We are excited and pleased that our own Aubrey R. Watzek Library has been chosen by the Association of College and Research Libraries as the College Library Web Site of the Month for March 2007.

The New Additions list is now in living color, or at least the added thumbnail images of book jackets are. The list also sports links to Google Book Search, when available, which gives detailed information about the books, including sample pages.

For the spring 2007 semester, Watzek Library is unveiling a new course reserves public interface. This new system has some new improvements, including:

• fewer clicks to reserve readings
• RSS feeds for each course
• HTML code snippets that let students and faculty easily import an HTML table of a course's reserves into an external web page
• integration of audio reserves

We hope the new reserves system will improve and simplify your reserves experience. Please email Jeremy McWilliams if you have any feedback on the new reserves system.
