MELISSA BEUOY JOINS THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Hello! I am Melissa Beuoy, the new Research Instruction Librarian at the University Library. I recently transferred to the University Library after nearly 2 years at the GGU Law Library. As the Instruction Librarian, I hope to work closely with many students and faculty to ensure that the library's resources are as easy for all to use as possible. I look forward to making in-class presentations on research strategy and database demonstrations. Also, I hope to meet many students at the reference desk as I truly enjoy helping people. If you see me at the desk, please feel free to ask questions, and I will do my best to help!
Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, hanging out with my cat, traveling, cooking, and of course, reading!
GETTING READY FOR THE FALL TERMThe University Library staff are here to help GGU faculty prepare for the best Fall Term ever! Course Development Support When you are developing curriculum guidance or planning a course, librarians can help you identify resources needed for the course, help you design research assignments for students, and place items from your reading list on print reserve or electronic reserve. We can also put the first chapter of your textbook on electronic reserve, so if students encounter delays in receiving textbooks they have ordered, they can access the first week's readings on electronic reserves. To arrange for material to be placed on reserve or electronic reserve, or for more information about reserves, please contact Gilles Poitras at gpoitras@ggu.edu or call 415-442-7256. Research and Reference Support for Your Students In the past, faculty have found that a research instruction session with students increases 1) student satisfaction with assignments, and 2) quality of student research - helping students be competitive academically and professionally. To arrange a research session for your class, please contact Melissa Beuoy at mbeuoy@ggu.edu. You and your students will be glad that you did!What else can we do to help? Please let us know! Send your suggestions to Janice Carter at jcarter@ggu.edu.

The University Library has increased the number of renewals for items which are checked out from two to three. This means as long as the due date has not passed you can renew online at https://library.ggu.edu:443/patroninfo~S0/ or by phone 415-442-7242, for up to three times.After that you need to return the item to the Library. We feel that three renewals will give students greater flexibility in using Library materials.If you find that an item you wish to use is checked out, simply ask the Circulation Desk at the above phone number to place a hold on the item. Items with holds can no longer be renewed. You will be notified when an item you have requested is returned and it will in turn be held for you.
The Update is a regular feature of the University Library's website. If you wish to be added to our mailing list, please contact The Update Editor. Suggestions and questions regarding the newsletter may also be directed to this address.Consultant: Janice Carter | 415-442-7248
