Here we are again!
Halloween is this weekend, and Homecoming is in full swing. Alumni are visible all around campus, and students have been getting down with their school-spirited selves all week.
And what's the Library been up to?
I'll admit that the blogging has slackened as of late. Making vlogs can be time-consuming, and doing them on a regular schedule puts me in "Whew, done with that for the week" mode, which is good because I'm a busy fella, but bad because then you aren't updated on the Library!
Now that Halloween is nearly here and the October book reviews are over, it's time to shift our focus once again. No vlogs for a week or two, just to get me back into the writing groove.
First and foremost, I feel it's important to let you all know: The Library will have another Bookmobile on Tuesday, Nov. 2, in the Student Academic Center's MarketPlace from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Books and movies will be available for checkout to all current Gallaudet students, staff, and faculty members.
In general, though, it's been a busy week for everyone! Come on by if you need any of the following:
quiet study space
group study space
fun videos
serious videos
serious books
fun books
tons of e-resources
help from knowledgeable staff
libguides to lead you through finding info on specific subjects
And this week ... candy. We'll be giving out the sweet stuff today for trick-or-treaters on campus; if you've got a little monster (preferably your own), bring him or her on by and stoke the flames of sugar addiction! Just remember: None of us are1 very good at babysitting, so keep a close eye on the little ones!
Next week will represent a return to our long-interrupted programming: I'll show you all the little shortcuts to our electronic resources that you can find on our home page. It'll be a good read!
1 Although the word "none" is itself singular, the plural sense (e.g., "none of these persons or things") accepts "are"; "is" is generally used in the singular sense (e.g., "of all my books, not one has a single dog-ear"). This has been true since the 9th Century. So there, would-be grammar sticklers. Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/none
