Project Textbook is back! Help spread the word

December 28, 2015 by 1 Comment

Library_Project Textbook[1]
Project Textbook is up and running for winter quarter. Fall 2015 was very successful and we anticipate expanded participation as awareness grows.

We are working with Shoreline’s instructors as well as U-Bookstore to make available course materials for Winter 2016. These continue to act as a supplement, like a broad course reserves collection, that does not remove the responsibility for students to acquire their own materials in accordance with curricular requirements. We want to help them bridge the various obstacles that make it difficult to have access, especially in the quarter’s early weeks.

To that end, please help us spread the word to students as well as new faculty. That information is hugely beneficial when it comes from someone standing in front of a classroom, actual and virtual.

Director, Ray W Howard Library

Winter break campus closure signage and messaging

December 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment

During the winter break campus closure from Dec. 21-25, all campus building entrances will be locked. The following buildings will have closure signage on their entrance doors: 1000, PUB, FOSS (all levels), library, gym, theater and visual arts center. In addition, A-board signage is posted at all three gate entrances, the 5000 building parking lot area, the bus stop, the west side of campus and the gym area.

During the closure, the website will carry a prominent closure notice, social media will reinforce the closure and the main phone number, x4101, will also have a message.

All employees should please confirm that appropriate information is updated on recorded telephone greetings, out-of-office messages on departmental and individual staff telephone extensions, e-mail automatic replies, and visible door or counter signage where needed, to inform current and potential students and the community at large, about the campus closure from Dec. 21-25 in a variety of appropriate modes.

Thank you and please enjoy a safe and restful break next week and all the best of this holiday season!
