Course Reserves

As always, the first couple of weeks at the beginning of the semester are pretty hectic! We hope most of you finally have all your textbooks, and if you don't--we may have it here for you on the Reserve Shelf.

Things to Remember:

(1) All you need is a photo I.D. (HPU Unicard or License/State I.D.)

(2) We swap your I.D. for the Reserve book & will keep your I.D. until you bring the Reserve back.

(3) There is no set time limit on how long you keep a Reserve, as long as it does not leave the library, & it comes back to the Circ Desk by closing time! (but please be considerate of your fellow classmates!)

(4) Anyone who removes a Reserve will be charged $3.00 everyday it is not returned + all the instructors of that course will be notified.

Please remember that the libraries are not responsible for having all textbooks on Reserve & that books on Reserve are books that belong to your instructor or are books that the instructor have collected from the libraries' collection for you. If there is a book that you think should be on Reserve for your class, please ask your instructor if they could put a copy of it on the Reserve Shelf.

The first Hawaii resident to be crowned Miss America...

Firsts and Almost Firsts in Hawaii

by Robert C. Schmitt
ed. by Ronn Ronck

"Fun to read.... Organized for easy reference and clearly written. Despite its brevity (and levity), the book is a valuable reference work for history buffs and more serious students of Hawaii's past." -Honolulu Advertiser

This is the first book-length look at how and when a wide range of items made their first appearance in the Islands: from cockroaches, slot machines, and drive-ins to aloha shirts, parking meters, and shipwrecks. To satisfy the curious and the skeptical, endnotes and a bibliography listing more than 200 publications are provided, making this work a valuable reference for scholars and an entertaining handbook for trivia buffs.

Now available at the Reference Desk (AREFDESK DU623 .S36 1995)

Carolyn Suzanne Sapp was crowned Miss America on September 14, 1991. At the time of her crowning she was a junior at HPU.

Atherton Library "Group Study Room Use" Information

Unlike Downtown Meader Library, which has group study rooms on various floors, Atherton Library only has one group study room. Unfortunately for the the Academic Center in Hawaii Loa Campus, it is now the only spare room available for meetings, and the group room is designated for STUDENTS and LIBRARY STAFF ONLY. Faculty are not allowed to reserve this room, unless in rare circumstances & must be given special permission by Wayde, the Head of Atherton Library.

The group study room used to be our copier/junk room, until Wayde decided to convert it to a group study room. We are lucky to have this room. Being able to use this room is a privilege, and it should not be abused.

What is Food for Fines?

What is Food for Fines?

There seems to be lots of confusion on what Food for Fines is, not only with patrons of the library, but with the library staff as well.

Food for Fines is a program that gives you a grace period of ONE WEEK (7 days) to return your overdue books, without penalty, if you donate a canned/packaged food for each book that's overdue.

You cannot turn your overdue books in and come back to pay your fines with canned goods later.

"WHY," you ask?

Once you turn your books in, your account is automatically charged, and the fee cannot be waived.

If you turn your books in with the cans, we can waive those fees as the books are checked in, like they never existed.

Examples of stuff you can donate:

* cans of tuna, soup, vegetables, etc.

* package of ramen noodles, Cup - o - Noodles, etc.

* box of Hamburger Helper, Stove-Top Stuffing, etc.

...any food item that is SEALED and NON-PERISHABLE.

Keep in mind if your book is a day or two overdue, it's really not practical using this program, unless you have food items lying around your house already!

Questions? Message me, or stop by the circulation desk and ask for An or Wayde!

**All food items will be donated to the HPU Food Bank**

Avoiding Overdue Fines / How to Renew Your Books

Avoiding Overdue Fines / How to Renew Your Books

There are always issues with returning books and late fees, so we would like you to know of ways to avoid these problems.

If your book is overdue, you will be fined $0.50 per book per day, and the maximum amount that will be charged is $10.00 per book.

Solutions to avoid the Overdue Fines:

(1) We keep a book drop outside our doors so you can return your books before/after library hours.

For ex.: Your due date was Jul 8, and it slipped your mind.

(a) you can return your books that night (after library hours) & put it in the book drop

- OR -

(b) as long as you get your books in the book drop before we roll the it in the library doors at 8:00 a.m. Jul 9, you are still safe!

