How "walkable" is your home?

Walk the line: A new Web site provides the walkability of homes and apartments, by looking at the distance to nearby grocery stores, schools, churches, movie theaters and other attractions. WalkScore.com calculates the proximity and assigns a score for the address, based on a scale of 0 to 100. The site notes that living in a walkable neighborhood is good for your health and the environment. (from the Baton Rouge Business report online 1/25/08

Library Instruction support for Business Students


Please remember that I am available to come to your classes and speak with your students about library resources. I can take as little as 10-15 minutes to introduce myself and cover library basics, or as much as an entire class session to give in-depth instruction. Please let me know how I can help you to help your students.

I will also be visiting Patrick Taylor on a regular basis. If your students want to meet with me there please have them contact me for an appointment.

(I am still working out the perfect meeting place {any room with a computer would do} and I’m open to suggestions.)

Finally, your students may be interested in a brief Business Resources page that I put together specifically for students.

I hope that this page, along with the business resources website below and updated information on my blog ( http://lsulibrariesbus.blogspot.com/ ) will give them the tools that they need to succeed in their research.
