STANFORD -- The Stanford University Libraries will host an "InfoFair" at numerous campus locations Thursday, April 21, and Friday, April 22, to highlight resources including Portfolio, Stanford's new campus-wide information system.
Also to be featured are resources such as inter-library borrowing, references and collections, and online tools such as Internet navigation aids.
The information fair "is an effort to help readers connect the literature in their areas of scholarly interest to the places and faces of the libraries," said Michael Keller, director of Stanford University Libraries.
"We want to provide readers with the richest understanding possible of the resources and tools available to them," Keller said.
Following is a summary of events to be held at various locations. For a complete schedule of times, contact the individual libraries, or send an electronic request to Infofair@Forsythe.
