Dear Sociology Faculty,
I hope everyone enjoyed reading our first newsletter and that everyone's semester is going well. As the school year steams ahead I would like to remind you that the University Libraries are here for any of your research and/or instructional support needs. These newsletters are meant to inform of you any new products and services the library may be adding as well as to remind you about the available tried and true ones.
Remember to send in your material requests to help us continually strengthen the sociology collection. We are also interested in your thoughts on ebooks in the collection - see the poll in the "Talk to us..." section. Our goal is provide a collection that meets your needs for teaching and research. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Brent Appling
Sociology Liaison
