USF in Lakeland Library

The Polk county fire marshal will be conducting tests on the fire alarms and strobes in the LAC and LLC buildings on Thursday April 26. The test will begin at 2:00p.m. and last approximately 1 hour. No news yet when testing will be conducted in the LTB building.

Yesterday it was noticed that the link to the Lakeland Library webpage from the “USF Libraries” tab in MyUSF/BlackBoard was sending users to the wrong URL. Library users will now be automatically forwarded to the correct URL and use the webpage as if they were on campus.

Last week, the annual conference of the Florida Library Association took place in Orlando. Yours truely, Catherine Lavallée-Welch, was a panelist on Thursday April 12th for a session organized by the Academic Section of FLA: “Information Literacy in Action: Florida Academic Libraries Share their Stories and Best Practices”.

I presented the Lakeland Library Services’ experiences and accomplishments so far with information literacy. Co-panelists were from USF Tampa, Florida International University, University of Central Florida and Florida State University.

From April 15th to the 21st, it’s National Library Week in the US. This year’s theme is Come together @your library.

And Tuesday, April 17th, is National Library Workers Day, so don’t forget to say “hi” to Amy, our Library Specialist.

I have the great pleasure of announcing the arrival of Amy VanMiddlesworth at the USF Lakeland Library. Amy is our new Library Specialist.

A Polk County native, Amy is also a USF alumni, having received a BA in Elementary Education and a Masters in Library Science. She worked as a Media Specialist and a Teacher in elementary, middle and high schools in Polk County.

In her new functions, Amy will take care of the circulation desk, the interlibrary loans and the maintenance of the stacks. You can phone her either at the LTB 1115 front desk (863-667-7817) or her direct line (863-667-7747). Her email address is avanmiddlesworth@lakeland.usf.edu.

We were very pleased to see the new USF Lakeland Library mentioned in the 2007 edition of the Guide to Polk, published by The Ledger this weekend (see the column on USF Lakeland, p77.).

We regretably have to correct a fact: the USFL Library at this point does not contain 27,880 volumes as cited. Our collection is comprised of some 4,800 books. We also have over 100 active subscriptions to scholarly journals and professional serial publications and about 40 scientific DVDs and videos. Our collection is still small but it is growing each week with new materials.

Of course, members of the USF community also have access to the resources of the whole USF Libraries system: some 2 million volumes and an extensive collection of electronic resources including approximately 6,500 e-journal subscriptions and 500 aggregator databases containing another 13,000 unique e-journal titles, 48,000 e-books, and 150,000 digital images. In addition, students have access to over 65,000 audio/visual materials including videos, CDs, and DVDs.

The USF Lakeland Library is currently seeking a Library Student Assistant. Duties include manning the circulation desk and offering basic orientation and assistance to library users.

Schedule is Saturday and some week day evening hours.

The full position announcement is also online. Don’t forget to fill the USF application form when applying.

The Library and the Open Use Computer Lab will be open at regular hours during the Spring Break week:
Monday – Thursday – 8am-9pm
Friday and Saturday – 8am-5pm
Sunday – closed
