Today is the first day of classes and campus is hopping!
What's happening at the Library this week?
First of all, if you're using the north-south corridor as a pass through to another class - stop and notice that there is someone from the library at the Library BookNook just waiting to welcome you and your directional questions about the library. Stop by and say, "Hello!"
Second, if you're already in the hallway, you'll notice the library exhibit, "Collection in the Occult Sciences." The Merten J. Mandeville Collection is an endowment collection of over 16,000 volumes and journal titles. If you're interested in the afterlife, aliens and tarot cards - stop by the Education and Social Science Library and check out this unique research collection.
Third, over the summer the library opened a new entry to the Main Stacks. It's the same entrance on the second floor of the Main Library, but the turnstile is gone. Just store your belongings in the lockers provided and show your i-card at the desk and you'll be on your way to 6 million volumes and 10 decks of books. There are maps of the stacks just inside the doorway to your right. And remember, we shelve everything in Dewey!
Welcome back! We're looking forward to serving you for the 2008-2009 academic year.
P.S. Every Monday we'll be posting what's happening in the University Library. So c'mon back and check it out!
