Uncle! The Weather Wins!
Feb. 4 Friends of Library meeting
cancelled.
The Friends of
the Library meeting scheduled for Friday, Feb. 4, at
7:30pm in Central Library has been cancelled.
The speaker, Joe G. Bax, would have had to
drive to Arlington from near Huntsville, TX, and Friends
members would have had to drive from their homes and
navigate the icy campus from the parking garage to get
into the library for the meeting. Neither sounded like a
good prospect late on Wednesday afternoon when it was
announced that the University of Texas at Arlington
would be closed on Thursday, Feb. 3, for a third
consecutive day due to the frigid temperatures and icy
conditions.
Gerald Saxon, Dean of the UT Arlington Library,
announced this afternoon that he plans to reschedule
this speaker for later in the year.
Not all Friends members who receive our printed
invitations are on our email list yet, so if you know
someone who might regularly attends our meetings but
might not receive this email, please pass on the word,
to save them the trip on Friday. Thanks!

The Mavs Book Club
is a monthly book discussion group open to

The current year's book club titles are in place, but please provide your ideas for future readings. Send the title, author, description, and reason you are recommending it to Evelyn Barker
(ebarker@uta.edu), Diane Shepelwich
(dianec@uta.edu) or C.D. Walter
(cdwalter@uta.edu).

Did you miss the last Friends
meeting?
We send photos of our meetings
to the Star-Telegram for publication in the Friday
Click! section. It sometimes takes a couple of weeks for
photos to appear. On January 14, 2011 the photos ran
from the December Friends meeting. If you'd like to know
more about saving these photos or having the
Star-Telegram make a print for you, visit the
Library-Stuff blog where I described the process last
week.

Spring 2011 Friends of the
UTA Library meeting schedule (Feb. 4 meeting
has been cancelled.)
FRIENDS-UTA-LIBRARY mailing list
Subscribing to any of the university listserv lists is a simple process, but for those who want to keep it super simple, send a message to
dwyer@uta.edu and ask to be added to FRIENDS-UTA-LIBRARY.
If you want to subscribe, visit
https://listserv.uta.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A0=FRIENDS-UTA-LIBRARY and on the far right side, you'll see a link to Subscribe or Unsubscribe. Follow that, add your name and email address, and that's all you need to do.
You don't need to have a
LISTSERV.UTA.EDU password to join or leave the list, but the software recommends it if you belong to more than one listserv that is generated by this university. This allows you to manage all of your subscriptions at one time (and it's actually kind of interesting, the things you can do with listserv software).
It isn't necessary to be a member of
the Friends to join this mailing list. The list is
moderated, so a reply to any mailings goes to the list
owners, not back to the list.
Library-News newsletter
Library-News is another Library
e-newsletter that is sent to anyone interested in
subscribing. Typically subscribers are faculty, staff,
and library staff, and students. The readership
fluctuates, but it is intended to alert the campus
community to events, training, services, and changes in
the library. Not everything mentioned in there is open
to the general public; for example, logon is required to
use many of the library databases.
Visit here to see the Listserv archives for
Library-News. It is also a moderated newsletter that
you are welcome to subscribe to, with the only posts
being those sent by the editor.
Find the library on twitter and
facebook.
