Library Assembly August 2014 (August 26, 2014 Meeting cancelled)

Departmental Announcements; in lieu of the regular August meeting

Wendy Batson, Branch Announcements:
In honor of the university’s 175th anniversary, we have a new display at Engineering with a timeline of College of Engineering events and information on the COE deans.

We also have a “Lego Lafferre” display showing the many additions to Lafferre Hall, which have given the building its reputation of being difficult to navigate.  Stop by to see it, or check out the announcement on our website.

Deb Ward, Health Sciences Library Announcements:
HSL Information Services librarians are busy with fall orientations.

Mandi Davis is no longer with the HSL. Her last day was August 1. Mandi is now working as an insurance agent for Farmer's Insurance. 

On August 28, the HSL Space Planning Committee received final drawings for renovation from Cyndi Curnutte. This meeting included Jim Cogswell and Matt Gaunt, because the drawings will be used to prepare for the capital campaign that is scheduled to begin in fall, 2015. It is important for us to stay on schedule in preparing the materials that will be needed, and while it may seem early to have the drawings ready a year in advance, we will need time to develop the necessary communications materials to promote the vision of what we are trying to achieve. 

Jack Batterson, Cataloging & Metadata
We are all working hard.
