Quiet Week in the Library

In order to help our students do their best on their final exams, the library will be offering a quiet place for study during exam week, Monday, May 2nd through Saturday, May 7th.

Students, faculty, and staff are asked to remain quiet in the library during this week and turn off their cell phones before they enter the library. Headphones are available at the information desk for anyone wishing to listen to audio on their computers. Silence will be enforced in the table area, community room, and library lab. Students wishing to use the group study rooms are also asked to refrain from loud discussions and to close the door when studying with groups.

Thanks for Helping!

This year the library collected 518 items and $70 in cash as part of our annual “Food for Fines” fine-forgiveness campaign. These items were donated to Wooster’s People to People Ministries. Thank you to everyone who participated by taking care of their library fines throughout the month of March. A special thanks go to all of those people who contributed items even though they did not have any library fines. We appreciate everyone’s efforts to support this fantastic organization!

Plan Accordingly: Springboard will be down on Sunday

From Information Technology Services:

"Springboard, Exchange will be offline Sunday, March 13
On Sunday, March 13, from 1 to 9 p.m., Information Technology Services will perform an upgrade on one of UA's main storage systems. To perform this upgrade, some popular resources will be offline: Exchange, Springboard, Zipspace, Videomedia, departmental file (such as your H: drive) and printing.
This upgrade will enable us to keep up with the growing demands for storage space for things like online course content, streaming video content and providing new Web services."

Please keep in mind that this will reduce the time the library workshops are available to students before the deadline.  The deadline for all quizzes is Wednesday, March 16, 2011.
