Did You Know?

Now You Do!

• LIS students are welcome to attend DLIS faculty meetings. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 5 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 501. Generally, the meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month. Contact Marcy Walls at mwalls@mail.sis.pitt.edu or call her at 412-624-9458 for dates, times, and locations.
   

• As Pitt students, 900 pages of free printing are available to us each semester at Hillman Library and other campus computing labs. This is very helpful to know for those times when the I.S. 8th Floor computer lab is closed, booked for a class, or otherwise unavailable! Computer labs are located in Benedum Hall, the Cathedral of Learning, David Lawrence Hall, Posvar Hall, Sutherland Hall, and Alumni Hall. For more information visit http://technology.pitt.edu/students/complabs.html.
   

• While we're on that technology topic, you should be aware that software is available at no or minimal charge to students, including the Student Toolkit CD and Microsoft Software (Office for Windows or Macintosh, and FrontPage). Students can pick up a copy of the Toolkit or Microsoft CD's at any campus computing lab upon presentation of a valid University ID.
   

• The Pitt Technology Help Desk is available around the clock. Call 412-624-HELP if you run into a technology boggle.
   

• Looking for a parking space before class should not be the most challenging part of your day! The First Baptist Church (on Bigelow between Ruskin and North Bellefield) has a parking lot that's as convenient as can be to the I.S. Building. Teris Parking is well lit 24-hours a day, and rates are as follows: $3 for 1 hour; $5 for 1 - 3 hours; $7 for 3 - 6 hours. This lot does not offer in/out privileges. Some proceeds benefit the church.
   

• Pitt holds several Survival Skills and Ethics Workshops each semester. Coming up on November 15, 2003, they are holding a session on JOB HUNTING, featuring information on preparing resumes, cover letters, and statements of interest; interviewing; and relocating. The workshops run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cost is $5 if paid before the day of the workshop, and $10 at the door. For further information on registering, visit http://www.survival.pitt.edu/.
