Summer Reading: The New Yorker’s 20 Under 40 List
Recently, The New Yorker published its annual summer fiction issue. This year, the summer fiction issue recognizes 20 promising and talented fiction writers under the age of 40. The editors’ note about the selection of these emerging talents reflects on a similar list from 1999 that included Jhumpa Lahiri, Michael Chabon, and Junot Díaz, all writers whose literary accomplishments since 1999 have certainly lived up to their early promise.
Happily, the City Tech library’s collection includes a number of works by these talented writers. Tell us about your favorite emerging fiction writers in the comments.

Students: Learn to research more efficiently and effectively!
The Library Department is pleased to announce that our new course: LIB 1201 – Research & Documentation for the Information Age — will be offered during the Fall 2010 semester. This 3-credit course will run on Tuesday/Thursday 10:00am – 11:15am, and may be taken to satisfy Core requirements in Communications (COMM) or as an Elective (ELECT). The prerequisite is ENG 1101.
Course Description:
In this course students will explore issues in research and documentation for text (in print and online), images, sound, and multimedia. We will investigate where information comes from and how it is organized in both traditional and emerging media. Students will examine the ethics of information use and determine how to critically evaluate sources. Throughout the course, students will create and present research and documentation projects using traditional and emerging media and technologies.
For more information, please contact Prof. Maura Smale at msmale@citytech.cuny.edu or 718-260-5748.
