UChannel
As I was perusing the latest issue of Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, the following website caught my eye and I wanted to share it with all of you. It's call UChannel and is academically oriented, offering, "lectures, open panel discussions, and presentations by experts from universities the world over--all touching on some aspect of public or international affairs." Lectures can be streamlined for immediate use or downloaded for later use. Permission is granted to the user to add these lectures to their course guides, sites or computer. It's even possible (in many instances) to download in MP3 format. Podcast and RSS subscription feeds are available. All UChannel participating universities are responsible for content.

Goodbye Printed Word?
If you've noticed lately, many popular magazines are getting thinner and thinner. And no, it isn't because this is a slow news time of year. The Washington Post recently announced that Feb. 15th would be the last print version of "Book World", its Sunday stand-alone book review section. After Feb 15th, book reviews will be found in space inside two other sections of the paper.
Book World was one of the last remaining stand-alone book review sections in the country, along with The New York Times Book Review. The Post’s move comes as the company, like most other newspaper businesses across the country, has been hobbled by a protracted downturn in advertising.
On the heels of that announcement came the announcement from U.S. News & World Report that it would go to a monthly publication with a theme to each issue. Over the past year, the library staff has watched it go from a weekly to bi-monthly to monthly publication. U.S. News cites growth in it's companion digital site as justification for downsizing the rate of publication for the print version.
In March, U.S. News will have a weekly electronic publication available at no extra charge to it's subscribers. Additionally, it is doubling the length of time left on subscriptions.
Here in the library we will establish a link to this online print version. Stay tuned for details about accessing the publication in this manner. Given the nature of our economy and the increased online use of computers by consumers, my guess is that we are likely to see similar responses by other publishers.

Changes in the Basement
Over the winter break, Nadine and I worked on a major project in the basement to shift the curriculum library and reset the children's literature area in order to integrate the adolescent literature section.
The curriculum library is now located at the beginning the periodical section. It has had the shelves cleaned and disinfected and can now grow in the ample space it has been allocated. The shelving has also been adjusted to a more uniform configuration.
The collections comprising childrens literature and adolescent literature are in the process of being integrated/relabeled and a "new" collection title of YOUTH LITERATURE has been assigned. This new collection is moving into the space once shared by the childrens literature and will also have ample room to expand.
As one of the last phases of this project, labels will be placed on the shelving to assist students and faculty in finding materials.
