Reminder Regarding Library News Notes Submission
Here are a few policies and procedures regarding News Notes.
1. Items for News Notes should be submitted to me by noon on Thursday. Please let me know if you will have a late submission.
2. Please send completed items as you wish them to be posted in the blog. This saves time and confusion. If you would like help in composing your post or if you want me to edit the post, please let me know in advance of the submission deadline.
3. If you have images for your posts, please send them to me as a graphic file attached (not inserted in) to your e-mail.
4. Items must be work-related, but I do occasionally post personal announcements about staff members in a Staff Corner post.
5. If you have corrections to items in News Notes, please send them directly to me.
Thank you for your cooperation. Following these procedures will aid me in making sure that News Notes items are published quickly and accurately. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Finding the Best Study Space
We have spaces for everyone. If you prefer silence, check out rooms 201 and 202 in Ellis Library. Check out this Ellis Library floorplan to see all the quiet spots. Journalism also has four private personal study pods on the bottom floor that are first come, first served.
If you don’t prefer complete silence, try the Information Commons (the first floor of Ellis Library). Or the Bookmark Café on the ground floor for coffee and conversation. You can always take a look at the Ellis Library sensory map to find the best study space for you.
If it’s a group study spot you are searching for, try to reserve one of the group study rooms in either Ellis, Engineering, or Journalism. They can be reserved for up to two hours for each group. Some also have Solstice monitors to help groups studying together share information with one another. Whatever you need, make sure and plan ahead, as rooms fill up quickly! Currently, the Health Sciences Library is under renovation.
Remember, if your program has its own library, be sure to check out those spaces, as they are often designated specifically for you!
