Book Drive to Benefit Pediatric Cancer Patients at UNC
The Health Sciences Library, along with several other UNC departments and organizations, is sponsoring a book drive on behalf of the Book Fairy, an organization that donates children's books to the Pediatric Oncology Clinic at UNC Hospitals.
All new or gently-used books for ages one through mid-teen are welcome. The need is especially great for Spanish-language books at the preschool level and picture books or easy readers in English.
A list of suggested books is available at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/bookfairy_unc.
Books can be dropped off in the "Book Fairy" Box in the HSL lobby.
In addition, the Bull's Head Bookshop will offer a 25% discount on books purchased for donation to the book drive. At the time of purchase simply mention the phrase, “Book Fairy” to the staff.
The book drive is sponsored by the University Library Diversity Committee, the Health Sciences Library, the School of Information and Library Science, the School of Education, and the School of Social Work.
For information about the drive, contact Rebecca Vargha, librarian, Information and Library Science Library, (919) 962-8361, vargha@ils.unc.edu.

We welcome you to the new HSL home page. This is the first phase in our website redesign. We plan not only to give it a new and updated look like you see here, but also to make it easier to use. Big changes will continue to be announced here on our newsblog, so stay tuned!
What’s new?
The biggest difference you’ll notice is that it looks different -- the visual design of the home page is different. There’s a graphical element that we’ll use to highlight events, news, resources, and services. You can also search the catalog from the search box on the home page - you'll be presented with matches from anywhere in the record.
How can I help?
We are looking for people willing to beta test our new changes and/or participate in usability testing. Please contact our website redesign team if you are interested.
I love it.
We’re glad. Tell us what you like about it. We realize that not everyone will like a new design, but it is nice that you do.
I don’t like the new look.
We’re sorry. Tell us what you don’t like about it. We realize that not everyone will like a new design, and we'd like to hear why you don’t.
Can you change [insert change here]?
We are always interested in hearing your ideas of how to improve our site. Please tell us your suggestions.
I can't find what I am looking for.
As always, one of our staff would be happy to help. Please Ask a Librarian.
How do I get back to the old home page?
If you want use the old home page, it's still around for a while. Use our URL http://www.hsl.unc.edu/index_old.cfm.
