The Friends of the University of Colorado Libraries will hold its annual Information Day at Norlin Library on the CU-Boulder campus on Thursday, Jan. 10.
The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Center for British and Irish Studies on the fifth floor of the library. Information Day is free and open to the public and no reservations are required.
Jim Williams, dean of the CU Libraries, and Claudine Garby, president of the Friends, will welcome participants. Guests will view the exhibit titled "Selected Artists Books and Materials" in Special Collections and reference librarians also will provide training for Chinook and databases in the computer lab.
A light catered lunch will be served at noon. Immediately following the lunch break a program titled "Learning Commons: Transforming Learning and Scholarship" will be presented by reference librarians Jennifer Knievel and Caroline Sinkinson. They will give an overview of plans for the new learning commons area, reference area and east entrance courtyard at Norlin Library.
The purpose of Information Day is to inform citizens that Norlin Library is accessible to them and to familiarize people with how to use Norlin when remodeling projects begin in May 2008.
The event is co-sponsored by the Camera newspaper. Pay parking is available in the Euclid Avenue Autopark.
