In recognition of Black History Month, publisher Thomson Gale has launched a free Web site comprised of historical facts and figures, biographies, relevant Web links and lesson plans. This site is designed to help students, teachers and families celebrate the month. Access to lesson plans, biographies and quizzes are available. A list of titles that will help students gain a deeper appreciation for African-American heritage also is available, as is a timeline that takes visitors through nearly 400 years of black history.

It is my great pleasure and honor to announce that the new USF Lakeland Library will open on Monday, January 29th 2007. Our new space is located in LTB 1115, on the first floor of the new Lakeland Technology Building.

For many years, the Polk Community College Library has housed the USF collections and offered services to the USF students, staff and faculty; we do thank them for all their work and wish them the best for the future. During the week of January 22nd, the books, journals and A-V materials belonging to USF will be moved from the PCC Library to the new location. Please note that they won’t be available until the new library opens on the 29th.

To note, the USF Open Use Computer Lab is moving along with the Library to the same location, with more computer workstations. The Writing Center will be moving as well to the LTB.

Come and check out the new library! During the first two weeks, there will be giveaways and a book drawing. More details on the move will be available soon on the library’s website.

In observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr Day, the PCC/USF Library will be closed on Monday, January 15th. The library will reopen on Tuesday, the 16th at 8:00 AM.

USF Lakeland Associate Dean, Dr. Greg Paveza has received a 2006 American Journal of Nursing (AJN) Book of the Year Award for his co-edited Handbook of Geriatric Assessment (Joseph J. Gallo, Hillary R. Bogner, Terry Fulmer, and Gregory Paveza (Eds)).

The book is part of the USF collection at the PCC/USF Library. The call number is RC953 .G34 2006.

Monday, January 8th, I will be off campus for meetings. I will be back on Tuesday, January 9th.

If you need immediate assistance, you can contact the USF Tampa’s Ask-A-Librarian services or, for a short, factual question, use the PCC/USF Library.
