Items with Linderman locations in the ASA catalog are housed at the Library Materials Center (LMC) and other remote storage sites. Users with Lehigh IDs may place requests through this form: http://www.lehigh.edu/library/storage-request . Requested material is retrieved on a 24-hour notice weekday delivery. Some materials do not circulate and must be used in-house or in Special Collections. You will be notified if that is the case. Otherwise, you will receive an email notice when your item is available for checkout or pickup at the Circulation Desk. The Linderman Library Renovation website has been updated since the move. The site, http://www.lehigh.edu/lts/linderman/faculty.html, includes revised information for faculty preparing for fall courses and research projects. The "With Linderman Closed, How Will I..." FAQ contains up-to-the-moment, complete info on services for humanities scholars and students (http://www.lehigh.edu/lts/linderman/faq.html). * * *SYMANTEC V10 NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD* The newest version of Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition is available for download on Lehigh's Security website: http://www.lehigh.edu/security/ Click "Symantec Antivirus" and follow the download and installation instructions for your operating system. *NEW COMPUTE SERVER "VEGA"*** The SGI (Silicon Graphics) compute server, better known as Rigel, has recently been upgraded to a new SGI compute server, Vega. The new compute server has the same number of processors as Rigel (32) but the processor speed is 3 times greater and there is 4 times the memory (128 Gigabytes) and storage (1 Terabyte). Information for accessing applications and compilers on Vega are available at http://vega.cc.lehigh.edu <http://vega.cc.lehigh.edu/> . Rigel users have been receiving periodic updates by e-mail for the past 6 weeks and should be aware of the change. Seminars on the new system are scheduled for August 12th (10am) and August 26th (1pm) in Fairchild-Martindale Computing Center Room 292. Registration for these seminars is required. To register, please contact Kelly Decker at ksd2@lehigh.edu <mailto:ksd2@lehigh.edu> or 83990. If you have any questions regarding the new server or need help accessing specific applications please call the help desk at 8-HELP or your department computing consultant. */THE Color of Water/ is Lehigh "Same Page" Selection* "On the Same Page Lehigh," the Lehigh Libraries Friends One Book program, encourages students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to read James McBride's /The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother/. On Tuesday, September 13th McBride will visit Lehigh University and give a free talk at 7:30 pm in Sinclair Laboratory Auditorium. There will also be a book discussion on Thursday, September 29th at 4:00 pm in Jazzman's. The Fairchild-Martindale Library will have a supply of paperbacks for loan to the campus community, as do many local libraries. The Lehigh Bookstore and other local bookstores have copies for purchase.

Pennsylvania State University and Franklin and Marshall College each contributed a Book of Hours to this growing collaborative effort. The project enables institutions that may have only one or a few of these resources to reach an international audience. Visitors interested in miniatures, decorated initials or Medieval and Renaissance calligraphy will find the variety of the manuscripts represented on the site useful in their research and teaching. *FAIRCHILD-MARTINDALE LIBRARY HOURS* July 26 through August 10: Monday - Thursday open 8 am - Midnight Saturday - open 9 am - 5 pm Sunday open Noon - 5 pm Summer Session II Exams: Thursday, August 11 open 8 am - Midnight Friday, August 12 open 8 am - 10 pm Linderman Library is closed for renovation. ****************************************************************** Send your comments or suggestions for future topics by replying directly to the list.
