To help students deal with exam stress while studying at the Natural Sciences Library, the staff have set up a play station where the students can vent their frustration and stress on a colourful rubbery substance. A sign at the entry way explains to students the top five ways to use the substance. What will you make?...

Iffat Ahmad has worked at the University Library since 1993 and has loved every moment of it. Working in a variety of positions in various branches has allowed her to learn a great deal about the library system and develop her skills. Iffat states that she applied for the Marjorie Clelland scholarship “because the ideas and knowledge I will bring back from the sessions I attend will ensure that as an employee, I will be adaptable to new ways of thinking and working. This, in turn, will benefit our clients, both external and internal, in that we can provide them with the tools required for them to excel academically and professionally.” Iffat will be using her scholarship award to attend the 7th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (http://eblip7.library.usask.ca). Beth Matheson is a library assistant at the Sciences Library. When asked about her application for the Marjorie Clelland Scholarship Beth said: “As a person in my prime during a major revolution in human history I feel a bit like I am always playing catch up with ‘current trends’. They are no sooner reported than they are out of date. Yet there is nothing to do but keep informed and try to see where things are going. I see much at the Alberta Library Conference 2013 to help me in my personal life as an author/illustrator/publisher toward understanding where information and storytelling are headed. And as a library assistant it can do nothing but good for me to work toward getting ahead of the curve. Even if I never quite make it.” Beth will be using her scholarship to attend the Alberta Library Conference (http://albertalibraryconference.com). *Information about the Marjorie Clelland Scholarship is available at http://library.usask.ca/info/initiatives/2009ClellandScholarship.php...

With the imminent demise of Google Reader, you may be wondering, what now? Feedly is an excellent replacement for Google Reader. When you initially set up your account, you are prompted to connect to Google Reader. Upon entering your Google account information your feeds are automatically transferred into Feedly, folders and all! It works best in Firefox, for all of you IE fans. Three things that I really like about Feedly: - there is a quick link for Feedly on your browser, beside the home icon - the magazine display looks really nice - it was super easy to transfer all of my feeds!...
