March Recap
by Philina Richardson
Can you believe that it’s already April? As we gear up for the end of the semester and finals, let’s take a look at what happened in the last month:
Events
At this month’s Market Day, we displayed WFIT memorabilia in anticipation of WFIT’s upcoming 40th anniversary. E.J. Castor was the lucky winner of our Barnes & Noble gift card raffle.
If you missed our Sustainable Gardening lecture , or any of our other evening events, do not fret! You can catch event recordings on our after-hours page.
Don’t forget about our weekly Conversation Hours, every Wednesday at 5:30 in room 217. Drop by to practice your English, brush up on your conversation skills, or just to chat with some new people!
Our origami events were a blast. We’re still short of our goal for 1,000 cranes, so fold a crane the next time you’re passing through!
Updates
- You’ll notice 5 new computer workstations on the third floor. These aren’t just any new computers; each of these stations comes with ARC GIS software, ready for your use.
- We’re making changes to our Graduate research seminar, and working to bring the seminar to you. Contact your liaison, schedule a research consultation online, or view the archive.
- For our Twitter and Facebook followers: we made a small update to our pages. You can now find us at facebook.com/fitevanslibrary and twitter.com/fitevanslibrary. If you don’t follow our social media pages, well…what are you waiting for?
- We’re pleased to offer getAbstracts as our newest database.
- 6 iPads were just added to our Technology Lending program, available for 4 hour checkout periods within the library. In addition, three of our laptops may now be checked out for 24 hours!
