Summer Computer Use Policy for Non-Longwood Patrons
The Library has adapted its regular policy for community use of public computers during the summer from May 10 to August 26. Please see the Community User Computer Use Policy, Summer 2005 for more information.
Quiet Study Area Designated on Second Floor
In response to suggestions from patrons and comments from the fall “Greenwood Library Free Gift” survey, the Race Street side of the second floor (A-HD classification) has been designated a quiet study area. We hope this will provide a space where students and other patrons can expect to have a noise-free environment. Individual study rooms are also available on each side of the second floor, and there are group study rooms in the Reference Room on the main floor for those needing a place for collaborative work.
New University Librarian
Hi,
I would like to introduce myself to the Longwood University community. I’m Wendell Barbour, your University Librarian. I recently joined the staff on August 10.
I previously worked in the California State University System at the Bakersfield Campus. I served as Vice President for Information Resources and Chief Information Officer. I had responsibility for all information resources activities, including the library, academic and administrative computing, telecommunications and campus web services. Before going to California, I served as Dean of Academic Support at Christopher Newport University (CNU) in Newport News, VA from 1983-1996. I had many responsibilities during my tenure at CNU, including the library, computing, registrar, admissions, financial aid, international studies, online degree program, liaison to the Virginia General Assembly, and co-chaired CNU’s Southern Association of Colleges and Schools decennial self-study.
I look forward to serving all of you as University Librarian, meeting your information needs, and continuing the long tradition of excellent service to the university community.
Future news items on the What’s New page of the Greenwood Library web site will include the Information Center and the recarpeting of the library.
Please stop by my office and introduce yourself to me, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have a concern, request, etc.
Wendell Barbour
University Librarian
