Beth Roszkowski, Liaison Librarian, meeting with student.
Starting Tuesday, Feb 2, librarians Beth Roszkowski and Gretchen Reynolds will each be holding their own “office hours,” in order to reach out to students who may not have a chance to see them inside the library.
Gretchen Reynolds, ICAR/Social Work Librarian, has been available since last semester on Monday afternoons from 3:00 – 4:30pm in the Burton Library in the Truland Building. By placing herself within the primary ICAR building on campus, she is able to connect with students in a more comfortable environment.
Beth Roszkowski, Public Policy and Management Studies Librarian, will begin her office hours this week. Each Tuesday from 4:00 – 5:30pm, you can find Beth and a laptop ready to answer your questions on the 2nd floor of the Arlington Original Building. Bring your library-related questions on your way to or from class. It’s just that easy!
And as always, Beth and Gretchen are both available for individual meetings by appointment. Check out our new Consultations page for contact information.

The Spring 2010 semester is right around the corner and ACL is ready! Our regular semester hours have been posted, our instruction workshop Schedule is complete, and our spring newsletter is hot off the press.
We even have a new display to start off the semester! Since Jan. 17 is the anniversary of the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991, we thought the theme of Middle East Conflict would be suitable. What do you think?
As always, your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
Please remember that the library will be closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and will reopen at 9:00am on Tuesday, Jan. 19. Enjoy the weekend!!!

If you haven’t been to Arlington lately, you probably haven’t seen any of the progress that is being made on Founders Hall (Arlington II), the future home of Arlington Campus Library. However, there is an online webcam that has been watching over the construction since the beginning and we’ve also posted updates on the blog, for those who haven’t had the luxury of visiting the Arlington Campus in person.
The photo above shows how far the building has come since construction started about two years ago. The new library will occupy the 2nd and 3rd floors of Founders Hall and will have plenty of windows, as you can see from the artist renderings and floor plans. While the completion date is still a year or so away, we’re already planning for the new library space and will be welcoming your suggestions in the very near future.
For more details, check out the GMU Facilities’ Founders Hall page for a full project description.
