Welcome back for the fall semester! I hope you've all had an excellent first week of class and are looking forward to the second. Here at the library we've got great things planned for next week - the most newsworthy of which is the return of the food trucks!
Starting next week we're going to start inviting a different food truck to come serve lunch in the Library Commons parking lot. The first week is already all set and planned, so prepare to save your parking space and not have to wander elsewhere for lunch next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. :)
The schedule so far:
Tuesday 8/30 - Southern Dawgs at 11:00am (This is the same food truck that was serving lunch this Thursday. If you loved your hot dog, do come back and try another.)
Wednesday 8/31 - Taco de Paco at 11:30am
Thursday 9/1 - Curbside at 11:00am
For up-to-the-minute schedule information and updates, follow us on twitter: Follow @LibraryLunch
That's all the news for now! I hope you have an excellent start to your semester. :)

Social Safety
The New England Journal of Medicine recently published an article, "Integrating Social Media into Emergency-Preparedness Efforts," which describes ways in which social media can be and already is helpful in the event of a disaster.
Here at OLOL there is a handy emergency text messaging system already in place that will provide information and safety directions should something terrible happen on campus. To get these alerts you'll need to sign up for LYNX Emergency Messaging Service through Web Services. You'll find directions for doing this on the college web page here.
Here in Louisiana you really have to be aware of hurricane season. The state government has a useful website, Emergency.LA.gov, that has useful information on both preparing before a disaster, warnings for when one is anticipated, and relief information after it has passed. The web site currently has information about the flood, and previously had information about the oil spill.
The CDC produced this little frequently updated web image to help spread information about disaster preparedness and response.

New! Lunch @ the Library!
Have you ever wanted to just grab something to eat quickly on campus? Is the vending machine not quite satisfying enough, and the nearest fast food too slow for your mid-marathon study session mini-meal?
The library is working for a solution to this serious lack of food problem by inviting local food trucks to come serve in the Library Commons parking lot.
The first food truck day is April 25th, and they'll be in the parking lot serving food at 11:00am. They will not be here after the spring semester ends, and will most likely be coming back when the fall semester starts in a few months.
The current schedule is:
