Latest From All Groups

At the University of Connecticut, we  have been building on the success of our main campus efforts to create a learning commons in the main library. Librarians at the regional campuses (5) have met with campus constituencies, polled the students through surveys and focus groups, done a literature review, and are forging ahead the best we can as circumstances (well, money) allow. Two of the campuses have opened up library space for the Writing Center and tutoring services; two others have done cross-training with their student workers with the Academic Center.

Hello! 

This is a very early announcement of MAGERT's upcoming program for ALA Annual 2010 in DC titled "GIS in EVERY Library:  Making it happen".  We're in the planning stages but look forward to our panelists telling the details of how GIS has happened in their libraries.  If you have any questions or would like to sponsor or partner with MAGERT on this program, do not hestitate to contact me!

Regards,

Tracey
MAGERT GeoTech Committee Chair

The members of AFSCME Local 3937 and Local 3801 (Technical, UMD) voted by majority to ratify the Tentative Agreement for 2009-2011.
The contract will be presented to the Regents for a vote. As there is no August Regents meeting, it is probable that this presentation will occur at the September meeting. That is the last step in the process.
