May 14 to 20 is national Reading is Fun Week in the US. Growing a love for reading is especially important for kids; check the Reading is Fundamental website for some ideas to enliven the week. And take advantage of our growing Children’s Books collection in the PCC/USF Library (last shelves along the back wall).

Do you have time for another short survey? The Libraries are running a survey regarding SFX and e-journals. SFX is the tool we used to manage our subscriptions to electronic journals and databases.

I will be absent from the campus today. If you need immediate assistance, you can use the Ask-A-Librarian services or, for a short, factual question, use the PCC/USF Library.

Stressed out during finals week? Take a break!

Click on the link below and help out your USF Libraries by filling out a very brief survey regarding our website. We are going through a redesign process right now and your input will be invaluable as we continue our development efforts. The survey will take no more than 5 – 10 minutes of your time. Please note that the survey mostly covers the Virtual Library page at http://www.lib.usf.edu/index.html. But whether or not this is the main library page you use, we still value your answers.

Please fill out by May 12, 2006.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

The USF Libraries Internet services will be undergoing maintenance – an outage is scheduled for Friday, May 5, 2006, 5:45am. This will involve a total outage of the website and proxy service. Service is expected to be restored by 7:30am the same morning.

I will be absent from the campus today for meetings. If you need immediate assistance, you can use the Ask-A-Librarian services or, for a short, factual question, use the PCC/USF Library.

I will be attending the Florida Library Association Annual Conference this week. I will be absent from campus from Wednesday, April 19 to Friday, April 21st. I will back on Monday, April 24th.

For reference help with short, factual questions, you can reach the PCC/USF Library at 297-1042.
