Library representatives met with Associated Students on October 20, 2010 to get their input on the future Library building. They provided us with a lot of very useful feedback and ideas. We’d also like to hear from you.
Let us know what types of services and spaces you’d like to see in the new library.
Also, let us know if you have come across something in another library that you think we should consider trying in our new library.
Enjoy this rare SF Giants clip from the San Francisco Bay Area TV Archive! Originally produced by KRON-TV news on April 14, 1958, it features a downtown tickertape parade welcoming the Giants to San Francisco for their first season after moving west from New York. It also includes scenes from their opening game at Seals Stadium, against the LA Dodgers. The clip was excerpted from a longer compilation of news highlights from 1958, which can be viewed in its entirety below, along with a number of other clips from the Archive related to Bay Area sports.

books have been banned and challenged by local school boards,
governments and religious leaders. Celebrate the freedom to read
September 26-October 3 by checking out and reading a banned book.
Effective Wednesday, June 24, 2009, HSS 101 has become a Library staff space. Please go to HSS 107 for the study space and services previously available in HSS 101.

The scanner is designed especially for scanning books and large format documents like music scores and art books. It scans from above which allows a better work flow for multiple page scans. The machine is being tested in the Library Annex I till June 30. Bring a usb drive to store your scans. Please help evaluate this machine by trying it out and using the evaluation form at the machine.
