==>  BLOOD DRIVE TODAY IN THE LIBRARY

Old Dominion University's Hourly and Classified Employees Association

supplies in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.  The drive is being held today
(Tuesday, September 6) from 9-3 p.m. on the 4th floor of Perry Library.
All students, staff and faculty are encouraged to donate. The donation
process takes about one hour.

==>  SURF & TURF SESSIONS BEGIN THIS WEEK

     Turf: tour of the Library
          Thursdays, September 8 and 22 (2005)

Surf & Turf sessions are offered to Old Dominion University faculty, staff,
and students.  These brief sessions begin at 12:30 p.m.  There is no need
to register; interested persons should come to the lobby and meet the
librarian in front of the poster advertising the session. These sessions
are intended for interested individuals, not whole classes.

If you're a graduate research or teaching assistant and missed the workshop
Saturday, be sure to come to the library tomorrow (Wednesday, September 7)

of important library services, including how to: obtain materials requested
by your professor, obtain materials not owned by the library, charge
copying to the department or to grants, borrow materials in your
professor's name, place material on course reserve, contact the library for
the help you need.
