Have you ever needed to use the scanner in the BL203 lab but there was a class using the lab? We have too. But fear not! There is now a scanner on the main floor of the library. It is located temporarily in one of the small rooms across from the Snack Room. Ask at the Circulation Desk if you need help finding it.
The scanner can convert documents and color images into bitmap, jpeg, tiff, and pdf files. These files can then be saved to a flash drive, saved to your P drive, or emailed to yourself.
Enjoy!

Attention Faculty!
Good news! We've created an entry form for new additions to the Faculty Scholarship Database. You can find out more by clicking How to Submit on the left navigation bar. When submitting entries, the form has a separate box for each type of publication, so make sure to scroll down to the type of publication you are submitting!
We will continue to accept vitae for those faculty/staff with several additions for the database. Faculty can email their publication information to their library liaisons as well.
If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Oleson or Stephanie Fridie.

News from the Stacks!
We've recently made some exciting changes here in Blackwell!
On the first floor, the Research/Instructional Services librarians worked very hard this summer to pare down our Reference Collection to the best and most useful titles. In doing so, we were able to take out two rows of shelving and add more seating space for students!
On the second floor, you may notice books have been moved up in the stacks. (What are "stacks," you ask? That's librarian jargon for the books you can check out!) We've been busy with a yearlong shifting project to move our collection. We started in the Z's and have worked our way up to the D's! New labels on the ends of rows tell you where things are at. Special thanks to all of the students who have gotten a workout moving books and also to the youth group from Allen Memorial Church who also volunteered their time and muscles to the effort!

Green Changes at the Library
Salisbury University is committed to providing sustainable services, and the library is too! Check out what all SU is doing here: http://www.salisbury.edu/president/sustainabilityinitiatives/index.html
Have you seen the new printers in the library? Beginning fall semester, you will be able to duplex print jobs. This means you’ll save paper by using both sides. Read up on how to use this service here: http://www.salisbury.edu/president/sustainabilityinitiatives/SU_double_sided_printing.pdf
Ever wanted to use the upstairs lab’s scanner, but a class was in session? A new scanner has been ordered for use on the main floor of the library! Soon you will be able to scan those articles instead of making a paper copy.
As always, recycling receptacles are available throughout the library.
If you see a way the library can improve its sustainability efforts, be sure to let us know on the Suggestion Board by the circulation desk!

Journey from the Land of No
The New Student Reader Program kicks off the 2009 academic year with 'Journey from the Land of No', a marvelous memoir by author Roya Hakakian.
"In Journey from the Land of No Roya Hakakian recalls her childhood and adolescence in prerevolutionary Iran with candor and verve. The result is a beautifully written coming-of-age story about one deeply intelligent and perceptive girl’s attempt to find an authentic voice of her own at a time of cultural closing and repression. Remarkably, she manages to re-create a time and place dominated by religious fanaticism, violence, and fear with an open heart and often with great humor."
More information about the book, the author, and the 2009 New Student Reader program - including information on a public talk by the author, book signings, an art/essay contest for incoming students, and much much more - can be found at www.salisbury.edu/library/newstudentreader
