SHARE: Join Our Email List NPML [Bull]etin Volume 3, Issue 5, April 2020 From the Dean Friends, The Nelson Poynter Memorial Library building is closed, but the library faculty and staff are working as hard or harder than ever, making sure our resources and services are open for USFSP faculty, staff, and students. As you know, the Library has a rich array of electronic resources, which you’ve used remotely for a long time. However, not everything is available online. Thanks to fair use, our membership in HathiTrust provides, during this emergency, digital access to many print materials we own. Typically, HathiTrust provides full-text access only to those materials out of copyright and in the public domain. Because of the COVID-19 emergency, HathiTrust has enacted Temporary Emergency Access Services , a provision which opens digital versions of print materials to its members. The next time you need a print book owned by USF, check out HathiTrust—you may be surprised by what you find. And, remember that if you are not sure where to look and what to do, librarians can help you find the resources you need and save you time and frustration. For a resource on the various ways that NPML can help you, visit the USF St Petersburg Library Coronavirus Updates . I wish you the best of luck for the end of the semester and hope that you find some respite in the near future. I’m looking forward to when I can see you again in person! Stay healthy, Catherine Cardwell Dean, Nelson Poynter Memorial Library Spotlight Library Staff Are Still Working to Support You While most of the library staff are working remotely, Sam Holloway and Carolyn Kirch are our essential workers at the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library. They're busy lending laptops to USFSP students, mailing books to our faculty and students, and scanning articles and chapters to ensure that our students continue to have access to their required textbook readings. Don't worry, with the library closed, they have plenty of space to socially distance; but no matter what they deserve a hearty thanks for all that they do!!
