Linscheid November 2009

We’re Listening!
Have you noticed the dry erase board in the library? It has made its way from the Student
Lounge to the third floor by the elevator. Watch for it as it floats throughout the library
asking various questions. It is your opportunity to let us know how you would like to see
the library improved. Thanks to those who have contributed already; we appreciate your
input. Look for updates in future issues of Library News describing our efforts to respond
to your suggestions.

New copiers! New Features!

Check out the new copiers in the library! In direct response to student requests, the new
machines have built-in sheet feeders and duplex capabilities, cutting down on the amount
of paper used. Copies are still $ .10. The machines accept nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar
bills and pre-paid copy cards. Just a reminder! The library also has a color copier located
on the second floor! Color copies are $.50 per page.

Recently, rumors that a local restaurant was serving unsavory food circulated on the ECU
campus and around Ada in general. By now, you know the rumors were false. However, sto-
ries like this, often referred to as urban legends, spread faster than the latest cold or flu virus.
Come to the library to learn more about urban legends. Dr. Patrick Bohan, ECU Department
of Environmental Health Science, will explain the basics of food safety and the science debunk-
ing many urban legends. Kara Cloud, ECU Department of Sociology, will discuss the origins
of urban legends. Angie Brunk, Linscheid Library, will help you find information to debunk
many of the tall tales that land in your inbox.
