Note to fall 2011 faculty and instructors

Please let me know how I can help you and your students. I is eager to assist students, faculty and teaching assistants individually, in groups or by producing useful customized web sites for specific courses or assignments. Please contact Ruth Lewis, rlewis@wustl.edu or 935-4819, to request and discuss such resources. They seem to be most useful when they are linked to a specific writing or research assignment, so please send me those assignments when available. Thank you.

Save the date: New faculty/graduate student reception, Olin Library, August 29

The annual reception and Olin Library tours for new faculty and graduate students will be held in Olin Library, Monday, August 29, in the late afternoon. This is a fun, large group activity. If you prefer a personal or small group tour at a more convenient time for your schedule, please contact me, rlewis@wustl.edu. I am very happy to arrange that also.

NIH Public Access Policy class, Sept. 7, at Medical Campus

An NIH Public Access Policy class will be offered Sept. 7, 10 am on the Medical Campus. Please preregister if you plan to attend. Details and registration. This is a very useful overview for all NIH-funded researchers or staff that assist them with their publications. Info about NIH Public Access Policy and compliance.
