Ohio University Libraries News and Events

The Friends of the Libraries of Ohio University are sponsoring the 15th annual reception for Ohio University Faculty & Staff Authors & Performers on Tuesday, April 26 beginning at 3:30 p.m. The program will be held in the Class of 1951 Lounge on the 4th floor of Alden Library.

“This is an event the Friends hold annually during April to recognize publicly and collectively the combined output of books and major performances of the faculty and staff,” states George Bain, Executive Secretary of the Friends. “At this year’s reception we will honor approximately 40 individuals.”

Associate Provost Martin Tuck will make brief remarks and present certificates to the honorees. Copies of many of the books and other items such as CDs will be on display, along with an exhibit of similar publications over the past century.

The event is supported by a donation from the Ohio University Credit Union. The program is open to the public. Refreshments and flute music will be provided.

The Friends of the Libraries of Ohio University, now a quarter century old, were established in 1979 to support the Libraries.

The University Libraries is participating in Project SAILS, a research project to measure undergraduate research skills, and your help is needed. Students who participate will access a 45 question online survey instrument, which requires about 20-25 minutes to complete. Students who complete the survey will be automatically entered in a drawing for one of 6 $50.00 bookstore gift certificates.

You will need the number on your student id card starting with “P” to log into the survey. Any undergraduate student can participate. The last day for completing the survey is June 3rd.
