Farewell, Tim!
Come to the break room at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 28 to give Tim Zou your well wishes for his next adventure.
“LibGuides” Gets a Real Name
Do you call all soft drinks “Cokes?” and all tissues “Kleenex?” and all photocopies “Xeroxes?” We thought not. We’re finally getting around to giving our LibGuides something more descriptive than the brand name. Beginning in July, we’ll be updating our site to use the more helpful name, “Research Guides.”
“Research Guides” was the student choice in testing conducted by Michelle Gibeault this past spring. Also, we are 99% more likely to agree on the pronunciation of this term!
Look for the changes coming to a website near you this summer.
Free IFLA Webinar
“Design Thinking: The Role of Library Staff in Participatory Design” will be available for viewing at 1 p.m. July 6.
Project CERES
The University of Arkansas has received funding from CERES for another project – the digitization of Arkansas Extension Miscellaneous Publications. Way to go, Necia & team!
