New Paley Printers Will Improve Service and Save Paper

You asked – and suggested – and we listened. You wanted more reliable printers. You wanted more efficient printers. And you wanted printers with two-sided printing to save paper and institutional resources. Today we replaced our two aging and not-so-efficient Dell printers with two brand new HP printers. The new black & white printers are more efficient, have greater paper capacity (less empty trays) and we’ve instituted default two-sided printing to save paper and resources. We hope these two new printers will make your time in the library more effective and enjoyable. If you have any comments or concerns about our computer printing please contact Steven Bell, Associate University Librarians for Research & Instructional Services.

Stone Reader Interview

Mark Moskowitz sat down for an interview with librarian Fred Rowland after discussing books and filmmaking in an appearance at the Paley Lecture Hall on March 24, 2009. Moskowitz is the producer and director of the non-fiction narrative film The Stone Reader, in which he tracks down the elusive author of The Stones of Summer, Dow Mossman, a young writer who slipped into obscurity after publishing his first novel. The Stone Reader won awards at both the 2002 Slamdance Film Festival and the 2003 Philadelphia Film Festival. In this interview, Moskowitz talks about the book, his film, its reception, and his current projects.
