Greetings Business & Economics Students 

What’s New !!!!!!!

There are some changes you may or may not be aware of….

You have a new librarian, and my name is Loretta Wallace. This spring you will find me over in the Bauer School of Business for about an hour on Monday afternoons (4:30 - 5:30). Stop by and say hello, I’ll be sitting with a laptop and a cup of coffee near the Rockwell Career Services waiting area. If you stop by the M.D. Anderson Library, my door will be open on Thursday afternoons from 4:30 – 5:30.
