WebPrint
Beginning on Monday, Feb. 12, all computers in the Hatfield Library will be set up to use WebPrint. This system is designed to keep a record of pages printed by each user in an effort to eliminate wasted paper.
WebPrint was designed by WITS but was created in conjunction with the university's sustainability council. It is also the software used by patrons with laptop computers.
WITS has created a page with more information regarding WebPrint.

An Evening with Brian Keith Jackson
Critically acclaimed author Brian Keith Jackson will give a free reading
Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Library's Hatfield Room.
Jackson’s debut novel, “The View from Here,” won the First Fiction Award from the American Library Association Black Caucus and received a fellowship from the Millay Colony for the Arts.
Jackson’s second novel, “Walking Through Mirrors,” is about a New York photographer who returns to his Louisiana roots and comes to terms with the flaws of his family.
His third novel, “The Queen of Harlem,” won the Distinguished Writers Award from the Middle Atlantic Writers Association. The book is about a young African-American man raised in the suburbs who retreats from wealth and privilege to discover his true self.
Jackson has written about art and culture for The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Observer in London, Paper, Nylon magazine and Vibe magazine, and he has contributed to several anthologies and gallery and museum catalogs.
