Turkey, Ham, dressing, sweet potato pie. Yum! USF can not wait for holidays and we know that SCAD can not either. Before  we leave for winter break, let’s help the community of Savannah to have a happy and full holiday this season. USF is hosting a food drive. We are collecting can and non-perishable food goods that will be donated to the Second Harvest of Coast Georgia. Donation bins can be found throughout SCAD residence halls: The Hive, O-house lobby, and Barnard village. If there is no bin in your location, feel free to drop your donations off at the Student Involvement office located at the Student Center.

We are extremely happy with how the meeting with Jen Library went! We discussed a number of things and ended with a proposal for extended library hours (cross your fingers)! Here are some notes about what we discussed:

-The addition of Wacom tablets and stylus check-out had been positive.

-Software has been improved in the building making it a good alternative place for students to work.

-The library stacks are being consolidated to make room for new additions to the collection.

-The major open houses have been successful and a fun way to make students aware of how the library can help them in their major studies.

-Online workshops have been added to the library website to help students in their research and aid in utilizing library resources.

-The”Food for Fines” and bookmark competition have been successful programs.

-Students should “like” and “follow” the Jen Library on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr!

-Jen Library hopes to create more short video tutorials to help students with their research!

-Furniture rearrangement might happen to help optimize the space for students.

-Quiet zones may be implemented so that students have areas they can work in without noise distractions.

This Friday USF will meet with SCAD libraries at Jen Library at 12 noon. Our speakers for this exciting meeting are Stephanie Raines, Access Services and Outreach Manager and Heather Cookman, Head of Reference. They will share with us some of the changes as well as future objectives for the libraries. We will bring to them the comments, questions, praises, and conerns, that the SCAD student body has give to our representatives and excutives.

Please join us for this awesome meeting. It will be a great opportunity for you to share.
