Something to remember during this busy final exam period: The Archer Library & Archives has live occupancy data available online via the Waitz app, which allows you to see what our building occupancy is at any given time. You can access this information on our website (using the “current library occupancy” link) or you can check the visual display unit in our front entrance on your way in.
For the impatient, the direct link is: https://waitz.io/regina
Waitz uses custom sensors that scan for radio signals (Bluetooth & WiFi) in an area. These sensors pick up laptops, cell phones, wearables, and other connected devices. The total signal activity is analyzed to estimate the number of people in the area.
From Sunday, December 8th through Friday, December 20th, the Library will be open until 2:00 am for final exam extended hours of operation. No library services will be provided from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am, but student assistants will staff the Help Desk during this time to monitor the main floor area and provide general assistance.
Starbucks (Archer Library location) hours of operation during this time period will be:
Monday to Friday: 7:00 am – 9:00 pm
Saturday to Sunday: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Starbucks will provide free coffee and tea at 9:00 PM Dec. 9-13 and Dec. 16-20.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to yesterday’s Celebration of Authorship, the annual event that spotlights creators from the University community through the Author Recognition Program. The program showcases not only printed text works but a variety of creative or scholarly projects published in various media such as artworks, websites and app development. This past year saw an exciting and diverse crop of new works from University authors, and pictured here are three who presented brief summaries about their creative process: Risa Horowitz, Belan Tsagaye, and Marcel DeCoste. A jazz trio from the Department of Music also performed during the reception.
More information on the Author Recognition Program can be found here: https://library.uregina.ca/authorrecognition
