Welcome!

Have you seen the Library’s new web site? … the digital signage? … the new e–resources? Have you heard about the Library’s recent awards? … the events? … the programming for first–year students?

We have a lot of news to share in this issue of Foreword, the University of Toronto Mississauga Library’s e–newsletter.

Beginning with "Transforming Libraries, Next Generation Service Evolution", Chief Librarian Mary Ann Mavrinac’s feature article, you will read about our new organizational structure — a change that will move us forward in new and exciting directions. In the Impact section, browse The ‘Virtual’ Front Door – Library’s new website and learn how the Library’s new dynamic website responds to students’ needs. In Digital Signage in the Library, discover how the new digital signage works in tandem with the website to communicate key news to in–library users. In the Teaching with Technology interview with Professor Leigh Revers of the Master of Biotechnology program, read about an effective use of digital video, webconferencing and other technologies to enhance the classroom environment.

The Library has so much more News to share with you. We invite you to browse through this rich collection of articles. As always, we welcome your questions and comments.

Enjoy!
