Being the Library Dean at Foley has to be one of the best jobs in the world. I get to work with incredibly dedicated, smart, and talented people in service to you — Gonzaga students.  Finding and  interpreting information is a critical part of your education, and we are here to help you in whatever way we can.  The question is — how can we best help you?  What do we do well?  What needs to be changed?  Any ideas for something new?

I really do value your input.  As a result of student surveys, notes and other comments —(a few brave souls even came to see me) — we have new group study rooms on the second floor.  The number one complaint I’ve heard has been cell phone use in the library — hence the new policy limiting cell phone use to a few areas in the building.  We’ve moved this year from the “no food” policy (which most people ignored) to a more reasonable and I think realistic policy asking you to just use common sense and not make a mess or stink up the place with garlic.

Your opinion really does matter and can make a difference. I hope you’ll use this blog to express yourselves and please feel free to contact me at bellgarrison@gonzaga.edu.  A personal visit is always nice too.
