Librarian in Patrick Taylor on Wednesday afternoons

I will be in Patrick Taylor 2145 every Wednesday from 1-4 pm for the remainder of the fall 2008 semester.
My goal is to be available to the Business School community. Please let your students know that I welcome them to come by for any type of help that they may need from the library. Of course I would be delighted to have faculty members stop by as well, either with questions about our resources, suggestions for the library, or just to say hello. Feel free to bring me a cookie.
As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions as I strive to provide the best possible library services to the Business College.
