Well spring has arrived and with it warmer temperatures and the advent of allergy season for some :).   While it is nice outside and the semester is quickly coming to an end, there are also papers to be written and assignments to be completed.  To that end, there are many classes and resources here at the library to help.  Since my last monthly entry, things here at the library are staying busy and I just wanted to call your attention to a couple of items that may be of interest to you.

The 2012 VCU Technology Fair is quickly coming up on the calendar.   It is an event that is co-sponsored by VCU Technology Services and the VCU Libraries.  The intent of the fair is to bring the latest in technology developments for the classroom, office and research to VCU.   One great enticement to come is that a new IPad will be given away each day along with the chance to be entered to a win a Dell Laptop based for attending the various workshops that will be held.
