The Arts Lab is “closed for maintenance” this weekend.
A couple of students who’d intended to work on Dreamweaver in there today were mightily disappointed. We called over to the Chapman Learning Commons on the off chance that Dreamweaver has been installed on computers over there, but no luck.

Study carrels are available for reserve. Please direct students or faculty to the circulation desk.

Now that Gustav is almost over, Hannah is just getting started, and the federal election hasn’t yet been called, you may find yourself with nothing to stress about. If so, check out the Atlas of Shakemaps for Selected Global Earthquakes http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2008/1236 which offers maps and data on 5000 selected earthquakes.

There has been an ongoing discussion about computer access for students with disabilities which Karine Burger’s email to koedesk this weekend helped to revitalize. At the moment, patrons may be directed to the Crane Resource Centre Library located in Brock Hall or to the Disability Resource Centre . Peter has also contacted Rue who is currently investigating the issue. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

The Mita 1824 map & atlas copier, which photocopies in black & white at 18 x 24″, 11 x 17″ and 8.5 x 11″ has broken down again and is beyond repair, as parts are no longer available. If patrons request advice as to which copier(s) to use for oversized map and general photocopying, please direct them to the Xerox 3050 Engineering copier, located outside the door to room 217. This machine copies in black & white at same scale only (no reductions or enlargements) at a price of $2.10 per foot. (This price may be reduced soon.) It will not copy books as it is roll-fed. For oversized book and map copying in colour, with reduction and enlargement capability, refer patrons to the 11 x 17″ copier located in the 2nd floor copy room.
