A New Library - Or how to change your library without really trying

Could our library have seen more changes the past year? From the addition of the new Scholar's coffee Cafe in the front of the Hazy Library & Learning Center to the URI - Undergraduate Research Institute.

It hasn't come without alot of hard work: This summer alone, a team of 6 helped take out more than a dozen shelves to consolidate the book collection and move the magazine racks on the way to enlarging the footprint and creating collaborative space for students and faculty. It's all good!

 

 

URI collaborative Space

Increasingly, caffeinated students, faculty and even the local public find their way to the library ASK desk (AKA 'reference desk' in a past life), getting help with everything from using the printers to finding books and e-books in the YLN catalog. 

Nighttime finds students sitting around tables, eating, lounging ,working together. Different is hardly the word for it - a new environment is more like it - people working together!

Start of Summer?

Post graduation, Summer 2010 has arrived. Where did the year go?

Here in the Hazy Library, we're busy setting ambitious goals for ourselves: Updating LibGuides, considering new 'active learning' instruction classes and Camtasia modules, and preparing for our offsite Retreat next week.

The campus Women's Association gave away $1,500 in scholarship funds to 2 deserving female students: Sharon (left) and Kristen. This after a very successful fund-raising in Spring. Thanks to the local Texas Roadhouse for their help in this effort.

Here is a video I just made using Animoto and selecting photos and music. Couldn't be easier. Enjoy the Chihuly glass exhibit that was on display in Phoenix this spring @ the Desert Botanical Garden.
