TechServ and the Libraries is hosting a Google-Fu event
Thursday, February 23 from 6 to 8 PM at the Library Learning Terrace.

Urban Dictionary entry for Google-Fu:

1. The ability to quickly answer any given question using internet resources, such as a search engine

Example: “My google-fu is strong this morning.”

2. The ability to use Google with zen like prowess.

Example: “You couldn’t find it on the web? Dude….your google-fu is weak.”

Test your level of  Google-Fu with the game A Google a Day.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

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!

Thanks for your patience.
