The Library welcomes Opal Anderson to our staff! Opal is the new Administrative Assistant to our new Director, Jan Chindlund. She comes to us with extensive, rich and pertinent experience in business administration and event planning, most recently with the Union League Club.
Opal began an intense week of training yesterday, December 17th, overseen by our previous Administrative Assistant to the Director, Michelle Ferguson. Michelle will transition to her "new" role as Assistant to the Associate Vice President for Academic Research and Dean of the Library, Jo Cates.
Congratulations and welcome to Opal!Congratulations to those of you who have finished your finals!!! Hang in there to those of you who have a few more things to wrap up (and don't forget to ask the Library for help)!

As we announced back in October, you are now able to use your Columbia College ID's to print in the Library. To do this, you need to add "Columbia Cash" to your card. Right now, there are only two ways to do this: with your Visa or Mastercard online (any amount added instantly) or with a check (minimum $50) at the Campus Card office during their 9-5, M-F hours.
Don't get stuck trying to print with no Columbia Cash! Add money today! And remember, you can spend Columbia Cash at the Coffee Cart in the Library, in the Bookstore and at the Plum Cafe, among other places. For more info, check out the Columbia Cash site.
FYI: You'll be able to use up your Purple Print cards or add money to existing Purple Print cards through next semester (you can't purchase new Purple Cards, though).
is hitting the road!
Tomorrow you don't need to come to the Library...the Library will come to you! Helpful and friendly Columbia College Chicago librarians will be available at the Plymouth Court dorm to assist you with your research as you head into finals week.
Where: 731 Plymouth Ct.
When: Thursday, December 6th from 1-3pm
