Newsletters, Wilson, Rebecca, Susquehanna University, Roger M. Blough Learning Center
In an effort to keep faculty in step with library developments, a newsletter was initiated in 1985. Library funding, DIALOG retrieval services and new video acquisitions were a few of the topics being discussed in the spring of 1985. The newsletter is still published today thanks to the hard work of Dr. Rebecca Wilson, the Library's Associate Director in cooperation with her colleagues.