(2) You don't have to return your books here at Atherton, you can return your books to Meader Library, Downtown, if it's more convenient for you.

(3) Renew your books! (Reminder: You are only allowed 2 renewals)

~ YES, YOU CAN RENEW YOUR BOOKS OVER THE PHONE. Call us 236-3505 (Atherton Library, Windward Campus) or 544-0210 (Meader Library, Downtown Campus). *Don't forget to take whoever who renewed your books name down in case of errors*

~ Can't get a hold of us? Renew your books online (BUT...you will need a 4-digit PIN. You would have to contact us anyway to have it set up for you. So this option is no good if you don't have a PIN set up alrready!)

How to renew your books online:

(1) Login to your Campus Pipeline Account
(2) Go to the "Libraries" tab
(3) Under the "Research Tools" heading, click "Library Catalog."
(4) You should see a link that says "My Library Account" at the bottom right of the page. Click that link.
(5) Enter your Unicard number & your 4-digit PIN number. Your "Patron Information" page should appear.
(6) At the bottom of the screen, take a look at the "Loans" section. This section tells you what books you've checked out and when they are due.
(7) Check off the books you would like to renew, and when you are done, click "Renew Checked Items."
(8) Now, you can see that your Due Date has been extended!

If you have any problems with renewing your books online, please call us as soon as you can so we can fix this problem for you!

Book of the Week: Hawaiian Volcanoes

Hawaiian volcanoes: deep underwater perspectives
AHP H-P QE524.2 .U6H39 2002

"presents new data and interpretations of major consequence for our understanding of volcanic phenomena. From submersible dives to heretofore unreached depths for sampling and direct observation, scientists have begun to modify their ideas on several important areas: the subaqueous geology around Hawaii, early stage magmatism of Kilauea volcano, giant landslides off Oahu, and Hawaiian plume and magma genesis."

Health Sciences Librarian - Linda Uchida

I have been very busy thus far during the summer break. Nursing 4960 began a few weeks ago, and I gave my usual Library Instruction class to the students. They started coming to see me for help with their epidemiology papers for the class, and these sessions are quite in depth to help them with the research for their papers. However, I am glad to see the students coming in for help; as I know the papers are due in approximately four weeks.
Good luck to the NUR 4960 students with their epi papers. Don’t forget to see Jan McGrath for help! Remember, she is located at Meader Library, 1060 Bishop St. for the summer.
The Atherton and Meader Library librarians are busy selecting databases for the next (2007-2008) school year.
The weather is beautiful and hot outside the Academic Center, and I wish I could be out there enjoying the summer, also. In a couple of weeks I’ll be going on vacation and I’ll be able to do that also.

Book of the Week: Islands in a Far Sea

Professor of Biology, Dr. John Culliney's book Islands in a far sea: the fate of nature in Hawai'i is featured in the Summer 2007 edition of the HPU Today magazine.

Atherton Library recently received 2 copies of this title which are now in our New Books display.

New Carpet and Building Maintenance

The library will comply with the new policy effective June 19, 2007.



Below is a message from Alissa J. Arp, Ph.D., Vice President for Research and Dean, College of Natural Sciences, Hawai‘i Pacific University to all Hawai‘i Loa Campus faculty, staff and students



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I know we are all extremely pleased with the new clean, fresh look of our academic building.
Now we need to join together in keeping it that way. I have been placed in a position of responsibility and authority by President Wright to ensure proper maintenance of the entire building. I will be working with Andy Brittain and others to make sure that we follow a few guidelines to ensure the building remains pristine:




• No food or drinks, other than water, is allowed in the classrooms or other indoor common areas. Please use the lanai area for meals and social events. Food and beverages are permitted in the Student Lounge.




• If you spill anything, track in dirt or mud, or observe a similar unattended issue, immediately contact Steve Hendricks (x65809) or Dorothy Inouye (x63581) to get a cleaning crew to respond. If you are uncertain how to do this contact Denise Muraki (x65279) or Andy Brittain (x65288) and they will help you.




• Help take responsibility for keeping our bathrooms clean and orderly.
While the policy prohibiting food in the classroom is not new, I do realize that the adherence to the policy has been largely overlooked in the past. Effective immediately, however, the no food or drink in classroom policy will be fully enforced.




Thank you for your support and cooperation. This is a very serious matter that will require continued attention. It is one of my highest priorities, and I sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
