Hi there! New library staff member Heidi Huff, here, newly minted MLS from IUPUI.  And YES, that’s my real name (not some fictional character as someone suggested earlier today.) Currently, I’m commuting to Richmond from Indianapolis.  But in talking to all the students and staff members I’ve met this week I discovered that many, many of you are commuters too.  I’ve met some of you from Oxford and Greenfield and here and there in-between.  Don’t even get me started on how far Venus Williams would have to commute if she were driving back and forth to campus.

Items include a dressing gown, bible, ship manifest, and photographs. … Continued
Unique spaces to meet your learning needs

We’ve had a busy summer, re-designing and re-purposing library space to get maximum use and to create specialized areas focused on student needs.

If you need formal group study space, Hayes 101 is convenient for 10-12 students.  Prefer more informal space?  Try the Library Living Room on the 2nd floor, with its eclectic and comfortable décor, complete with bean bag chairs.  It is open for groups anytime a class is not scheduled to use it (the schedule is posted on the door). And if you need to spread out with your school projects, whether individually or as a group, … Continued
