The USFL Library’s official opening took place on Monday, February 26th.
A nice crowd gathered to visit the library, browse the new USFL Faculty Publications Special Collection and listen to our two distinguished guests, Dr Judith Ponticell, Associate VP Academic Affairs of USFL and Dr Derrie Perez, Dean, University Library System. We also proceeded with the first official book loan with Ms Kristen Dailey, USFL SGA President.
The video of the event is now available online for your viewing (wmv file ; 00:14:14). Pictures have been uploaded in the gallery.
The winner of our book drawing at the beginning of February is Dr Cynthia Patterson, Assistant Professor of English in the Arts and Sciences Division of USFL. Dr Patterson won a signed copy of the University of South Florida – The First Fifty Years. She received her prize during the Library’s official opening event. Congratulations and happy reading!
All parts of ScienceDirect will be down tomorrow, Saturday March 3rd, including the linking gateway software. ScienceDirect is the platform for commercial publisher Elsevier’s electronic journals.
Users will see a message that the system is temporarily down. The outage will start at 6:30 AM EST and last approximately 9 hours.
In addition to The Lakeland Ledger and the Polk County Democrat, the USF Lakeland Library now receives the Tampa Tribune daily. All are available at the front desk for your perusal.
The USF Lakeland Library will have an official opening ceremony on Monday, February 26th at 3:15. In conjunction with the Lakeland Technology Building dedication, this short ceremony will feature the first official loan and the unveiling of the library’s first Special Collection. Special guests are Dr Derrie Perez, Dean of the Libraries; Dr Judith Ponticell, USFL Associate Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Kristen Dailey, USFL SGA President. Visitors can then tour the Library and Open Use Lab. We hope to see you there!
The Association of Research Library recently published a free brochure aimed at faculty members and Teaching Assistants dealing with copyright issues. Among the topics covered in the brochure are: fair use, the advantage of linking to instead of copying works, and special provisions for displaying or performing works in classes. The brochure also includes a one-page chart that highlights 24 situations when various categories of works can be used.
The brochure, Know Your Copy Rights—What You Can Do, is available on the Web in color and b/w formats (direct link is to the color version).
Merilyn Burke, the Associate Director of Access & Media Services at the Tampa Library, is the USF Libraries expert on copyright. Don’t hesitate to contact her if you have any questions at 974-4561 or MBurke@lib.usf.edu.
The daily newspaper Lakeland Ledger is now available for in-house perusal at the USF Library. You can find it at the front desk. Issues will be kept for two weeks before being discarded.
Here is a list of new books available at the USF Library. Please take note as to where they will be located:
- the new books in the general collection, the professional development collection and the children’s books collection will be housed in the “New Books” stacks. This stack, awaiting the installation of additional shelving, will be found back-to-back to the Children’s Books stack, near the librarian’s office. The items will be shelved in their permanent stacks as new books arrive.
- the new reference books will be shelved immediately in the Reference section.
- the new audio-visual items will be shelved immediately at the front desk. Please note that USF Lakeland students can borrow A/V materials for one week, like USF faculty and staff members.
