Increased access to free printing is being offered by Student Government in partnership with Information Technology, beginning with summer sessions 2011. This expansion will allow students to print for free at many of the Tampa campus computer labs, as well as from the USF Application Portal, apps.usf.edu. Students will be given an allotment of $2.50 per day that can be used towards printing or copying. Once the student uses their allotment of $2.50 for a day, they can continue to print at the normal pay for print rates.
New, high end color copier/printers are also being installed in the Marshall Center, Library, and other areas on campus as part of this project. The cost of color prints is also being lowered from 30 cents per print to 25 cents per print.

Good news for ISI Web of Science users! Web of Science now supports direct export of citations to RefWorks. Above and below the Web of Science search results display, a "Save to RefWorks" button has been added. This feature immediately opens RefWorks.
Changes are coming to our website's SFX screen, where you 'Find it @USF.'
To make it easier to link to full-text resources, the USF Libraries are moving to a simplified version of the 'Find it @USF' screen on Tuesday, May 10, 2011. This change is based on user feedback. We hope that it is helpful to you.
Changes include:
· Less clutter
· Larger font that is easier to read
· Removing the citation boxes
· Replacing the GO button with links
· Icons for the type of resources

Memory, Trauma, and the Holocaust (SPC 6934): A new week-long, graduate seminar offered in May 2011, co-taught by communication and sociology professor Carolyn Ellis and historian and libraries scholar Mark Greenberg (Head of the USF Libraries Holocaust & Genocide Studies Center).
Ellis and Greenberg will co-teach “Memory, Trauma, and the Holocaust” during the week-long break between spring and summer “A” session. This course will explore the Holocaust through oral history and personal testimony, concentrating on the impact of the passage of time and life experiences on memory and constructed storytelling of Holocaust survivors living in the Tampa Bay area. Students will engage relevant scholarship on memory, trauma, and narrative; view Holocaust documentaries; examine recorded survivor testimonies; and interact with local survivors. Prior courses in the Holocaust are not required, though students will be expected to complete Doris Bergen’s War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust before the class begins. The major course assignment will consist of analyzing several recorded interviews of a single survivor over a fifteen to twenty year period and writing a paper from the testimonies and other scholarly sources on memory, narrative, and trauma.
All graduate students from all departments at USF are invited to join us. The class will meet 10-5 on May 9-13, 2011 (Monday-Friday of the week during spring-summer intersession) and on Sunday June 19th, 2011. Students must commit to attending all classes.
