We need a few upper-level or graduate students majoring in Graphic Communications or Photography/Digital Media to help with a collection analysis before the semester’s over. If you meet that description, please contact cwessinger@uh.edu or visit the library to perform a quick (10 minute) evaluation.  Your participation would be very helpful, strongly impact how our budget will be spent over the next few years, AND you will be rewarded with flash drives and other cool, free stuff.
