Are You All In?

Electronic Resources & Libraries Virtual Conference
Several sessions from the ER&L Virtual Conference will be streamed live April 3-5. Sessions will be hosted in room 472B. All are welcome to attend. Additional content not streamed will be recorded and available at a later date. The Serials Team plans to schedule weekly webinars to view additional sessions throughout the year. More information will be forthcoming when those are scheduled.
Where the Wild Things Are
We have Argyle Day in November, but the spring semester seems sadly void of random, half-made-up holidays. To fix this problem, Kathleen Lehman and Katherine Williams of the User Service Department would like to invite our library colleagues to join us in wearing animal-themed attire on Wednesday, April 26! Got a shirt with zebras? Wear it! How about socks with cats (who doesn’t)? Wear ‘em! We’ll plan on taking an animal celebratory group picture in the West Lobby at 1:30 p.m. (time subject to change).
Staff Out for Innovative Users Group Meeting
Several library staff members will be attending the Innovative Users Group the first week in April. Dylan Hurd, Sherryl Faulkner-Robinson, Beth Juhl and Elaine Roser will be away from Saturday, April 1 – Thursday, April 5. During that time, please:
- Use the IT log to issues: http://libraries.uark.edu/systems/problemviewall.asp
- Or report eresources problems and questions using our System Status page: http://uark.libanswers.com/techservices
- Or Email the web team directly at libweb@uark.edu
Thanks and apologies in advance for any delays in responding. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Shout Out (n.) Informal. A message of congratulation, support, or appreciation.
Kelsey Lovewell Lippard gives a shout out to Jeff Banks, who served as a panelist during today’s Women on Campus event. He gave an excellent presentation with personal anecdotes and professional advice that was well-received. Way to go, Jeff!
