We’re back for Spring 2016 with a whole new look for our newsletter to match our whole new outlook for the year. We plan to spend a lot of 2016 digging into what Downtown Campus needs from us and how we can best meet those needs, so be prepared for us to pepper you with questions. In fact, beginning February 1st we’ll be willing to trade chocolates for a little feedback, so be sure to stay tuned for updates there.

It’s with both sadness and excitement that we report that one of our fabulous Library Assistants, Angela, will be moving on to another position with the College at a different campus. We’ll miss Angela’s creative spirit, though she has promised to leave us Library Groot to remember her by.

Our focus for the rest of this month is helping students get acclimated to Accudemia, the Library and Learning Commons’ check-in system. Students now swipe their student IDs when entering the LLC, which helps give us a better idea of what our traffic patterns are like and what our staffing needs may be. The data we gather is part of our big plans to improve our services, so please help us by encouraging students to swipe in!

February will see us celebrating Chinese New Year as well as asking you to break our hearts, so be sure to check back then. But until then, we’ll see you in the stacks!
