Parkview Librarian Office Hours

My office hours at the Parkview Campus for Fall 2008 will be as follows:

Tuesday: 9am – Noon

Wednesday: 1:30-4:00

All office hours will be held in the new Engineering eLibrary space in the second floor study area, between B and C wing.

New Book Drop Box at Parkview

As part of our continuing efforts to better serve faculty, staff and students at the Parkview Engineering Campus, the University Libraries have installed a book deposit box for you to conveniently return your books from all of the campus libraries (Waldo, Education, Visual Resources, Video Library, Music and Dance). The Book Return Boxes are inside the College of Engineering building (main entrance lobby – along the wall between D-111 and D-114, to the left of the CEAS display case).

These boxes will be emptied by Library staff, Monday through Friday between 9:15 and 10 a.m. We will begin this program on Wednesday, September 3, 2008.

Please note: Items will be back-dated to the previous day when discharged (Tuesdays through Fridays). Monday’s deliveries will be back-dated to the previous Friday date. What this means, is that if you return something on the day it is due, this will be taken into account when that item is discharged the next day.
