Both the Dental and Isché Libraries will have altered schedules for carnival weekend and will be closed on Mardi Gras day; additionally, Dental will have reduced hours for days after Mardi Gras for Spring Break.
The hours are as follows:

Yesterday, the National Institutes of Health announced a new study which will follow tens of thousands of cleanup workers and volunteers who participated in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“The GuLF STUDY (Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study) is the largest health study of its kind ever conducted among cleanup workers and volunteers, and is one component of a comprehensive federal response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The study is being conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and is expected to last up to 10 years Many agencies, researchers, outside experts, as well as members of the local community, have provided input into how the study should be designed and implemented.” from the press release

Since late December, if you’ve ordered an article via ILLiad, the Library’s Interlibrary Loan service, you were in for a pleasant surprise…Electronic Delivery!
Articles are delivered as an PDF, which can then be saved or printed by the requestor. Posted articles are only available for 30 days and then are automatically deleted from the server.
The ILL staff is changing everyone’s preferred delivery method to electronic as they receive requests, but users can change their own by using the “Change User Information” link in the menu on the left hand side of the ILLiad Main Menu.
Remember not all materials may be delivered electronically: books, articles requiring a cash payment, materials with publisher restrictions.
The latest issue of the LibraryÔÇÖs Newsletter has been released. Archives of the newsletter are also available from 1998 to the present.

The Isché Library bookdrop has been moved from its normal position on the walkway (near the ATM machine) to inside the Resource Center Building on the 2nd floor, in between the Bookstore & the Credit Union. This move is temporary in preparation for the walkway re-surfacing over the Thanksgiving holidays. It will returned to its usual spot next week.
