The offices will be used temporarily by the administration and library staff while they need to vacate their own offices in order to accomodate the construction.

Antonia DiGregorio, Public Access Services Librarian, recently implemented the Document Delivery component of ILLiad (interlibrary loan).

Curt Friehs (Business Reference Librarian) is working on a book chapter for ALA Editions. His work focuses on a case study for middle-level managers adapting to change in the midst of library layoffs and a tight budget. Curt is also presenting a Business Database Workshop specificially designed for non-business majors in March. This workshop will help students locate business-related information using library databases. For instance, this will include ways to locate potential employers for a job search, evaluate investment opportunities, and learn possible strategies to contact corporate top brass as a consumer advocate.
