There are a few new things going on at Smiley Library that I wanted to share with all of you. First, check out the new library webpage, with its easily accessible link on the CMU homepage under “Stay Connected”. Included in the new page are an online Interlibrary Loan form, “Ask A Librarian” link, and some additional resource pages. If you have a subject web link or resource you would like added, please let me know.
Class instruction sessions are starting to wrap up. If you would like to schedule general or targeted instructions sessions for you students, just email us.
I had a good response to the library survey distributed in February. Thanks to everyone who took time to fill it out, and I will distribute the results, if anyone is interested. Several people mentioned interest in a faculty instruction session or forum on “What future libraries will look like”. I would be happy to provide either or both, depending on interest.
Also, I am planning on adding a library blog to the website, so in the future interested parties can keep up on new developments at the library, rather than my sending an email to everyone. I hope to have this up and running by the end of the week.
Finally, book orders are trickling in. If you sent in an order, I’ll send you a note (or grab you as you come in the library!) when the items have arrived and are ready to circulate.
That’s all for now. Have a great day!
