Abbreviate Hours on Veterans Day

In observance of Veterans' Day, the library will be open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, November 12. The library will have regular hours on Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11.

Plasmas in the Library?!

In an effort to help keep students informed of world and national events as well as local activities, Gordon B. Olson Library has purchased two plasma screens to be used in the library. The first screen is mounted in the open study area by the government documents. Channels showing national and local news and weather are available for student viewing. The second screen is mounted behind the reference desk and runs a power point presentation that includes information on hours of operation, staff, and events going on in the library. A third screen will be mounted in the Union at a later date and will display the power point presentation.

Gnawed Log, We Hardly Knew Ya...

If you've been in the library lately, you will notice something missing. The Gnawed Log, the library coffee kiosk, closed a couple weeks ago. It was closed by the administration, citing poor sales as the reason for the closure. Despite a valiant attempt by its many supporters and hardcore coffee drinkers, the decision was made to close it. Students studying in the library will now need to go to the Union for their coffee and snack fix.

What do you think about the closing of the Gnawed Log? Please respond here or contact one of the library staff members and tell us what you think!
