Two Recognized for Their Outstanding Performance

Qun Wang will be one of four student employees recognized for outstanding performance at the I.U. Libraries Annual Recognition celebration on April 17 in theWells Library. A SPEA graduate student majoring in Public Affairs, Qun has been with BUSP since January, 2007. Qun was nominated for this award because of his outstanding work ethic and his impressive personal skills. He has been observed as always going the extra mile when providing service to our patrons. This effort, along with his reliability and initiative, have contributed greatly to the success of the I.C. this academic year, and the BUSP staff are delighted that he has been chosen for this award. At the recognition celebration, Pat Steele, Dean of the Libraries, will present Qun with a certificate and a monetary award of $100.

Ashley Hayden was chosen by your circulation supervisors as BUSP Student Employee of the Year. She may be an unfamiliar face to many of you because she does most of her work at the I.C. on Saturdays. Her positive work ethic, along with her ability and willingness to take on new tasks, such as opening and closing BUSP when Diana needs a deserved day away, has earned her this award. Ashley, who will be recognized in the April 1 edition of the IDS, will be graduating from SPEA this semester with a degree in Health Administration. She began her employment with us in December, 2004. BUSP is indeed fortunate to have had Ashley on its staff.

Earn While You Burn Calories

Low on cash? Worried about getting into that bikini this year? Is your only six-pack in the fridge? No worries, because it's true: BUSP WILL PAY YOU TO GET INTO SHAPE! The Stack Maintenance Method is an all-around fitness program that includes step aerobics, strength training, and flexibility training. You'll see results with just one hour or two a week, but you can increase your gain by doing more. See your supervisor if you need more details.

So why exactly are we moving nearly all the books in our stacks?

This is a good question! We're spending time and energy (and getting some exercise) moving the books to prepare ourselves for the major remodeling in store for BUSP. Phase I of the remodeling may begin as early as this summer. Take a few minutes to talk with your supervisor about the good things to come. And be sure to take a look at the plans posted on the hallway wall across from Terry's and Steven's offices.

A new habit!

What's Up With BUSP has several purposes: 1) to give you information you need in order to perform your job, 2) stimulate and encourage communication between BUSP employees, and 3) allow us to have a little fun.

So remember: From now on, clock in to work at BUSP, then check the blog.

One more time now: Clock in to work at BUSP. Check blog. And do leave a comment as the need and mood strikes you.
