Frost Byte, vol. 5, iss. 40

News
Jack Frost is definitely nipping at our noses, and there is snow on the peaks of the Front Range! Fall is a beautiful time of year!

The Glacier Photograph Collection has doubled in size! Since 2004, we've added about 1,000 to 2,000 images per year. This year, with the help of OPS students, we've actually doubled the number of images that we had at the end of January 2008. This brings the grand total to 9,834 images online! Many thanks to all who contribute to this project including, but not limited to, the NOAA team, I-Pin, and especially Michael Russell who has spent many hours on quality control and metadata for the digital images. And of course, we want to thank our funders, the NOAA Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP), and our contractor for the project HOV Services.

Last week, we displayed various configurations for ROCS’ logo and door sign, and we asked for your opinions. Thanks so much for your input, and as soon as we make the final decision, we will let you know.


Staff Report
Allaina is out of the office Monday and Tuesday. If you need to access archival materials, Gloria is available to help.

Reminders
Please don’t re-shelve the books you are perusing in the library. Just leave them on a shelf or in the return baskets, and we’ll put them up for you. This goes for the new acquisitions – journals and books too.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the candy basket!!!
