We wish you all a very Happy New Year and look to seeing or hearing from you all in the library during 2009.
As we are always looking for ways to improve our services and access to information we are continuing to look for and to try out innovative tools.
We are about to update the library Internet links and plan to put them all on Delicious. If you are not familiar with this tool have a look at it Delicious. If you want to know how to use it we are planning on including a workshop on it in one of our future library sessions.
