Greetings from the Dean of Libraries

On behalf of everyone at Briggs Library, welcome to the 2009/2010 fall and spring semesters. I especially want to send greetings to students, faculty, and staff who are recent arrivals to SDSU.  Not long ago I also was new to the Jackrabbit community.   In July 2007 I traded the University of Colorado at Denver for the smaller but equally challenging world of Brookings and SDSU. 

If you haven’t visited your library recently, you’ll find many improvements when you enter our doors this year—whether the doorways are on our building or on our web pages.   These include . . .

• more print and electronic resources
• reference, reserves, and checkout services consolidated into a single desk
• a recent fiction reading area
• friendlier library web pages
• a coffee and snack cafe
• and ILLiad, an easy way to borrow materials from other libraries. 

For 2009/2010 we’ll continue to improve our services by making the library building a more comfortable place in which to meet and study. 

One of the perks of being a Dean of Libraries is the chance to meet many interesting people throughout the year.  I welcome the chance to meet you, whether in person or by e-mail or phone.   You will find me in Room 108 of Briggs Library or at the e-mail address and phone number below.

Wishing you a great year,

David Gleim

Dean of Libraries
