Looking Ahead to Fall 2009
It’s never too early to start planning for fall semester!
• Course reserve requests for print or e-reserves should
be submitted 3-7 days before they are needed. Keep in
mind that the first couple of weeks of class are usually
very busy times for reserves. Contact Helen Ulrich,
Architecture Library Coordinator (HUlrich@bsu.edu,
5-5857) or stop by the library to request items for
course reserves.
• Books and materials ordered for the library collection
typically require 6-8 weeks for processing. Send Amy
Trendler (AETrendler@bsu.edu, 5-5858) requests for
library materials now to insure they will be available in
time for the fall.
