An O’Reilly book titleed “Head First Design Patterns” that is the required textbook for SE 311 (taught by Asst. Professor Yuanfang Cai) was just added to our Safari Books collection. It is very useful for understanding design patterns. It’s not in the Library’s main book catalog yet, but will be soon. To access it in Safari, you must log into the Safari Books database and search for it by title there.

Get in touch if you want other O’Reilly books added to Safari! We have a rotating collection of about 600 in there and update the collection just a few times a year. Between updates, your sugestions help to get the best ones added!

Six participants in this year’s Emerging Leaders program have been charged with creating or finding options for “rebranding the library profession in the digital world.” The Project KK group has crafted a survey intended to go out to as broad a spectrum of library professionals as possible to analyze current perceptions and future trends in librarianship.
