on the University Park campus, lends a helping hand to one
of the new arrivals. With more than 200 lambs born this season
and a few more to come, the staff at the barns has been kept very busy.

The new Paterno and Pattee Libraries need to be "commissioned," which means shutting down all power and data for at least 24 hours so that all the new systems can be tested. The commissioning will take place on Saturday, March 4 -- the first day of Spring Break -- so Paterno and Pattee Libraries will be closed that day.
Here is the proposed schedule:
n Friday, March 3, 4:30 p.m.: LIAS goes down. All circulation and other activity must take place before
4:30 p.m.
n Friday, March 3, 5 p.m.: Paterno and Pattee Libraries must be vacated by all employees. Employees should not re-enter the building until Sunday around noon.
n Sunday, March 5, between noon and 1 p.m.: LIAS brought back up. Libraries reopen for business.
Document Services has expanded its full-color service to offer double-sided color print and copies, the ability to print on heavy card stock and edge-to-edge printing on 11x17 paper. Jobs can be accepted via digital files or as hard copy originals.
The new equipment can print a very high quality image at 12 pages per minute and can print on paper up to 12x18 in sheet size. The cost of color copies is still 95 cents each for 8.5x11 size or $1.75 for 11x17 pages.
