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.
