The UCBA Library enjoyed celebrating National Library week with our students, staff and faculty.
There were several opportunities to win gift cards and UCBA gear. Here are the happy winners:
Library Director Heather Maloney with Caitlin Toler. Caitlin won a $10 Gift Card to the UCBA Bookstore by participating in the UCBA Library survey.
Librarian Michelle McKinney with Kayla Matthews. She won a $10 Bleecker Street Gift Card for answering a Question of the Day.
Library visitors enjoyed a sweet, nerdy treat (Air Heads and Nerds) when they stopped by the desk.
Library faculty and staff pulled showed off their bookish fashion with library/reading themed t-shirts and buttons.
The Question of the Day continued with asking visitors about their favorite biographies/autobiographies.
The trivia board noted the recent ranking of UC’s Health Sciences Library as one of the Top 25 Health Science Libraries in the U.S.

The NEW Faculty Research guide is now available! It’s a great starting point for faculty conducting discipline-specific or scholarship of teaching & learning research. From setting up research alerts to search tools to evaluating journals for potential publications, the UCBA Library has got you covered!
Heather Maloney, Library Director: Getting too many and letting them pile up on my bedside table. I try to answer all of life’s quandaries with a different book.
Michelle McKinney, Reference/Web Services Librarian: Accidentally re-reading books. I’ll borrow a book from the library and realize a few chapters in that I’ve read it before.
Kellie Tilton, Instructional Technologies Librarian: Using the dust jacket flaps as a bookmark. Not as bad as earmarking the page, but still not as good as an actual bookmark.
Lauren Wahman, Instruction Librarian: Finding too many good ones and running out of time to read them all. And, occasionally, picking up one that I’ve already read!
Rachel Lewis, Technical Services Manager: Not at all!
Tammy Manger, Public Services Manager: Falling asleep only after two pages…I hate that!
Chris Marshall, Public Services Assistant: Earmarking the pages. Bad Habit!
