<Title>Library Carpeting Project - (1/3 - 1/18)</Title>
<Tagline>Possible Service Disruptions</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Services on the first floor of the Library will be relocated and, hopefully, not significantly disrupted, while contractors replace the carpet, beginning Thursday, January 3, and continuing through Friday, January 18, 2013. Computers will be removed from the area beginning January 2 but will continue to be available on floors 2-7 and in the RLC. Please watch for signs directing users to temporary service locations. All Library services will continue during the carpeting project.   Printing service will continue to be available in the RLC and on the 2nd and 7th floors. Scanning service will be available on the 2nd floor. The Technology Support Center will be located in room 216.<br><br>In preparation for the carpet installation, public computers on the 1st floor will be moved to the Gallery for storage beginning on Dec. 20.<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Library carpet was installed in 1995. Now 17 years old, it has survived longer than expected, especially considering the high traffic on the first floor. It will now be replaced with carpet tile of similar design and color to the carpet tile which was recently installed on the 7th floor.</div>

<Title>Reduce your stress by changing your thinking &#8211; Addressing Feelings of Stress &#8211; Dec. 7, 2012</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Stress. It plagues us! We are burdened by it. Is there a way to manage stress? Yes, there are some ways that you can reduce stress by changing the way that you perceive situations. While some situations are out of our control, there are ways to manage stress by taking some actions that you may not have considered. Dr. Robert Deluty, Associate Dean of the Graduate School and Associate Professor of Psychology will lead this session on<strong> “Addressing Graduate Students Feelings of Stress” on Friday, December 7, 2012, 4:30 PM, UMBC, Public Policy Building, Room 206.</strong> In addition to being an administrator and professor, Dr. Deluty is an author and practicing clinical psychologist with a  private practice.</p>
    <p>This seminar is brought to you by popular demand. Students who came to the seminar last year reported feeling more relaxed after Dr. Deluty’s seminar. Our evaluations, and our research show that graduate students don’t fully utilize services on campus that assist with reducing stress, but that they enjoy coming to seminars and workshops that have a welcoming atmosphere to talk about topics of stress and anxiety. Dr. Deluty’s schedule is very busy, but he is taking time out of his week to spend time with our graduate students. Please take advantage of this special opportunity. Light refreshments will be served. This event is open to all graduate students and their guests.</p>
    <p>UMBC students, please RSVP on MyUMBC: <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/promise/events/15090" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><br>
