Music in the Library Honors the Patron Saint of Music

Music in the Library presents its 6th annual concert in honor of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, on Thursday, November 17, from 12:00 noon until 1:00 p.m., in the O'Shaughnessy ("leather") Room of the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library. UST student guitarists, vocalists, instrumentalists, and the UST Gospel Choir will perform a variety of classical and gospel works in this free event. St. Cecilia, whose feast day is November 22, was a virgin saint and martyr of the early church and has been honored as the patron saint of music since the late 15th century. Bring your lunch; light refreshments will be provided.

Music in the Library provides opportunities for musicians in the UST community to perform in an informal, friendly atmosphere. Any student, faculty, or staff who is interested in participating in future musical offerings should contact Cathy Lutz (x2-5459; crlutz) or Conie Borchardt (x2-6874; clborchardt.)

UST Libraries: Context, Assessment, and Planning

Two Bulletin articles focused on the UST Libraries and its recent self-study. The series is called "UST Libraries: Context, Assessment, and Planning." Part I discusses recent developments that will affect academic libraries, including Google Scholar, and describes the libraries' assessment project. Part II describes the findings of the assessment, and how the libraries plan to use these findings to shape future planning.
