On Monday, August 22, 2011 the Libraries welcomed Liason Librarian for Media Arts and Design, Tom Ipri. Tom was most recently the Head of Media and Computer Services at UNLV’s Lied Library and before that, the Media Services Librarian at LaSalle University. Tom received his MLIS from Drexel and has published and presented on the topics of technology, media collections and transliteracy in libraries. The Libraries are excited to welcome Tom’s subject expertise in film, film studies and media arts. Tom works in room 135 in W. W. Hagerty Library.
Dorothy Ann Colflesh [Schwartz], Director of Administrative Services, passed away June 29, 2010. She earned two master degrees from Drexel, an MBA from the LeBow College of Business and an MLIS from the College of Information Science and Technologies. Her many friends and colleagues in the Libraries, where she worked for over eight years, remember her good humor and thoughtfulness which were especially appreciated during her service as Interim Director. She will be very much missed on campus.
The Libraries have established the Dorothy Colflesh [Schwartz] Memorial Collection of resources on “green” practices, reflecting such activities as recycling and waste reduction which were among her keen interests. Those wishing to contribute to this fund and bookplates to be designed in her memory, may send contributions [checks made out to "Drexel University"] to:

| Jay Bhatt congratulates Theresa Andrejack. |
Theresa Andrejack, a doctoral candidate in Civil Architectural and Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering, won an iPod Nano in the Knovel University Challenge by using the Knovel online engineering reference handbooks available through the Drexel University Libraries to answer the Challenge questions.
Congratulations, Theresa!
…our new Courtesy Clerk! Adam Mizelle is now here to help at Hagerty Library.
As you see him walking around, feel free to ask for his help. He can help find books, work the copiers, and more. He will also be enforcing library policies (food and drink, noise, etc.).
We are excited to welcome Adam to the Hagerty family.
Come learn Engineering Information Skills with our very own Jay Bhatt. Jay is the Engineering Librarian at Hagerty and will be speaking on Wednesday, October 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in 2020 MacAlister Hall at 33rd and Chestnut Streets.
This is a highly interactive workshop in which students will develop various engineering information-seeking skills using Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, RSS feeds, tagging, and Facebook. Students will explore a Web-based citation management software, Refworks, to create a collaborative bibliography for research papers or engineering design projects. Attendees should bring a laptop. Students who don’t have one may call Instructional Media Services at 215-895-2925 to reserve a laptop.
