Communication
The primary means of communication among GSLIS at MHC students and faculty is through the web-based courseware Simmons eLearning, listservs, and through e-mail. Students are responsible for checking both eLearning and their Simmons e-mail account frequently.
Every student enrolled in the GSLIS program is given an email account. Email addresses usually follow the
format of firstname.lastname@simmons.edu. Login names and passwords are sent to you before classes begin. If
you lose your username or password, please contact the Tech Lab at 617.521.2802 or email gslislab@simmons.edu.
All official GSLIS information will be sent out through your Simmons email account. You will be responsible
for all information sent out through your account. Please check your Simmons account regularly or forward it
to your personal email account. See E-mail
Tips for directions for forwarding e-mail from the Simmons account to an account that is more
convenient.
Administrative announcements and other information about the program are sent out to the gslisatmhc-l list. All current students and faculty are placed on this list. There is also a LISSA West list which is for students only. You can subscribe to the list here: https://lists.simmons.edu/lists/info/gslisatmhc-l
Bulletin boards
LISSA West maintains an online bulletin board for current announcements, postings for jobs, volunteer opportunities, and other items of interest to GSLIS West students. Check access through eLearning. There is also a bulletin board in the GSLIS West office for print notices.
