I will again have office hours in Patrick Taylor in the fall. This semester I will be in the Smart Lab Conference room (2301 PT Hall) from 9-10:30 am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
I will also have access to the Patrick Taylor classroom 2145 every Wednesday from 12-2 pm during the fall semester. I plan to use this time to offer specific training sessions, either a general library overview with a focus on business resources, OR a specific topic to support class assignments. (These sessions will be scheduled by request and availability. Please contact me as far in advance as possible to schedule a session for your students.) For additional help please contact
Jo Ann Henson, the business reference librarian, or
make an appointment to see her.
