Beyond the Scavenger Hunt: Library Activities for All Occasions

The Clark College Assessment Committee and the Library Faculty invite you to this year's first Soup and Seminar. Join the librarians as they serve up plenty of ideas for research assignments, exercises and activities. You’ll also be invited to work hands-on during a virtual tour of Cannell Library’s newest online resources.

This idea-packed session is coming up on Tuesday, October 26, 2004 in Room 103 of Cannell Library. Lunch (compliments of the Assessment Committee) is from 12:00 - 12:15; the Seminar Presentation is from 12:15 - 1:00. Please RSVP to Rita Carey by 5:00pm Friday, October 22.

The staff in Circulation and Technical Services have been especially busy the past year ironing out all the intricacies of the library's new online system. The following staff have received upgrades to reflect their new responsibilities, and also to acknowledge the increased workload that has resulted from ever-expanding demand for library services. (Library use is still on the rise! During the week of October 4th, 11,907 people entered Cannell Library -- more than a 12% increase over Fall 2003 (10,580)!) Please join us in thanking the following staff for their dedication to student success.

Sally Demos (standing) and Susie Harding were each upgraded to Library Specialist I. Sally and Susan order and process the library's books (that's the simple description!) so timely and efficiently.

Gisele Propper joined the Circulation team as a Library Technician I. Gisele has been a student assistant in circulation since 1999, so she brings a lot of experience to her new position.

Rick Bartz was reallocated to Media Technician Senior. Rick is the go-to guy for lots of classroom media support, from setting up projectors and PCs to figuring out why the sound won't work.

Welcome, Susan Salisbury and Maureen Morasch

increased need for reference assistance
and classroom instruction.
