News
We want to thank everyone who has returned library materials! We know that it is hard for some of you to let go of the books and reprints, but it is just for a short period of time. Tomorrow, we hope to have everything on the shelves and continue with the shifting of items to make more room. We will let you know when we are done, so you can run to the library and grab those books!

Congratulations to all of our graduating (now graduated) students! As an FYI, Kristin is now a temp employee for the library (not a student employee)! She will be helping us this summer until she starts classes in the fall at DU Library School.

The test scans of the Austin Post (Ice and Climate Project) USGS photograph collection on microfilm have been positive. All of the remaining microfilm reels have been received by our contractor for the digitization project. We will keep you posted as to the progress of this next phase of the Glacier Photograph Collection.

And speaking of our contractor, HOV Services representatives visited NSIDC last week. John
Jacobs (R), our primary contact for the digitization projects, and John Smiraglia (L), toured the library, analog archives, and were very impressed with the tour of the server room. (Thanks to Rich for the impromptu tour!)

Staff Report
Allaina will be out Thursday, May 15th and also Monday (19th) and Tuesday (20th).

Reminder
