Volume 2, issue 11

New H1N1 Reporting requirement begins today.
To: All library Faculy/Staff
From: Mike Furuli
Re: H1N1 reporting

Starting TODAY Monday (9/21), all campus departments have to send a daily report to HR totalling the number of faculty/staff who have called in sick that day (this does not include students who are being counted by other means). Since I will be the person doing this (with Marical as backup) I will need everyone to call both their supervisor and me (303/556-6021) by 10:00 a.m. of each morning that they are absent.

HR has established 4 categories that they wish people to report and they are as follows:
1)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to their own flu-like symptoms
2)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting a family/household member with flu-like symptoms
3)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to their own other/unknown illness
4)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to family/household member with other/unknown illness.

When you leave your message, please give me enough information so I know which category to count you under.

No specifics will be going to HR - they just want to know the numbers in each category for each day.

For those working on the weekends, please leave me a message no later than 10:00 a.m by the following Monday.

If you work later in the day and don't realise until after 10:00 a.m that you won't be in, please call when you do know you won't be in. Also, if you leave early due to illness, please let me know when you leave.(This also applies if you are using vacation (or leave without pay) in lieu of sick leave.)

You will need to report leave on your monthly timesheets as this is a separate process from the normal monthly time reporting.

If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact either Marical or me.
Thanks! - Mike



Auraria Library is LSTA Grant Recipient

The Auraria Library has been awarded an LSTA grant to complete a project on “Latinos in Colorado: Research Sources and Research Strategies”.

Funding supports a UC Denver graduate student in public history who will identify images from the Rocky Mountain News. In addition, members of the community will be invited to contribute images. Visual images will be digitized and cataloged by our Denver Public Library partners, who will also host the virtual Latino collection on their website.

In addition, next spring UC Denver College of Arts and Media students will create an instructional video on Latino research strategies and resources.


Logos Available on Intranet Wiki
http://intranet.auraria.edu/wiki/index.php/Brand_Files_and_ColorsThe library logos are now available on the intranet wiki! There are three styles: the “infinity A,” which is the A by itself; “vertical,” which is the the A with “Auraria Library” underneath it; and “horizontal,” which is the A as the first letter in the phrase “Auraria Library.” These are available in multiple sizes for all library employees to use, and they are suitable for everyday print and online use. If you need a very high-quality, high-resolution logo (i.e., for stationery or branded products) please let Nina know what you need.


Islam in American Culture Series - Dr. Mina Marefat

The Colorado Center for Public Humanities will be hosting the architectural historian and urban designer, Dr. Mina Marefat, as the second installment of the Center’s Islam in American Culture series. The event will take place on Mon., Sept. 28, 6pm-7:30, in the Executive MBA Suite of the CU Denver Building , 1250 14th St. (SW corner of 14th and Larimer), room 150.


Dr. Marefat is a Frank Lloyd Wright scholar, currently teaching at Georgetown Univ. She works on the city as a space of encounters between the Islamic world and the West. Her talk, “Transcultural Imagination: Frank Lloyd Wright in Baghdad,” looks at Wright’s 1958 urban design plans for greater Baghdad and the influence of that project on Wright’s American architecture. Dr. Marefat is also Iranian by birth, and has done considerable work on Iranian cities like Tehran, Isfahan, and Bam. So for those who are interested in contemporary events in Iran , this will be a great opportunity to talk with someone who truly understands that part of the world.


Information on all the lectures that are part of the Islam in American Culture series is provided below and at http://clas.cudenver.edu/publichumanities/
