Change in the air...

Look around and you'll notice some positive changes in the Library at the Greenspring Campus. Students in Dr. Bell's OCO class last semester asked for a media viewing room, and we luckily had a vacated office site that we could convert. We've also added some brightly-colored new signs to indicate what is where and, in particular, what to find on the second floor. Check it out!

Also new this semester: we are hosting two library interns. Marc Grossblatt, a recent SU graduate, and Mike Kiel who is just about to graduate with his Master of Library Science at UMCP. Marc is exploring the possibilities of a future career in librarianship, while Mike is gaining field experience prepatory to landing his first professional job. We're happy to have both Mike and Marc.

April is around the corner, and it is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month,a personal interest of mone. If you'd like to learn how you can help, I have a wonderful guide for you here. The guide, entitled Animal Welfare Advocacy: Web Sites to Educate and Inspire, presents the leading animal welfare organizations that have websites where you can locate quality information on this important topic. Enjoy!
