Library Lens - Week 5

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We definitely have a Valentine's theme going on today.

Rare book display for Valentine's day in the Musagetes Library

Sara Perkins shares this photo collage of the Musagetes' Rare Book display for Valentine's Day. "John Hofstetter helped find some love-themed titles and our co-op student, Marissa White, made the heart garland from the pages of some great love stories. In the spirit of architecture, building the heart was certainly a structural challenge!"

"In the Team Canada Olympic spirit watching Team Canada vs. Team USA on Wednesday morning." Sarah notes that she's wearing her "National Women’s Team Canada jersey signed by the entire women’s Olympic team!"

Marissa and cookies she baked for Valentine's Day

"Our co-op student Marissa made heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies for all the students and staff at the Musagetes Library!" Photo submitted by Sara Perkins.

This week's throw-back photo

Staff loading tapes onto the library's old computer system.

Our computers used to be much bigger! This photo was taken in 1981 when the University signed a contract with GEAC for the development and implementation of a materials acquisition sub-system (MASS) to operate on the Library’s computer system. Do you recognize who's loading the tape onto the computer?
