What’s New on the ERIC Document Situation: A recent post on the Education & Social Science Librarians’ listserv had information on the ERIC documents that were removed last year from the digital collection of documents. Less than 2% of the total number of ERIC documents have been scanned and of those scanned, less that 75% have been made available. Scanning is based solely on patron requests. In the summer the folks at ERIC expect to start scanning newly-released documents as well as continuing with the requested titles. They expect the entire process to take five years. There are currently 60,000 user-requested documents waiting to be scanned. The good news is that they expect to have all the user-requested titles available in the next six months to a year. The other really good news is that we still have the microfiche of most of these documents in the basement of the Main Library, filed by ED number.

Library Staff Association Flower Sale: The annual LSA Flower and Bake Sale will be held on Thursday, February 14 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Main Library, Science Library, and the MLC. Lots of good bakers work in the Libraries, if that is the inspiration you need. Portions of proceeds from LSA events benefit local charities.

New Books in the CML: For a number of years we’ve displayed the newly arrived titles near the door into the CML. This week we added a section for Spanish Language Titles. After these titles are off the “new” shelf, they’ll be shelved by call number and not separated. ¡ Ven a ver nuestros libros nuevos!
