Library Closed for July 4th Holiday….

June 30, 2008
Most libraries will be closed or partially closed next week due to the July 4th holiday.  The
Resnick Library will be closed Wednesday-Friday, which means no services will be available during those three days, and any reference questions posted to the library email may take a couple days to be responded to.  Any Interlibrary Loan requests will probably not be processed during the week.  It would be better to either wait to make an ILL request until the following week, July the 7th, or to have patience, since there will be a lag time in their request.  (cross-posted in VanckoHall)

Architecture Reading Room Models

During the first three weeks of the spring semester, students in Architectural Design II (ARCH240) were asked to design an Architecture Reading Room for the upper level of the Resnick Library.  The exercise resulted in some innovative concepts, including a rotating wall of shelves and an ‘outdoor’ cafe within the library. 

Currently featured are designs by students David Carr, Richard DeLuca, Robert Dillon, Nils Fredriksen, Jason Powell, and Kevin Selby.

Thanks to Michele Herrmann and her class for sharing these designs with the campus. 
Stop by during the month of March to check ‘em out!  -Pam

Stop by the library during the month of March to view student projects from Roshan Houshmand’s Art Appreciation class.  Featured are Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian and Persian miniatures, and calligraphy drawings.
