Information Commons Survey

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

The library is asking for everyone in the Pacific community to help determine how the library’s technology resources can best serve our patrons.

So, we’ve decided to do a survey. A quick survey. One where participants might win a new iPod Shuffle.

Interested? Proceed to the survey web site!

The survey is now closed.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Now you can get access to PacifiCat, the library’s online catalog of books and multimedia materials, right from the search box in Firefox or Internet Explorer 7. It’s simple: just install the new “Search PacifiCat” plugin from the link on the library homepage. With one click the code automatically adds a “Search PacifiCat” option to the list of search engines available for your browser.
