* If you're tired of having to remember a different user ID and passwords for everything, University Libraries has upgraded Interlibrary Loan to use your MyWSU ID and password. Just complete a short re-registration form the next time you need to request an item. Any previous request history will be merged with the new account within 48 hours. For more information, call 978-3167 or visit http://illiad.wichita.edu/illiad/FAQ.html.

* Remember to submit your campus events to the online calendar for WSU at http://www.wichita.edu/calendarsubmit. Early entry is crucial to campus planners, campus media and statewide print and broadcast media, all of whom need to know the time, date, place and cost of any individual event.
