It's that time of year again!  Professors and staff are preparing and students are groaning - yes, the Fall Semester is nearly here!  Don't forget to contact Mercer's Teresa Kan to place items on reserve, Bill Fleming for instruction and social sciences needs, and Victoria Shelton, for Bio/Life Sciences information.

Have you seen Mercer's new look?  From new stacks and expanded study space, to wall quotes and portraits, the 2004/2005 Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters have been busy as we work to better serve patrons.  Please drop in to take a look around, or inquire about a tour at the front desks.  Please note that Mercer Library has also upgraded reference carrel computers over the past year, and now offers wireless access.

Mercer Library is currently seeking part-time (8-10 hours per week maximum) Student Assistants with Federal Work Study awards for the Fall & Spring semesters.  Candidates should excel in communication and customer service skills and will support staff in shelving, shelf-reading, shifting, inventories, and special projects as needed.  Evening and weekend hours are required.  If you know of anyone who might be interested please contact Nicki Meacham via e-mail at ntroscla@gmu.edu.
