Today, Wednesday, April 30, will be the last Resume Critique session for the Spring Semester.
Career Services will suspend the on-site resume critique for the summer (in both Central Library & SEL). The service will resume sometime after the Fall semester begins.
During the summer, if you’re interested in receiving a resume critique during the summer, you can make an appointment with UT Arlington Career Services. Visit http://careers.uta.edu/pages/career.htm for contact information.
Here is a list of all the reference books we’ve received in the Science & Engineering Library during the month of April 2008:
We now have access to Standards Infobase via SAI Global. For those of you who use standards frequently, we hope that having access to standards via this online resource will ease the process of finding standards.Through the Standards Infobase search, you now can search for standards across publishing organizations using keywords, standard number, title, etc. This makes it much easier to find multiple standards that apply to topics related specifically to your work.
Once you have identified the standard that you want, click the basket icon to add the standard to the list of items you want to acquire. When you have a list compiled of the items you need, click the green box in the right hand menu labeled “View Basket Checkout”. You will receive a pop-up box that requests your name and email address. Scroll down to the bottom of this pop-up box and click on “place order”. This will send the request to be processed.
Standards available in digital format will be provided via email. Some standards are available only in hard copy; in such cases you will be notified by email when it’s available for pick up.
IEEE standards are still accessed via IEEE Xplore. More information about Standards Infobase.
We welcome your comments on this issue.

Good luck on finals and congratulations to Spring ’08 graduates!
Texans worth their salt, know the bluebonnet is our state flower. The blooms turn to seed resulting in new blooms next season for later generations to see and admire.
The Science & Engineering Library has mounted an exhibit in conjunction with Central Library and the Architecture & Fine Arts Library to promote awareness of the University of Texas at Arlington involvement in sustainability in all areas of the university community.
Just like bluebonnets which when left alone, turn to seed pods to form a fresh crop the following spring, we, as citizen of the earth must be good stewards of what has been given us. Across disciplines, sustainability is a prime research area. The University has been recognized as a leader in sustainability research and sustaining the environment of the campus and community.
