Your opinion counts! Beginning October 17th, we will send emails to randomly-selected students, faculty, and staff providing a link to a library service quality survey called LibQual+. As we plan for the future of Olin Library, it is important that we understand the perceptions and expectations of our campus community so that we can provide the services and resources you need to be successful. By taking the time to respond to the survey, you will provide essential information for us. All respondents will receive a coupon for a drink from the Bookmark Café, and you will be entered in a drawing to win an exciting prize! We would greatly appreciate your help and we thank you in advance for your participation.
Interlibrary Loan Temporary Downtime
Our vendor will be performing an upgrade to our ILLiad hosted server scheduled between 2-4pm today, September 12, 2016. However, this time frame is flexible and it could happen slightly outside of this time window.
The interlibrary loan website will be down during this time.
We anticipate that the system will be unavailable for 30 minutes or less. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
Get ready for our second annual Banned Books Read-Out!
Harry Potter…The Bluest Eye…The Holy Bible…Fun Home… What do these books have in common? They’ve all made the American Library Association’s list of frequently challenged books. Chances are, many of your favorite books have made the list. Banning and challenging books has a long and sordid history, and the practice continues today. Every year, there are hundreds of attempts to remove books from the shelves of bookstores, libraries, and schools. Don’t close the book on your freedom to read! Fight censorship by reading from your favorite banned or challenged book during Rollins College’s second annual Banned Books Read-Out, Wednesday, September 28th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Olin Library front lawn. You’ll get a voucher for a free coffee or tea from the Bookmark Cafe if you read, or just stop by and support others and enjoy lemonade, cookies, and pizza. Visit Olin Library for more information on Banned Books Week 2016. We’ll see you there!
