Marzluft NEW FOOD and DRINK POLICY in the GGU UNIVERSITY LIBRARYThe library is pleased to announce that a new food and drink policy has been implemented in order to promote a friendly and inviting study space to all of our visitors.While food is not permitted in the library, library visitors are allowed to bring drinks in covered containers.We hope library visitors who enjoy beverages in the library will take care to avoid spills. In case of an accidental spill, visitors are invited to notify library staff (at Circulation or Reference Desk) so that it can be cleaned up as quickly as possible. We will have cleaning supplies to ensure easy cleanups.This policy is meant to promote a welcoming environment for research and study to the GGU community. Restrictions on the consumption of food and drink are necessary because their presence can potentially damage Library property. If not discarded properly, food and drink can invite pest infestation that can cause widespread damage to the Library's equipment and print collections.Please keep this in mind as you enjoy your covered drinks in the library and ask us if you have any questions or concerns.---S.

| With less than two months of summer remaining, you can be an active outdoors lover or armchair nature enthusiast with Bay Nature at www.baynature.com. Many articles from the quarterly magazine are available for free and the website provides a multitude of features, including links for camping info, a calendar of nature events in the San Francisco Bay Area and links relating to nature, ecology, and conservation. |
| The Ask the Naturalist feature from the magazine will provide you with answers to questions such as: "Why do mushrooms come in so many shapes and colors," "What is the difference between bird songs and bird calls?" and "Why are banana slugs so slimy?" A guide to spring wildflower viewing in the Bay Area looks like a colorful feature and who can resist a feature article entitled, "Speak of the Devil" in the July-September 2006 issue? |

COURSE RESERVES MADE EASY!
Downloads of course reserve materials from home or work is easy. All it takes is for a faculty member to send our Access Services Librarian, Gilles Poitras, a list of articles they wish to place on electronic reserve for their class.In most cases we link directly to the article in one of the databases the Library subscribes to. If the article is not in one of the databases we shall make a PDF file from a scanned copy of the article which can then be downloaded by students. However faculty should submit their lists in advance to ensure the required materials will be available in time for the specific class session. To download the articles the students must enter their name and ID number, an easy process. It is still possible to place items on reserve in print form if this is desired, however these days more and more faculty are choosing the electronic format.If you have questions please contact Gilles at gpoitras@ggu.edu---G. Poitras
