The latest batch of new books is on display, and will stay up through September 28, 2007.
Please stop by the library to see what we have added. Reserve a new book for checkout by writing your full name on a blue streamer and placing it in the book. (If there is already a streamer in the book, add your name to the list.) We will check requested books out to you when they rotate off display.

The University of Michigan Library has compiled a handout discussing strategies for using the Google Book Search. Located at http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/GoogleBooks.pdf, this handout will help users search for and find books of their interest.
Google Book Search is a collection of digitized books by Google and its partner libraries and publishers. You can search the full text of the books and learn where to buy or borrow them. Through Google you can view basic bibliographic information such as title, author, and length and sometimes more information including key terms, references from scholarly publications, and chapter titles. Depending upon copyright dates or publisher/rightsholder permission you may also be able to read the entire book online.
Google Book Search is located at: http://books.google.com

University library announces two changes
Andrea Lynn, Humanities Editor
217-333-2177; andreal@uiuc.edu
Released 8/1/07
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The University of Illinois Library is making two changes in its services – one temporary, the other permanent.
The temporary change: All campus libraries will be closed from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 10 (Friday). The closure will allow the library staff to complete various tasks in preparation for the new semester, which begins Aug. 22 (Wednesday). Scott Walter, associate university librarian for services, can respond to questions about the closure at swalter@uiuc.edu or 217-333-0318.
The permanent change: The Library has relocated its interlibrary loan pickups and returns site. Effective immediately, the central circulation desk on the second floor of the Library, 1408 W. Gregory Drive, Urbana, will serve as the interlibrary loan pickups and returns site. The old service point was 104A Library.
The site change will streamline the activities of interlibrary loan and document delivery by offering a central and convenient location for all services, including the management of the special handling of items such as film, fiche, multi-volume sets, building-use only and other exceptional formats.
The Library will continue to mail faculty items to those who have arranged for that option. There may be exceptions for items that cannot be delivered through campus mail.
For more information about this move contact Cherié Weible at cweible@uiuc.edu or 217-244-9907. For information about interlibrary loan and document delivery services go to http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/.
With more than 10 million volumes, the U. of I. Library is renowned for the depth and breadth of its collections, the expertise of its librarians and staff, and its innovative and cutting-edge services.
