New Scanners in W. W. Hagerty Library

** Update – 4/26/12 – The trial for these scanners has expired and they are no longer available at W. W. Hagerty.

Have you noticed our new scanners in W. W. Hagerty Library? There are two new scanners and we’re trying them out to see what type we might purchase in the future.

Before we make that choice, we’d like to hear your thoughts about these two scanners.

1. If you used the scanner, which did you use, and how simple was it to use?

2. Do you prefer to scan (and have PDF) or copy (and have a printed version)?

Now’s your chance to influence what the Libraries might purchase.

The Library Learning Terrace is back in business!

The Library Learning Terrace is back open this week! Check out the hours, listed below:

Monday, August 8th – 10 AM – 10 PM
Tuesday, August 9th – 10 Am – 10 PM
Wednesday, August 10th – 10 AM – 10 PM
Thursday, August 11th – 10 AM – 10 PM
Friday, August 12th – 10 AM – 5 PM
Saturday, August 13th – Closed
Sunday, August 14th – 10 AM – 10 PM

There are a lot of great things in the Terrace: comfortable chairs, group spaces, individual spaces, whiteboards, and lots of windows. Everything is on wheels, so shift things around to accommodate your group, or create your own personal study nook.

…just remember, the same Libraries policies apply to the Terrace, so that means that you’ve got to leave your pizza, hoagie, Chinese food, burrito, etc. in the dining terrace. Snacks and bottled drinks are still OK!
