Zaida D az reported that she and Lily Griner recently modified the Tour for a group of 30 executives from China that arrived early in February to the university. A graduate assistant at EPSL has been given the Tour on diskette in order to develop a version for that library. The Office of International Education Services will provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and the library will bring snacks. We are expecting about 100 students coming in and out during that hour and half, and the idea is to informally encourage the students to share their ideas and thoughts about their library experiences, questions, concerns, and issues, besides handing out informative brochures from the libraries, such as maps, directory of subject specialists, self-guided tours, etc. It would be great to have representatives from each subject teams for this occasion.
