It's Show Time !
November 2011

Hello Faculty,

 

Here is the newsletter that I had previously told you about. Every month I will be sending out the list of new films that we have added to our collection with a short description and a link to the library catalog. If there is anything on the list you are interested in looking at, please feel free to e-mail me and let me know. I hope you find this newsletter useful in finding new films to use in your classes.

 

Looking at next semester, if any of you have films you would like to use that we do not already have in our collection now would be a good time to let me know so that I can have those films ordered and here before the Spring semester starts. If you have any requests for the spring please feel free to e-mail those requests to me at ajtrepa@mailbox.sc.edu.
