Cubberley Education Library will be having an open house on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 3 to 5 p.m.  Please come and join us in celebrating the renovation of the library.

RefWorks recently announced that alumni will have lifelong access to RefWorks as long as their university continues to subscribe.

Check out the new site for UC’s open access digital publishing service.

eScholarship (www.escholarship.org) launches a redesigned website October 19, with a substantial array of digital publishing services for the University of California scholarly community and a dynamic research platform for scholars worldwide.

Previously known as UC’s eScholarship Repository, the new eScholarship offers a robust scholarly publishing platform that enables departments, research units, publishing programs, and individual scholars associated with the University of California to have direct control over the creation and dissemination of the full range of their scholarship.

All the books and staff are back in Cubberley Library!  If you haven’t had a change to check things out yet, please stop by and see for yourself all of the changes.

Cubberley Library will move back to its newly refurbished quarters on the 2nd floor of the Graduate School of Education Building on Oct. 1.  We will be closed that day, but plan to reopen on Oct. 2.  Most of the collection will move up the following week.  Until then we continue to page items from the collection stored in the basement.  Come see us in Room 115 or send email to cubberley@stanford.edu.

We’re settling into Room 115.  We have

• Selected current periodicals and reference works
• Holds
• New books
• Two public computers and two Macs that are Stanford only
• Two scanners and a photocopy machine
• Comfortable seating
• Water–both hot and cold from Arrowhead

Though it might not look like it now that many of the tables have been removed and most of the books have been moved to the basement, Cubberley Library is still open.  We will be in the usual spot on the second floor through Friday, June 12.  We will be closed on Monday, but on Tuesday come find us in Room 115.  We will be able to go to the basement to get you the books you need.  If you need to browse the shelves, feel free to arrange for us to accompany you there.  The computers and photocopy machine are still here.  Let us know if you have any questions.

The movers have finished taking our books to the basement where they will stay until the retrofit is completed.  Until that time, just ask us for anything you need.  We will be closed June 13th-15th and will reopen in Room 115 on June 16th.
