February 2012

 

I have enjoyed taking the recent Religious Studies faculty candidates around the library and seeing some of your faces.

 

February means we're getting close to the March 15th deadline for submitting requests for books and films. Of course, we will accept orders at any time, but this deadline has been established to give the library enough time to order, process, and pay before the end of the fiscal year. Please submit your orders by this time. Also, please let me know if there are areas of the collection that you see that need development.

 

I look forward to hearing from you, and good luck as the semester continues.

 

Sincerely,

Amber
