Lights Camera Action in the Library

This past Saturday and today the OSU-Tulsa library has been one of the sets for a motion picture that is shooting all over campus this week.

The movie entitled Find Me about a group of college students who uncover the possible location of the kidnapped adult son of a U.S. Senator while geocaching in Tulsa, OK. The students become embroiled in the kidnapping and must save the son to save themselves.

OSU-Tulsa American Studies graduate and writer/producer Joe Myers was very professional in working with the library staff and students today and we wish him and this film much success.

Thank you to all the students who were extra quiet in the library this morning and for changing their route into the library.

Learning New Things

On Fridays the library typically has a calmer feel to it....students are sparce, but focused. You may or may not have noticed that librarians are also sparce in numbers this Friday.

Why?

Professional development. This is how the librarian's stay informed and up to date in their knowlege.

The Oklahoma Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries is having their annual conference in Oklahoma City today at Rose State College. The topic that four of our librarians are learning: "How Secure is Your Security?Prevention, Planning, and Response in Your Library."

As student's graduate and begin their career of choice...professional involvement and development is crucial in staying competitive in today's job market. In the OSU-Tulsa librarian's case...its crucial to keep us up to date to help the students and the library function effectively.
