UNM-Taos Library Newsletter Nov, 15 2011

This is the last bi-monthly newsletter for 2011 so therefore, we wanted to remind our readers that the primary focus has been to highlight the print subscriptions the UNM-Taos Library has available to read in-house, or check out and take home. There are approximately 50 titles to help you keep up with local news or global news, to help with homework or to curl up with by the fire at home.

It has been quite a year for YOUR community college library. We continue to provide that personal touch 67 hours a week to our patrons as well as taking on many projects to better serve our UNM-Taos students and faculty, and the community-at-large.

A big project was just completed by the small team of Ana Pacheco, assistant librarian, and Enrico Trujillo, library information specialist, with the help of Peter Callan with the Water Institute . The courtyard at the Civic Plaza Drive campus has been transformed with planters, benches, and a mural by George Chacón. We’ve all heard “It takes a village to...” and Ana, Enrico and Peter put that principle to work enlisting our locals who are on probation through the District Attorney’s office to perform their community service here on our campus, requesting some support from the UNM-Taos Student Government, bringing in the expertise from family members like Kevin McCourt and local nurseries in town, and even soliciting Mark Goldman’s dual credit blueprint reading and carpentry classes to design and build planter benches. It was a group effort that will have a positive effect on everyone who comes on campus for many years to come.

Another very positive project that is coming to fruition due to the efforts of just a few folks with lots of energy and enthusiasm is the transformation of the old bookstore space across from the campus café in Pueblo Hall at the Klauer campus. This space is currently being referred to as the Student Resource Center because as Pam Brody, director of Developmental Studies program and Academic Success area, states, “it serves the whole student”. This area will provide everything from a copy machine for student use to mentoring to assistance with online information. A satellite library area is situated in this new space as well as the H.E.L.P center and a WebCt tutor. We will have an official “opening” in the near future but stop in anytime to see how we can be of assistance.
