Thanks to all who participated in our Snapshot Day on Tuesday, April 20. We received many good comments, some interesting video interviews, and great photos. Stay tuned for the results.

Library Snapshot day is an initiative of ALA that, “provides a way for libraries of all types across a state, region, system or community to show what happens in a single day in their libraries." How many books are checked out? How many people receive help with research? How do users feel about the library?

If you missed the Copyright & Copywrong seminar, you can get information from the library Website under "Tutorials & "How-to"s." Click here.

From the "Visit the Libraries" page, you will find our most recent floor plans.

On Tuesday, April 20, the ODU Libraries will be participating in “VA Libraries Snapshot Day.” We will be collecting statistics, taking photos, and videotaping user opinions.

Our goal is to paint a complete picture of all of the services our library provides on any given day… in our case, on Tuesday, April 20th.
