Great Start to Fall Semester

Welcome to the Fall 2008 school semester. We are all excited to see familiar faces back for further studies and new students learning how to navigate the campus. We've already had hundreds of students walk through the library doors the first week of class.

The librarians are on duty and happy to help any student with questions about campus, computer access, and obtaining the right research materials and homework projects.

Speaking of homework, if you are reading this from home, your office or laptop across campus and don't know how to obtain the information your prof. is asking you to get or you have struggled for more than 30 minutes to find that information...be sure to come into the library for help.

Can you see a theme here? Help is here when you need it. The OSU-Tulsa library staff is committed to making your experience at the OSU-Tulsa campus enjoyable and educational.

One Week Countdown to School

The Fall semester at OSU-Tulsa starts 8/18/2008 and that means the library staff is finishing our preparations for the new semester.

So what are we doing to prepare?

This summer the staff has been attending and giving workshops, learning new technologies and staying current with the ever changing database world. The circulation staff has also been moving the books around to make room for more books.

We have been busy renewing those information resources that are critical for the success of our students. The librarians also review the materials that are currently in our collection and make changes as necessary. Mary Hujsak and Dona Davidson have been involved in updating our webpages to provide better and easier access points. We also prepare for faculty reserves.

The OSU-Tulsa staff is excited to start another semester and all of the work that we are doing to prepare for the new semester should pay off starting next Monday. Please come and visit the library this fall.
