It is July 31 already which means that the semester will begin in about a month. Time really flies. I was able to spend sometime this summer catching up with projects. I was able to weed older materials from the astronomy, physics and chemistry sections of the stacks. It was so depressing to see so many old and outdated books.
This summer we received several large donations. As I have said before in this blog the people who donate books have the best intentions. They don't want their materials to be placed in the trash. Most of the materials from donations are given away to students.
Here at NJIT as in most academic libraries, we are getting more electronic books. I had an experience with a professor who was quite frustrated since he could print out only a small number of pages from an electronic book.
That's it for now.
