UAF staff are invited to a staff tour of Rasmuson Library from 12:15 - 12:45 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15.

The Rasmuson Library has one of the world's finest collections of Alaska and Polar Regions materials including books, periodicals, photography, manuscripts, films, oral histories, rare books and maps. The collections are centered on Alaska but include many items about the Circumpolar North and Antarctica. Subject bibliographers, archivists, anthropologists and historians on the APR staff are available for reference and research assistance. The online library catalog (Goldmine) can be used to locate books, videos, government documents and other materials owned by the UAF Rasmuson and BioSciences Libraries, the Keith Mather Geophysical Institute Library, and other libraries throughout the state.

Please meet at the main entrance front desk at 12:15 p.m. The tour will begin with a 5 minute presentation of the digital archive collection and what is available online.
