To be successful, though, it needs as broad a level of participation as possible. Disclosure forms will be sent to all new graduate students or can be picked up from the Geosciences Library. Completing a disclosure form is strictly voluntary and, if you have completed a form, you still are not obligated to turn over materials requested by someone else without a recall. If someone else does need materials that you have checked out, please be aware that you are still responsible for them until you check them back into the Library, so be careful. Materials are placed on reserve for Geological Sciences classes and for a few classes for other departments.
Tardiness results in a stiff fine.
Materials are placed on reserve either by the instructor or the assisting GTA and are filed under the instructor's name. Each year the Department is visited by numerous interviewing teams from industry and receives many announcements of academic and civil service openings in Geological Sciences. Announcements related to these recruiting activities are posted on the bulletin board one week before the scheduled interview date. Some interviewers are interested in talking to students whose graduation dates are two or three years away, or who are interested in summer jobs, as well as those who will be available by the end of the school year. Students who are even remotely interested in industrial employment, whether in exploration, production, or in industrial laboratories, or who may want only to gain insight into industrial employment opportunities are encouraged to arrange for appropriate interviews.
