Friday, June 16: Update on financial workstations at HSSL

Due to the installation of new desks on the 2nd floor of McLennan, the financial workstations in this area will be temporarily unavailable for most of June 13-15.

The following applications with be unavailable during this time: Bloomberg, Datastream, Morningstar, and SDC Platinum.

We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause.

***

I should also mention that later this summer we will be moving these workstations to a new location, a room on the 3rd floor of McLennan!

This room will provide a dedicated space for people working on financial data assignments, and will allow small groups to work together without disrupting the students studying nearby.

The exact date of this move has not yet been determined, but we are hoping to limit the downtime to a single day. I’ll post an update here once we know the date.

If you have any questions or concerns about this new space, please let me know (edward.bilodeau@mcgill.ca).

What’s on Your Summer Reading List?

The Humanities and Social Sciences Library has put together a stellar collection of fiction (with a sprinkling of poetry for those who want to look arts-y at the beach) for your reading pleasure this summer.

We have a brand new Book Display on the main floor where you can peruse the collection in person and borrow as many as you like. You’ll find best sellers, classics, literary masterpieces, and thrillers, just to name a few.

There’s something for everyone. I suspect many of you will be saying to yourselves, “I didn’t know the library had these kinds of books…” Now you know! Happy reading!
