Wireless Access in the Library

Shatford Library is better than if has the good wifi.
Ryan Lam


Ryan,
We agree completely! We have struggled with the wireless installation in the Library for years. It is very unstable and our Computing Services Department has tried a variety of things to get the existing system to work properly. There will finally be some resolution in Fall 2008 when stable wireless (using the 802.11n wireless standard) will be installed throughout campus, including the Library. Unfortunately we have to live with what we've got until then. In the meantime, whenever you notice that wireless is down please report it to the Reference Librarian so we can reset the system.
Thanks,
Leslie Tirapelle, Librarian

Men's Bathroom

Bathrooms urinals with no flush smell like ghetto, invest in deodorants for the love of God.


Hello Stanley,
I am very concerned when I hear of situations like this one and I
agree that this is an issue of common decency related to the
waterless urinals. Let me see what options are available and I will
let you know what we can do to "fix" this problem.
Mary Ann Laun,
Assistant Dean, Library Services.

Architecture Books

Hi! I'm a second year architecture student at PCC. I personally think that Shatford lib. doesn't have enough architecture books for us to do research on. There are some handful magazines and good books out there. It'd be really really helpful for us if you can subscribe it. Please consider about it. Thanks. LayNgy


LayNgy,
We appreciate your suggestion! The Acquisitions Librarian will look into developing this collection further. If you have any specific titles in mind, you can fill out a Purchase Request form on the Library's web site at http://www.pasadena.edu/library/purchase.html.
