Return or Renew Your Items Before Winter Break
Just a friendly reminder to return your books and DVDs before you leave for winter break. If you’d like to renew your items simply log-in to My Library Account to renew them online, or contact the Library Services Desk at 781.891.2168 or libraryservices@bentley.edu.
Studying in Progress…
It’s hard to believe that classes have ended and exam week is upon us. This means that many of you will retreat to the Bentley Library to seek out a quiet corner to study for finals and write your papers. It is important that we work together to maintain a quiet environment conducive to study.
Please, be mindful of your voices and courteous to the people working around you. If you do encounter a person or group that is disrupting the quiet you may approach a library staff member either in person or by sending an anonymous instant message via our Meebo chat widget. Simply go to the library’s home page, look for “I Want To...” and click on “Help Keep the Library Quiet!“. A library staff person will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you for your cooperation!

At the Art Gallery: Bentley’s Own Jim Morris
We are sad to say farewell to Jim Morris, Curator of the Caturano and Company Art Gallery, as he leaves on “career sabbatical”, but we are quite happy that his exhibit “MORRIX” will be on display in the gallery from December 6, 2010, until January 19, 2011.
As a tribute to Jim and the 16 years he’s served at Bentley, Student Affairs invites you to bid him adieu and well wishes for his next adventures. Join us on Thursday, December 16, from 4:30pm until 7:00pm for an Opening Reception and Farewell Bentley celebration.
MORRIX
Bentley was my day job, this is what I do.
Selected works made during, and sometimes influenced by, my Bentley years.
