received a development update and discussed fundraising.

“I look forward to continuing to work with the Board and its leadership team to ensure that the College of Communication and Information has the resources and visibility it needs to help Florida State University meet its strategic goals, and to help our students continue to excel during their time at Florida State University and into their careers,” shared CCI Dean Dr. Michelle Kazmer.

“The depth and scope of the Board’s industry expertise, talent, and experience is inspiring,” said CCI Leadership Board Chair Jeanne Ford. “I’m excited to see their innovation, creativity and results-driven dedication in action to support the Dean’s priorities and continue pushing the College of Communication and Information to new heights and accomplishments.

The Board welcomed two new members: Peter Burke and Arlene Borenstein.

Burke is a Digital Executive Producer at WPTV Newschannel 5 in Delray Beach, FL, and Borenstein is a Media Relations and Public Relations Program Manager for the City of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Both Burke and Borenstein hope to help the Board by increasing communication and outreach through social media channels.

In 2010, the Brazilian government passed a law requiring all Brazilian schools to have a library by the year 2020. Six years later, the country is still facing unique roadblocks in their progress towards this goal – roadblocks that visiting professor Dr. Adriana Duarte will be examining during her time with us in Tallahassee.

Before a school can establish a library, the human capital required to operate one must be sourced or trained. This is where Dr. Duarte is focusing her research with Florida State University’s School of Information. “I came to FSU to do a research in a sabbatical year from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, where I am an associate Professor,” says Duarte, “a major problem for Brazil is that the librarian undergraduate and graduate schools at universities train generalists, and almost never include include courses that discuss school libraries.”

Dr. Duarte will be observing library classes in FSU’s Master’s in Information program as well as interviewing librarians from Leon County public schools during her research. She hopes to find solutions in the way school librarians are trained in the U.S. that are scalable for Brazil’s needs, “We are not forming school librarians / media specialists to work in all these new required school libraries that will be needed in the next few years. The overall objective of this research is to find possibilities for development and improvement for the school library curricula and for the Brazilian school libraries.”

Welcome to Florida State University Dr. Duarte!

WCTV reported on a Tallahassee couple accused of attempting to steal nearly three quarters of a million dollars from the state’s unclaimed property vault. The heavily guarded vault is located in Tallahassee and contains millions in jewels, watches, coins and currency.

Thomas Penquite and Maria Gutierrez are being accused of trying to claim more than $733,000 from accounts that were not their own.

Department of Financial Services was able to stop the couple from leaving the building with any property. Officials were tipped off when the duo re-activated three corporations that had been defunct to make claims.

Pam Doffek, Director of the Goldstein Library in the School of Information, was asked about the public availability of  corporate documents online. Doffek easily found that all documents were easy to find.  The mentioned documents were still there and had Gutierrez’s name on them.

Doffek told WCTV, “The public records were right there,” she said. “Paperwork looked good, whether it was legal or illegal, whether they were fraudulent or not fraudulent.”

Doffek has contributed as a source to WCTV articles for years and said the open access records allowed her to help in this situation.
