Welcome to the first ever Access Services' blog post.
Our LibGuide has launched! It's still a work in progress so expect there to continue to be changes as we figure out what's the best format for us to bring to you all things related to Access Services.
As a reminder, this guide is private (i.e. not searchable from our public LibGuides page) so save the link!

Here are some updates across the Access Services' department.
The Video collection is back to regular operating hours, additionally the "team-video" slack channel has been revived and Lauren will be posting updates related to the collection every Thursday. So look for "#team-video" in Slack and subscribe!
Our Special Borrower's card recently got a "glow-up." Thanks to Anne and her Canva skills. Below is a comparison of the old card (top) with the new card (bottom).
In Stacks news, Summer is currently in the process of shelf reading the Mellon collection, with the help of a student she's made it through all of reference and 50% of the circulating collection. At Hunt, Gloria and her students are making serious progress with the journal weeding, having moved on from weeding the discards to weeding those destined for Offsite. So far they've processed 130 boxes of journals destined for Offsite, currently stacked and ready to move out.
Lastly, some updates regarding hours. Carnival is next week! Hunt and Sorrells will be reducing hours as follows: Thursday, April 11th 7:50/8:00am - 6pm and Friday, April 12th, 7:50/8:00am- 6:00pm/4:00pm. Regular hours resume Saturday, April 13th. And the end of the semester is nearly upon us! We will be once again extending our hours for Finals (at Hunt) starting April 20th until May 5th. Hours during this time will be Mon-Fri, 7:50am-3am, Sat., 10am-Midnight, Sun, noon-midnight.
And that's a wrap!
