Libraries News

Free Viewing of New PBS Documentary: Tonight at midnight, PBS is offering the Age of Champions National Online Premiere, where the public can watch the entire film, for free, on their website for ten days. The film is about five competitors, who are up to the age of 100, competing for gold medals at the National Senior Olympics.
GALILEO Password – Unscheduled Password Change: The GALILEO password was made public & is being changed. Visit the Libraries’ Homepage, and click on GALILEO Password to get the new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Take a Doggie Break: If you’re feeling stressed over Finals (whether by the thought of taking them or by the thought of having to grade them all), join the Libraries for a little Dog Therapy, or “Paws & Relax”. Thanks to Reference & Instruction Librarian, Nadine Cohen for making this possible.
Reserve Materials: The deadlines for placing materials on reserve (physical copies or e-reserves) in the Main or Science Libraries are: April 30th for Summer Session classes and July 8th for Fall classes. Physical materials may also be placed on reserve in the CML by contacting Jason Matherly and the CML is smaller so we can be a bit more flexible with dates.
Congratulations to CML Student Worker Sara Black: One of our new student workers in the CML, Sara Black, has been awarded a Udall Scholarship, for her work on environmental issues. See the article in this week’s Columns for all the info.
Spring, Summer, Fall – the Circle of Library Instruction Continues: Despite the notion that we’re closed in the Summer and the questions we frequently get, “Are you here in the summer?” we actually ARE here in the Summer. (Heck, we’re open on Christmas Eve…) Make use of that fact by inviting librarians to your classes for a topic–specific, specially tailored instruction session on making the most of the Libraries. Get your tax dollars’ worth by contacting Nadine Cohen or Carla Wilson Buss to arrange a session. It’s not too early to think about it. Really. I’m not making that up.
