Well summer it seems has come to a close and now it is back to class, clinical rotations, papers, projects and whatever else may come along. Regardless of what may happen, if there is some way I or anyone else here at the library come help please do not hesitate to ask. While the campus slowed down, there has been a lot going on at the library. Below you can read what some of those things are as well as what is going on at the library in the coming weeks that may be of some interest to you. Hope you had a great summer and I am sure I will see you around as I am seemingly always over at the School of Nursing for one thing or another. Office Hours at the School of Nursing - In Break Room
This semester I am going to try to make myself as available as possible in order to help as projects and papers come up. To increase my availability, I plan on at least being at the SON in the break room on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 am - 9:30 am, unless there is something I need to attend to that makes it imperative that I head to the library. I may be there at other times and on Wednesdays & Fridays but that is largely dependent on what I have on my schedule that day. Please don't hesitate to say hello if you see me and feel free to ask me any questions you may have. If those times don't work for you, shoot me an email (rebrown2@vcu.edu).
Construction/Renovations at TML - 2nd Floor:
Well if you have not been around much this summer, or classes and rotations have kept you busy you have missed all of the construction going on at the library. After completing the multimedia collaboration room this spring, the next area of the library that has been tackled has been the second floor which is finished and n the next couple of weeks the new furniture will arrive and be put in place. In the meantime there is other furniture which has been set up so that you can use the space. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and find the space one that will be great for studying. Below you can see some pictures of all that has been done and as you can see it is quite a change.
VCU Libraries School of Nursing Library Orientation ResourceAnother new resource I have developed and placed on the front page of the nursing research guide is a power point that has links, instructions and screen shots that will answer many questions you may have as you learn to use the library resources and services. For those of you who have been here awhile, you may also find it useful too so you may want to check it out. Over the next couple of months there will be changes made to the resource as I add videos and add sections. Any time I add something I will put a date beside the link to let you that it is a new version. If you should see anything wrong with the resource or feel I should add something specific, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Here is a link to the orientation resource, you just need to hit download - click here
