Got Demo?

If you ever need to perform a multimedia demo, the campus has several rooms that have built-in video, audio equipment and internet connections already set up and ready for use. Please call AV in Dwinelle at least one day before the demo to set up an appointment to pick up keys for the equipment locker.

For more information, check out the multimedia demo web page. This website has a picture of the rooms, explains how to use the equipment in the locker, and provides IP addresses in case you also need an internet connection.

The Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities Library Fellowship: An Overview
Friday February 25, 2000
8:30 am - 9:30 am
The Morrison Room Doe Library

Coffee and tea will be served

Speakers:
• Suzanne Calpestri, The George and Mary Foster Anthropology Library
• Gary Handman, Media Resource Center

• Elaine Tennant, Professor of German

The Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities sponsors an innovative Fellows program, which identifies a group of 12 Fellows each academic year. One of the twelve Fellows is selected from the Librarian Series. The fellowship includes an honorarium and the opportunity to participate in a lively intellectual conversation with a wide array of senior and junior faculty, as well as doctoral students who are working on their dissertations.

In recognition of the importance of cross-disciplinary dialogue, the fellowship is open to all librarians, including those with specialties that are not related to the Humanities.

Join your LAUC colleagues to learn about the Fellowship program, its purpose, value, and to have your questions answered about application procedures.

Space Planning Will Miss Mimi Chin

Mimi Chin, Space Planner for the Library, resigned from the Library Space Planning Group on January 24, 2000. She returned to a more peaceful work pace and environment in the large San Francisco-based architectural firm where she worked before her time with us. We wish her the best in her new office.

We have begun recruiting for a new space planner, but in the meantime the staffing shortage in the Space Planning Office presents an unavoidable delay in moving forward with certain projects. Cabinet is working now on setting implementation priorities for approved and budgeted projects.
