Happy Fall to everyone in Philosophy,
I'm sure everyone is busy with the semester but I wanted to take a moment to update you on the department's current library collection budget status. There is a Free Balance of $1,621.79 remaining from the 2011-2012 allocation of $4,050.00. New faculty hires have a separate fund available to them for selecting books to be included in the library's General Collections. If you have any questions about how to order a book from the annual allocation or, if you are a new faculty member, how to order books from the new faculty acquisition budget, please feel free to contact me (gregw@mailbox.sc.edu) or Matt Kisner.
The library would like to assess faculty interest in e-books. Please take a moment to fill out the "Talk to us...." poll in this newsletter.
