Hello from Pablo!

Greetings everyone! My name is Pablo. I am Professor Richarson's aka Lizbrarian Liz's Student Assistant. I am currently a junior at Edinboro University majoring in Political Science with a minor in Latin American Studies.

This is my third year working at Baron-Forness Library and I am proud to be a part of taking the library to a new level in helping distance education students take advantage of the resources and services BF Library has to offer. With experience in using blogs and online communications, I know this will be a great way to "bridge the gap" between distant students and Edinboro University.

With Baron-Forness Library branching out to all students in the EUP family the connection will be stronger making the educational experience more valuable and productive!

Great things to come........................

Books Direct

Distance education students as well as students taking classes at Edinboro University's Porreco and Meadville locations can have books from the Baron-Forness library delivered to their homes via a service called Books Direct.

There are some limitations. In order to use Books Direct, you must meet and agree to ALL of the following terms of service:

You are only enrolled in distance education courses (i.e. you take no classes on-campus), courses at Porreco and/or courses at Meadville
You do NOT attend any classes on the Edinboro Campus
You live 30 miles or more from the Edinboro campus
You agree to return the books by their due date
You agree to pay return postage

See the library's page about this service for more information.

Hello from Librarian Liz

Hello! My name is Professor Richardson. I am better known as Liz. I am a member of the library faculty at Edinboro University's Baron-Forness Library.

This is not my first blog. I have used blogs for professional purposes and have also blogged about everyday life matters. I have used blogs before to communicate with colleagues, but this is my first venture into blogging to provide library instruction and I am very excited about it!

With this blog I hope to provide useful information about the library services for distance education students and I also hope that some off-campus students will leave comments offering their own questions and ideas.

EUP Library Help Online

Are you an Edinboro student enrolled in an online program? Or maybe an Edinboro student whose schedule does not allow you to spend much time on campus? A night-owl (like me) who would rather do your research at 4 a.m. when the Baron-Forness Library building is closed? Then this blog is for you! You can get tips and advice on library research here--and maybe offer a few words of advice from your experience as a student scholar!
