Addition of Computer Workstation

Have you noticed that we have added another computer workstation in the back shelving area of the library?

Most of you know that the library has multiple Mac and PC workstations, right?

Please be aware that we have moved one of the G5 Macintosh workstations into the library stacks. This workstation was one of the Mac workstations that used to be in the reading room hub.

Currently, this station is set up to be used for Internet Access, online research, or word processing & presentation preparation.

As you walk into the library shelving area you'll find the new workstation at the end of the 700s (Art books) and by the start of the 800's (Literature books).

Just as the other reading room workstations, this workstation is available on a first come first serve basis... please remember to sign-in your use at the front desk.

As we are able, we hope to add more and continue to upgrade the computers that are accessible in the library.

Happy 2008!

November Schedules & New Staff

I am enormously pleased to announce that Joe Shea has accepted the Art Library & Technology Assistant position recently vacated by Stephanie Johnson. Starting on Monday, November 5 he will join Shawn Robinson, Jerry Montoya and I to provide service at the Krieble Library. Joe will primarily be working to support our evening service hours.

Joseph has most recently been employed as a Production Assistant, where he archived, digitized, designed and performed layout duties. He holds both a Masters in Art Education & a Bachelors in Fine Arts (Painting). He has additional work experience as a teacher and graphic artist. Currently he is enrolled in the Library Technical Assistant (LTA) Certificate program at Three Rivers Community College. Joe's solid skills and background should fit extremely well to meet our campus and library service needs.
