Most of our computers now have the full version of Microsoft Word. The only exceptions are computers with scanners and those set up just to find reserves materials. So, finding a computer to use is much easier now!

The most reliable way to save your work is to use a USB thumb drive. We highly recommend this method, as it is the best way to protect yourself from losing your work. Also, if a computer loses power or has to be rebooted anything that is saved to our computers will be lost.

The UC Santa Barbara Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of a significant collection of aerial photographs from Whittier College. These 750,000 photographs taken between 1927 and 1965 originate from Fairchild Aerial Surveys. They offer a rich portrait of Southern California from the Great Depression through World War II to the post-War population explosion, and include photographs from around the world.

The UCSB Library invites you to learn more about its upcoming building addition and renovation, one of the largest construction projects this campus has seen for many years. We are hosting a series of 50-minute information sessions that will include a brief presentation followed by ample time for Q&A. Bring your questions! Optional walking tours will follow the information sessions.

Congratulations to the Dewey Decimators -- Mark Hartell, Jane Faulkner, Liz Rodriguez, and Mayra Segovia -- for winning first place on behalf of the Library at the United Way Tricycle Race earlier this week!
