Current News Form the HSU Library http://library.humboldt.edu/ HSU Library The Library recently installed hands-free sanitizer dispensers with alcohol-based hand cleaner in high traffic areas throughout the building. Studies have shown that frequent hand-washing greatly reduces the transmission of infection from one person to another. With flu season in full swing, everyone is encouraged to use these dispensers on a regular basis. http://library.humboldt.edu/newscurrent.html#310 2009-10-19 310 The Computer Help Desk in Library 120B is now open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. for walk-in, telephone (826-4357) and email (help@humboldt.edu) computer support. For additional information see Help Desk. http://library.humboldt.edu/newscurrent.html#294 2009-09-16 294 Effective June 30, 2009, the Copy Center on the second floor of the Library ceased operation. The Center has had declining revenue for years due to decreasing demand for photocopies (as a result of the shift from print to electronic access for periodical articles and course reserves) coupled with increasing personnel costs, and was no longer economically viable. The Library will continue to offer self-service photocopiers in their current locations on the first and second floors. Those wishing to have someone else make copies for them will need to do so elsewhere. The closest two photocopy facilities are at the ticket counter in the HSU Bookstore and at FedEx Kinko's in the northtown section of Arcata (on the other side of Highway 101 adjacent to the pedestrian foot bridge). In the near future, we will be providing additional information about copy services in the Library via our web page. http://library.humboldt.edu/newscurrent.html#282 2009-06-29 282
