e-mail List

 

The Gemmill Engineering Library has a new opt-in e-mail list. The list, which sends 1-2 messages per month, provides news from the library about topics such as new resources, hours of service, library instruction, copyright and licensing of e-resources, and remote connection options. The list will also be used to gather feedback if the library faces budget cuts that impact collections or services. To keep informed on library issues, send the following message to listproc@lists.colorado.edu :
