TexShare is a collabortation between academic and public libraries that allows library card holders to check out materials from other libraries. It is like Inter Library Loan, but you do it yourself. This great because it really gives those doing research to head over to another university and check out their stacks. You have to register for the program though, so don’t just show up thinking you can get whatever you want before you are a member of the program.
It is easy to sign up and I believe it is free. You should be able to sign up at your local institution.
Taste of Diversity will be taking place again this year, with students, staff and faculty encouraged to bring their favorite dishes from around the world. TOD will be held on Nov. 11, 2009 from 11:00am – 1:00pm. It is in BV 1.338.
If you want to share a dish email Keith Pilger or stop by the Student Activities office on the downtown campus.
