Harry Potter Series

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of books are now located in the library reserves area, main floor of the library. These titles will circulate for one week and have the option for a renewal.

Curriculum Textbooks

I have just finished weeding the curriculum textbook annex. With few exceptions, the textbooks available for use and evaluating are no more than six years old. ACRL's Guidelines for Curriculum Material Centers suggest this collection should be current, with items dated five years.

Textbooks removed from the curriculum collection will be available for students fall 2005 and spring 2006. Check in the IRC for current free selections beginning in late August.

It's here! Book six in the Harry Potters series has arrived:
