UW campus closed Tuesday; no class tonight

Here's the announcement on the UW emergency site:

"All three UW campuses have suspended operations and canceled classes for Tuesday. UWEO/UWPCE classes (that's us) also are canceled. Only essential personnel (that's not us) should report in cases of suspended operations.

This means we miss our visit to learn about the UW libraries. Rather than rescheduling that, I want to go right into our critiques next Tuesday night (Nov. 30). Those who are scheduled for critiques that night should attach their projects to messages on the class website so others can download, read and come to class Tuesday with lots to say.

It is unfortunate that we will miss the library visit, but with the visit from Cheryl and the trip to NARA you have been exposed to the research opportunities available to you. Please add to that the UW library system, which is available to you as a student in the non-fiction program. The UW library resources, both online and on the shelves, are vast, and I recommend that you take advantage of them.

I will contact the person who was going to conduct our session and see if she has any alternative ideas for those who want a better introduction to the library system.

Stay warm, stay safe (don't drive) and have a Happy Thanksgiving. See you Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 6:15 p.m. in Denny 206.

  1. Thanks for the heads-up, John. I can't even leave my house (driveway is frozen). Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

  2. A note on the libraries - ask librarians for help! They are amazing resources & tend to really love their jobs, and it seems are under-utilized.

    Stay warm & toasty!
