Changes are happening among the Science and Engineering Libraries (again!). Attend this concierge session to learn about the changes that just occurred affecting the Mathematics & Statistics Library and the Biology Library and the overall planning for the Summer 2016 opening of the combined science library (Mathematics & Statistics, Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering) in the "Old Chem" building.
Collectors, bibliophiles, and of course librarians are eagerly awaiting the annual antiquarian book fairs in February. This year, the San Francisco Antiquarian Book, Print, and Paper Fair takes place on February 1-2 at a new location, the Fort Mason Festival Pavilion.
During the fall of 2013, Stanford University Libraries (SUL) convened a working group to investigate the current state of access to audio and moving image materials held within its various collections, notably rare materials within its different special collections departments, along with those held at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives.
Following many weeks of investigation, the Media Access Working Group (MAWG) produced a report in December 2013 outlining its findings, along with various recommendations to help tackle the issues discovered. The group considered issues relating to use cases, copyright status, available technologies – including media streaming, and content usage.
Linda Yamamoto has resigned her position at Stanford, effective January 31, 2014. Linda has been with SUL for over 15 years and has contributed both professionally and personally.
Most recently, Linda has managed the closure of the Math and Statistics Library and its transition to Herrin Hall. Linda's support of the SERG "First Friday Group" has provided the means for many of us to become more acquainted with our colleagues. We will miss her collegiality and her contributions.
