LIS continues to recognize the accomplishments of its staff. Each month we recognize one LIS staff member of the month, an LIS “crew” of the month, and one LIS student employee of the month. We welcome recommendations and nominations from all areas of the College. Whether you’ve received exceptional support for a specific project or you want to highlight consistent and reliable service, please take a moment and submit a nomination. Log in and share some details about why the staff member or group deserves recognition: go/nominate. Many thanks!

The Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference has ended, but books by the participating faculty, fellows, and special guests are now available for browsing at the Davis Family Library. Please feel free to stop by the Library lobby to borrow and enjoy these wonderful books. Recorded lectures and readings from the Conference are also available via the College’s iTunes U site.

Winter Term is (deep breath!) around the corner, and Library Reserves is beginning to process print, media, and electronic materials for course work. We’re happy to create lists of reserve materials used in past semesters for you, and we can also easily restore old EReserve pages — please let us know if these options will be helpful.

Materials that your students will need to access during the busy first week of term must be received before the holiday break. Please email the Reserves Department with requests and questions: libres@middlebury.edu.

Need a refresher on how to make reserve requests? Check out this quick tutorial. And please don’t hesitate to be in touch!
