Biology Library news, 8/2011
The new 2011-2012 academic year is upon us, so I’d like to welcome new and returning graduate students and faculty. For you old-timers, I’d like to remind you that the Biology Library has closed. Most of our books and journals have been sent to the Funk ACES Library, and you will no longer be able to drop off or pick up material from the Burrill Hall facility. We have changed the old Biology Library website into a new Biology portal (http://www.library.illinois.edu/bix/) to reflect this change. Our closing FAQ at http://www.library.illinois.edu/bix/closingfaq.html will provide more information on how to get library services without a physical Biology Library.
I will continue to have an office in Burrill Hall although the location and specific office hours are still to be determined. For now, call me at 3-0281 or email me at dcschmid@illinois.edu if you have any questions. I am available to answer questions, do in-class training sessions, and more.
For new students and faculty, we have prepared guides for new faculty, grad students, and undergraduates. Check them out at http://www.library.illinois.edu/bix/resources/guides/orientation.html.
