Kia ora koutou,
Today’s Week of the Geek event is a treasure hunt! Students will have to go to Central (levels 4 and 11), MB and EPS to solve clues, so if you see groups of students running around, this could be why. There will be designated staff members at each location to help out.
The treasure hunt will run from 1-3, and we still have plenty of room for more participants if any students are asking about it.
Kia ora koutou,
This year the majority of Library 101 courses are being offered online, via Adobe Connect. If you come across any students asking where the workshops are being held, the following URLs (which can also be used on mobile via the Adobe Connect app) will allow them access to the sessions. Participants who log in with just the link might find they are missing workshop handouts that are sent with the LibCal enrolment email.

As per usual, if there’s anything you would like us to include in next months edition, please send it our way!
Kia ora koutou,
We’re working hard at getting the library’s first Week of the Geek organised, and we would like to ask for some creative assistance/input from our esteemed colleagues.
One of the events we are planning is a treasure hunt, and we are in need of interesting (and/or useful) locations to send students to. As a relatively new member of the library, I’m sure there’s numerous places on campus I don’t know about. I have heard rumours about a dinosaur lurking in Biology somewhere?
If you could comment with some of your favourite UC spots, and perhaps a clue or two we could give to students to lead them there, it would be much appreciated!
Okay, so it’s not December any more. Not even close, really. However, your editors made the executive decision that the content isn’t too out of date, and you’ll hopefully still enjoy it!
Pānui – December 2016

As we’re already 10 days into January, please do send us any content that you would like in the next issue soon! We’d love to hear stories (or see pictures!) of cool places you went, or fun things you did, over the Christmas period.
Kia ora,
We hope you enjoy your brand new issue of Pānui!
Pānui – November 2016

Next months issue will have a festive theme to it, so be on the look out for a post soon asking for some of your holiday traditions, stories or catastrophe’s!
EDIT: Rebecca sent us this email, which I thought was an excellent addition:
I was reading the Bodleian oath, and wondered if your team knew that their library doubled as the Hogwarts library? It was on our Twitter page so I have scheduled it for our Facebook page, which will go up shortly. You can take a virtual tour: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/0/take-a-360-tour-of-the-bodleian-hogwarts-library-in-the-harry-po/?platform=hootsuite. A very long URL but a fun fact!
Your October issue of Pānui has arrived!

As ever, submissions for next months issue are not only welcomed, but strongly encouraged! Our October issue will be a little spookier than normal, so if you can think of any stories that fit the bill (and are 250 words or under) please sent them along. We’re also big fans of pictures.
My sister posted this video to Facebook yesterday and I thought that those of you who have never experienced a colder climate might find it interesting! When it gets really cold out if you throw a cup of boiling water into the air it instantly turns into snow. As Saturday was a the coldest day of the winter so far in Toronto, at a frigid temperature of -36C, it was the perfect conditions to do it.
