Text book program needs your assistance

Issue date: 12/1/09 Section: SGA
With the end of the semester fast approaching and tests and finals imminent, the Student Government Association and the Jack R. Hunt Library are hoping to get some feedback from you. As many of you know, the school library does a great job of providing reading material and resources for our classes, and also provides some of the required textbooks for classes as references for students' use in the library. Unfortunately, not all textbooks are available. What the Student Government Association wants to find out is which textbooks the students want to have available.
Right now there is a relatively large selection of books available, and many students utilize this service. However, some students who do not have their own copy of the text still have trouble getting a hold of a copy, either because there is not one available, or another student is using it at the same time. Ultimately the SGA would like to compile a list of the texts which are in high demand and which ones students may be looking for without success. To find this information out, the SGA has placed a form at the circulation desk of the library where students can go to borrow a reference textbook. All we are asking is that while the librarian is retrieving your book for you, you fill out the title, which professor you have for the class, whether or not the book is available, and the date and time when you are asking for this book. Also, we are asking that if the book you asked for is not available, please write that on the form. Lastly, we ask that if you have gone earlier in the semester to borrow a textbook that the library did not have a copy of, please try to find time to go back and write the title of that book on the form.
As our list continues to grow, we can utilize the information recorded to try to better provide for the students' needs.
