Wesleyan University Friends of the Library newsletters

Wesleyan Library Notes - In the Summer of 1968, after nearly a year’s planning by a special committee of the Alumni Council together with members of the library staff, the Friends of the Wesleyan Library was formed with the stated purpose of fostering fuller alumni participation in the support and benefits of the Wesleyan library. The issuance of Wesleyan Library Notes will be a major means of implementing the objectives of the Friends. This is the first such publication since the demise (with volume 18, no. 3/4 March/June 1948) of About Books, a small, informative quarterly put out during Fremont Rider’s tenure as librarian and sponsored by an earlier Friends group founded in the 1930’s. The Notes is not intended to be a scholarly review, but rather a journal of information about the library’s collections, acquisitions, and activities - information which hopefully will promote new and better friendship with alumni, faculty, students, and other book-lovers with an interest in Wesleyan.

Wesleyan Library Newsletter - Issued occasionally for the University community, the Friends of the Wesleyan Library, and other friends of the University. Publication is made possible by the Friends of the Wesleyan Library.

Check It Out - As library collections and services grow and change at a faster pace than at any other time in our history, we recognize the need to strengthen communication between the library and the University community. Check It Out, a new newsletter intended to appear twice a semester, offers current information about ever-changing library resources and services.
