The University of Notre Dame Libraries

I just wanted to say in this space how much I enjoy my opportunity here at the University Libraries at the University of Notre Dame as a Librarian In Residence. I went to a gathering of Librarians and other University Library Personnel to hear the annual State of the Library Address by our Director, Ms. Jennifer Younger and the University's new Provost, Mr. Tom Burish. It was a good experience, and I was really pleased to hear that the libraries are an important aspect of university life. Some of the funds from the recent Fiesta Bowl will be used to enhance our libraries here. This is an exciting time for our libraries.

The Library's web-link is located at:

Also, one of my duties as a Librarian In Residence is to provide Library Instruction within University Libraries for our First Year Composition and First Year Seminar students. We have created a wonderful resource page at the following link:

Check it out, and please feel free to offer comments.
