The Library offers personal help to library users in a number of ways–in-person at our reference service point; and by telephone, email, instant messaging, and individual appointment.  See Ask a Librarian for descriptions of these options.  We are considering renaming the reference service point to something like “Research Assistance” or “Research Help”.  What makes better sense to you? If you have an opinion please repond using the comment option.

I think it would be a good idea to not post announcements about library hours etc… on the sliding glass door at the entrance. It is very difficult to read these as the door slides open as soon as you are close enough to read it. Not only is it difficult to read but the door slides open and closed and one is left blocking the entrance. Perhaps a better and more accesible place would be on the window in between the entrance and exit doors

Thank you for your suggestion.  It is true that signs posted on the sliding doors do move.  They have been posted there as they are more visible and more likely viewed as they are right in your face, but it is true that it could be a hazard.  In the future signs will be posted on the stationary windows; however, there may be occasional exceptions.  If you happen to notice that you, indeed, don’t pay attention to signs on the stationary windows, we’d appreciate your letting us know.  Thank you again.  We appreciate feedback from patrons.
