YorkU Community Festival – May 9, 2009

The Scott Library’s reading room will have on display a model of the solar system as part of an installation later this summer on campus and an astronomy photo exhibit.  Photographs and memorabilia will be displayed in the reading room and the Atrium.

At Frost Library an exhibit hosted by Julie Drexler, Glendon Alumni in Print is on public view.

 

Further information regarding the festival is available at:

http://www.yorku50.ca/festival/

During the festival, library services will not be affected in any way.  If patrons are seeking quiet study space it is recommended they visit the SSH! room (Silent Study Hall) on the second floor of the Scott Library.  Alternatively, the Bronfman Business Library and Steacie Science and Engineering Library can also be used as quiet study areas.


New lab at Steacie almost done

A new computer and instruction lab is under construction at the Steacie Science and Engineering Library. It’s almost done, and we’ll post some pictures when it’s ready. It’ll be a “quiet” lab, so if the main floor gets a bit noisy you can go down there. The room will be open to students most of the time, except when it’s needed for teaching and instruction sessions by librarians or the Institute for Social Research.

There are lots of computers available in Steacie already, at all of the other libraries, and elsewhere on campus too.
