In case you missed it, Dining Services is conducting a survey about campus food options. There are no specific questions about the food at Hagerty Library, but if you make it to the end you can fill in your own comments.

We’ve received a lot of commentary about food options in the Bookmark Café, so we know you’ve got something to say. Take a minute, fill out the survey, and get your voice heard. And don’t forget: you’ll be entered to win a Nintendo Wii!

Last Sunday’s Writing Center workshop, “Research Skills for Capstone Projects” has been rescheduled for this Sunday, November 15th at 3p.m.

If you’re an upper-level undergraduate or a masters student, this workshop will help you start thinking about how to shape your capstone project into something manageable and great.

Register for this and other upcoming workshops.

Maybe you’ve got a big pile of library fines and you need to borrow a laptop. Or maybe you left your Dragon card in your dorm, and you’re meeting your classmates in the library in 5 minutes.

Need a quick fix? Using someone else’s Dragon card is not the answer!

If you use someone else’s Dragon card, or if you let someone else use yours, you are misusing a card. This is a violation of Drexel’s Student Conduct and Community Standards, and you will get in serious trouble. Library-related misuse includes:

•    Using someone else’s Dragon card to enter Hagerty
•    Using your own card to swipe other people into Hagerty
•    Using someone else’s card to check out anything—laptops, books, DVDs, and course reserve materials included

If you’re thinking about using someone else’s card, or if a friend asks to borrow yours, don’t do it. You will both face having your cards confiscated or worse. Drexel library staff takes this very seriously, as does Public Safety and the Office of Student Conduct.

Please protect your ID and use it responsibly.

So you’ve got some overdue stuff from Hagerty library. Maybe you’ve been meaning to return it, but the longer you wait, the harder it is to face the circulation desk. We know it happens. It even happens to librarians (occasionally).

Bottom line: we want our stuff back more than we want you to suffer. That’s why we’re declaring Amnesty Day this Friday, September 25th for items borrowed from the Hagerty collection. Gather up your overdue books, DVDs, and other stuff, come in and face the desk. No questions, no dirty looks, and best of all, no fines.

You’ll be so glad you did–and so will we.

That crisp, cool air and new book smell can only mean one thing: it’s fall term! Hagerty library couldn’t be more excited, and we’ve got a bunch of new stuff to welcome you back like only a library can.

New look: Notice anything different about our website? We hope so because we’ve given it a face lift and added some new functions that we hope will make www.library.drexel.edu even more helpful. Keep checking here for new features as they’re added.

Café: The cafe took the summer off, but now it’s bigger and brighter than ever with new food options and the 24 hour access you’ve come to know and love. Got lunch? Eat it in the café. Looking for current periodicals? They’ve moved down to the library’s lower level with their back issue brethren.

Leisure Books: We’ve consolidated our reference section on the first floor and moved the leisure books into the old reference section. If you’re standing where the leisure books used to be, you’ll see them on the first set of shelves to your right as you look at the reference section. Come on by and browse for fun. We’ve still got lots of the latest hits.

Keep checking here for more news about fall changes at the library. We’ll have lots to tell in the coming days.
