10,000 Books on Your Computer!
It's 3 a.m. and you can't sleep. You could do some work, but you didn't get to the Library to check out books on your subject.

If you have a computer with Internet, you have access to more than 10,000 books. Free!

Diane Gustafson is presenting a one-hour, hands-on introduction to electronic books on Friday, October 28, 2-3 p.m., in L244. Flex, hurdle, and educational incentive credit are available for faculty and staff.

Students are welcome, too! (Ask your instructor if you can get extra credit for this.)

But you must let Staff Development know you are coming! (If no one registered, the class might be cancelled and you would be disappointed.) Call ext. 5678.
