End of this website, New beginning on Library Research Guide

There is good news and there is bad news...

The bad news first, I am discontinuing this website/blog. In order to better create a centralized location where library resources are at faculty's fingertips, as well as have a space where collection development information is easily accessible, I am going to focus my efforts on the Sociology Library Guide which is available here: http://guides.boisestate.edu/sociology

You will note there is a faculty tab which contains much of the same information present on this website.

So the good news is, you only need to go to the Sociology Library Guide for all your research and collection development needs. There will be one space that will have everything you need.

This space on Blogger has been a fun experiment.

If you have questions or concerns, as always let me know.

My "office hours" in the Sociology department

As part of outreach to students and faculty, I will be spending as "office hours" in the Sociology Department this semester.

Weds 2-3pm
Thurs 2-3pm

I will start next week on Weds 9/16.

I will have a laptop to answer questions and will set up shop in some place still to be determined. You might just see me wandering the halls!

If you see me, say hi!

New Semester!

The New semester starts soon. Please let me know how I can help out best with your research or instruction efforts. Things to be aware of:

If you need library instruction, you can request it online.

There is a new library catalog which allows you to search for books and articles. View it here.

There library has revamped the library faculty page. View it here.

Our library guide research pages are growning. View them here.
(let me know if you would like me to create one for your class.)

As always, I am available to help. Just let me know.
