With the newest version of WordPress, individual students, faculty, and classes can have their own custom blog. These are particularly useful for those looking to reach a wider audience than their classroom. E-portfolios, community study projects, internships, study abroad, and student research are all good examples. Blogs in each category will be demonstrated along with a quick how-to.

We are changing our borrowing policies and fines and fees structure to encourage our users to be responsible in sharing the library’s rich array of resources. However, we are also adding a second renewal to most of our borrowers profile types including Student and Faculty borrowers. So in effect, most borrowers will be able to keep materials out *except reserves* a third longer than before: one check out, two renewals. Don’t forget to renew online to prevent overdue fine from accruing.
