Students this fall semester will see a new face and new Park Library. Barbara Semonche, the Park Librarian since its opening, retired over the summer, handing the reins to Stephanie Willen Brown. Also, on staff is Brian, an undergraduate politics/Econ major; Adam, a graduate student in library science; Cristina, a graduate student in photojournalism; and Karen, an undergraduate News-Editorial journalism major. We're happy to welcome Amanda, a graduate student in public relations, and Danielle, a undergraduate journalism major. We're all here to answer questions, inquiries and assist with research.
The Park Library has broken out of the shadow of its former self, advertising the newest books and news on Twitter, Facebook and Blog posts. We revamped our Web site and have included an IM feature for quick questions (see the side of this blog, or IM JoMCParkLib) . In other words, we are no longer just a traditional library inside the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill, we are a technologically-savvy network of E-journals, databases, web features as well a library full of books, newspapers, magazines and theses and dissertations.
Some new policies are also in place starting this fall. The Park library now allows drinks, food and cell phone usage -- keeping in mind that being respectful and reasonable with the above is an integral part of Library function.
So visit us Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
