Final Grades and Thanks!

I will be e-mailing you individually with your final grade tonight (12/6).

I plan to post final grades in SeaNet on Monday, 12/10.

If you have any questions about any of your grades you must contact me PRIOR to 8 a.m. on 12/10.

It has been a pleasure being your teacher this semester. This fall 2012 class has been a joy! I wish you all the best of luck and don't forget to ask a librarian for help when you need it.

How to Find CDs

There was a question from the notecard activity on Tuesday about how to find CDs.

The easiest way to identify a CD is to go to "Find ..." - "Music & Audiobooks" in the top, left corner of the Randall Library website: http://library.uncw.edu/music_audiobooks. This allows you to search or browse.

Once you have a call number you'll go to the cabinets of CDs on the first floor of Randall Library. These are closest to the DVDs. You'll see call number ranges on the outside of each cabinet. Match your call number to the drawer that has your call number range. Keep in mind that sometimes CDs are missing so you can always ask for help at the Circulation Desk.

Info from Archives and Government Documents

1. Archives

When we visited our Archivist and asked her about the cost of parking tickets early in the university's history, she said that she didn't know but would find out. And she did!

She says, "The first mention of parking fees was in the 1963-1964 student handbook. The fee was 25 cents and it was refundable if plate was returned in good condition. The next year it went up to 30 cents."

You can see the student handbook from 1963/64 online: http://archive.org/details/studenthandbook196267wilm. Click on "Read Online" and enter search terms in “Search Inside.”
