Welcome Back!


The staff of Atherton Library welcomes you back for Fall 2008! We hope your summer was both an enjoyable and productive time for you. Now that the new school year has started we want tell you about some of the changes that happened while your were away.

  • New computer area: We've consolidated our computers around the large conference table. This move serves to enhance our Quiet Study area by relocating the computers and printer away from the study carrels.
  • Longer hours: We are offering more weekend hours this semester. Beginning this Fall we are open Noon-7 pm on Sundays. Click here for schedule of hours.
  • New database: Combined Chemical Dictionary (CCD). Go to the Libraries tab in Pipeline to access this resource.
  • New search feature: SFX is a link resolver service that links a database citation to the full text of the article regardless of the database you are searching in. Basically, SFX will make finding full text articles a whole lot easier because it will provide a link to the full text available in any one of our 70+ databases. Click here for more info.
  • New library tour: Check out our new slide show tour of the library created by Linda Uchida, Health Sciences Librarian and An Hollowell, Library Assistant. Be sure to enable your speakers to listen to the soothing Hawaiian music that accompanies the pictorial tour of the library. Click here to view the tour.
We continue our efforts to look for new and improved resources and services for you. Please send me an e-mail if you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns.

Have a great semester!

Wayde Oshiro
Head of Atherton Library
