Friends News Moved to Library Notes
Information and news about the Friends of the UTA Libraries are now being published in Library Notes, the newsletter of the UTA library system. In the past, Friends news was reported in the Compass Rose because it was the only newsletter with an external focus produced in the libraries. That changed a few years ago. Library Notes is the library publication that has the widest circulation and focuses on the activities, services, and resources of all parts of the UTA Libraries. Friends' members will continue to receive both newsletters.
