A Year End Wrap-Up
For those of us who started this program last August, we have completed one regular academic year of classes. To celebrate that milestone, Bibliofile thought to include a brief snap-shot of what has happened in those intervening months.
Since September we have...
* had one bomb threat
* had one snow day
* had one evening of very annoying, malfunctioning fire alarms
* spent 15 days of our lives in class (4 classes X 3 hours per class X 15 weeks per semester... you don't really want to know the math, do you?)
* acquired 13 new computers on the eighth floor
* received about 600 applications to the program
* graduated the first cohort of FastTrack students
* lost a neighbor, Mr. Rogers
* lost seven astronauts over Texas
* entered into a war in Iraq
Since January we have...
* circulated 6550 books from the SIS library
* requested 99 books through ILL
* borrowed 54 books through PALCI
* visited the SIS library 5275 times
With thanks to Charity Leonette, who helped gather statistics.
