This card would have come from the Library of Congress to our library where one of our previous staff would have typed the call number on a manual typewriter. I think they were supposed to be using red ink and the ribbon wasn't operating properly.

Panoramic digital print of the Vernon R. Alden Library in Athens, Ohio taken by Thomas R. Schiff with a Hulcherama 360 panoramic camera on May 24, 2009. The print is the three millionth item added to the Ohio University Libraries' collections, donated in commemoration of Alden Library's 40th Anniversary.
Thomas R. Schiff is a life-long Cincinnatian and a 1970 graduate of Ohio University. His professional life is in the insurance business but photography is his passion. Schiff has been shooting with the Hulcherama 360 panoramic camera since 1994. Four books of his unique photography have been published, including Panoramic Ohio and Vegas 360. His images are widely held in institutions across the country, including Ohio University's Kennedy Museum.
Decatur, IL: Staley Library, Millikin University. The student computer and research assistance area. In the morning, just a few students are busy on the computers. By later afternoon, all of these computers are usually filled up.
At Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan) for the excellent Re-think It 2015 Conference. Here are my pictures of the beautiful Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons that opened in 2013. This is a LEED Platinum building (the first I ever visited). From their site: "The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons is designed to be the intellectual heart of the Allendale Campus. It will exceed the expectations of anyone who thinks of a library solely as a home for printed books and whispered words. In this new library, students will find a range of environments, from noisy to quiet, in which they can work on an assignment alone or in a group; receive coaching from a peer consultant in research, writing, or presenting; practice a new skill or play with a new idea; learn something unexpectedly; engage easily with each other in spaces engineered to accommodate the sounds of natural conversation; or curl up by the fireplace in a contemplative space with the best views on campus. Students will do all of these things in a building that was crafted with their needs in mind—the right lighting, the right furniture, the right resources, the right services, the right spaces, and the right amount of flexibility. "Going to the library" will take on a whole new meaning as the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons becomes and integral part of every student's experience at Grand Valley."
The Austrian "Linux Weeks" (Linuxwochen) consist of a series of free lectures dealing with Linux (of course), but also with free and open source software in general. As there were lectures and workshops in the university I work on May 11 and 12, 2007, we currently display books about Linux, free flow of information and open source tools in the library.

The entire building is beautifully lit with lush surroundings and numerous windows.

the shelves hosting our reference section crashed. We have some doubts about opening the library for the public. Alas, the holidays start soon.
Nobody was hurt, but imagine all those books falling down on someone...

I visited the Evergreen State College Library on Wednesday, January 20th, to talk about Ask-WA with the librarians there.
I'm an alum, but don't get out to campus much, so it was nice to see some familiar sights (and plenty of change as well).

At our university, we have two study programmes called "international wine management" and "international wine marketing" so we decided to design a book display about "wine & water".
a bit messy during the "summer university" for children and young adults yesterday - I had to pose as an alien and answer questions for children in a chatroom when they were "hunting for information"

Registering a patron's laptop for the Ethernet.
Normally it's a quick and easy process, but this was a difficult one, and I had to call my supervisor (Jennifer Church) for help.

The Cofrin Library is an 8-story building at the heart of the UW-Green Bay campus. Campus administration offices occupy the 8th floor, while library administration, faculty offices and the Local History and Genealogy Collection are on the 7th floor. Floors 6, 5, 4, and 3 house the library and its various collections. Students enjoy studying and relaxing in the lobby areas of the library so that they can enjoy the beautiful views of campus and the waters of Green Bay.

11/08/2018 : Collegeville, MN, Saint John's University: Alcuin Library (Marcel Breuer, Hamilton P. Smith, 1967)
We laminated about 30 copies of this sign, and gave them to our Library Systems department to use when they are working on a computer. Students were actually removing the old black & white paper "out of order" signs and using computers that needed repairs! So we hope the language on this will deter them from doing that...
October 2004 version
This is first of five cards which list the extent of what else one could also see about this subject. This was typed by one of our staff on an electric typewriter.
Rather shiny library sign at Edinburgh University catching the autumn sun, seemed perfect for a B&W shot, so fired off a quick snap while the light was just so
As part of the campaign "Österreich liest" (Austria reads) with about 1500 events all over Austria, we invited twelve people to present their favourite books - teacher, librarian, student, press officer, pensioner, art manager, interior designer... (all of them are on the photo). Jakob Perschy, head of the provincial library of Burgenland, and me moderated the event, our boss from the university welcomed the guests. It was a really nice event with about forty guests, the room was nicely decorated, our local bookshop sold the books presented.
The woman on the photo is a teacher, Elke Perlaky-Reimann.
When the Information Commons department merged with the Media Resources department, we became Media & Computer Services -- but had to keep the old sign. So we offer media-type services from the Media Resources desk, and computer-type services from the west half of the Research & Information desk (because the R&I desk is located in the center of the computer area, and frankly the Media Resources desk is too small to handle any more staff or patrons.)
All signs at this desk created by Alexis or other MCS staff (not me.)

3 x 5" index card with type print and handwriting (pen and pencil); from card file of Ohio University's Chubb Library; "Marshall, Jane (top left corner); Phone 21954, Date Sept. 23 -'32 (top right); I, a student of Ohio University, request the privilege of using the Edwin Watts Chubb Library, and agree to abide by its regulations.; Name (signed) Jane Marshall; Address 41 Mill Street"

This form of information is getting older by the day - it's an uphill battle to keep it current and relevant for the library's users.
I made several of these signs in 2001 and laminated them, we still use them today. The ones for the black & white printers are basically the same.
In retrospect, I wish I had used a different font for the "We're sorry" part.
September 13, 2012: Bash in the Stacks 3 is Cofrin Library's annual welcome back party for students.
This year's event featured the Packers/Bears game, Nerf tag, crafts, tricycle races, sumo suits, Packers photo booth, trivia/raffle, games, face painting, chair massages, music/DJ, dancing, and food and drinks.
The event was sponsored by Cofrin Library, FOCUS, and Student Life. The Office of the Chancellor provided food and drinks.
