Do it Yourself E-Reserves
Would you like to be able to post articles to the libraries' E-reserves system yourself? The library still offers E-reserves services and this presentation is for those who would like to be able to do it yourself instead of bringing your articles to the library. We will go through the process step-by-step and show you how to post your own electronic files for your courses. We'll discuss authorization, adding courses and readings, organization of materials, copyright, and leave plenty of time for questions.
Two e-Reserves workshops have been scheduled for Wednesday, January 7th from 1-2, and on Friday, January 9th from 1-2.

Laserdisc players no more
Due to the high cost of maintenance and low use, Classroom Technology will no longer support the use of Laserdisc players in the classroom. The Kent Cooper Room currently has two functional Laserdisc playback machines for patron use. These machines must remain in the room.

Announcing the 2007 Gaming Census!
This is an annual survey done by Dr. Scott Nicholson, associate professor at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies, and is designed to collect information about gaming programs run in libraries in 2007. This can be any type of game (board, card, video, chess, puzzle) at any type of library (public, school, academic, or special). The focus is on gaming programs, where the libraries schedule an event of some type featuring games, and on gaming programs that were run sometime during the 2007 calendar year.
You can take this survey at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=64bf17n2mW5s4QdKL6ctxg_3d_3d
until the end of July.
Data from last year's census has been valuable in helping us to understand how libraries are using gaming and to get funding for other gaming programs. Adding data about your institution to our census will help us better understand how libraries are using data. You can see the publications that have used this data at http://gamelab.syr.edu/publications/ . The results from this survey will be presented at the 2008 Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium.
Questions? Contact Scott Nicholson at srnichol@syr.edu
