Quidnunc
New LITS Loan Service
This semester
LITS is introducing ILLiad, a secure, paperless method to make
interlibrary loan requests for MHC faculty, staff, and students
easier and more efficient. ILLiad will allow community members
to log on and make requests more rapidly and accurately. It
will also allow users to track the status of their requests
and modify them as need arises. Sign up and start using
ILLiad.
Women Helping Women
The Mount Holyoke Club of Turkey has started
an initiative to support a group of women in Izmir who are facing
severe financial setbacks. The alumnae initiative provides the
women with a modest income that they earn by selling handmade
decoupage note cards. The club organized a workshop to teach
the women the decoupage application method. “This is our
milestone project. In the past years, we organized several projects
such as recording books on tape for the blind in Ankara, planting
sapling trees in Izmir, and providing the MHC music library with
audio material, but none has touched on a shatteringly real social
problem like this one,” said the club president. “We
are witnessing the cracking of families in our immediate neighborhood,
and the economic situation does not provide any opportunities
or social help. We therefore felt the imperative need to take
action.”
