Nandi Prince is currently an Assistant Professor at the New York City College of Technology and chairs the
Ursula C. Schwerin Library Workshop Committee. Nandi teaches LIB1201 Research & Documentation for
the Information Age. She favors trans-disciplinary methods to the study of information and research
documentation because the library department does not have a major. Her research and practice travers
the interstices of teaching and learning. She conceptualizes and designs assignments, using creativity as
a platform for inquiry. Students learn to connect course concepts through creative action, expressing their
thoughts and ideas to build a portfolio of work. Her research explores these faculty and student engagements.
She holds a MLS in Library Science and a MA in English Literature from Queens College, City University of
New York.
