The Library staff is organizing a Student Library Advisory Council in an effort to better meet the needs of our students. We propose to invite four members of each class to serve on the council and to meet three times a semester. Our goal will be to discuss services, space, our web presence, and other topics brought to us by the council members. If you are interested in serving please contact Judy Stinson, Head Information Services, 458-8544 or stinsonj@wlu.edu.

Facebook (no, not that one) Exhibit
To celebrate the arrival of the new law class, the archives has tacked up (don’t worry; these are not originals) a display on the history of the law school’s “Facebooks.” There is even a contest explained in the last case. Prizes include favors from the archives and $10 iTune gift cards. The display cases are across from the moot court jury room.
