As part of her rethinking of the use of the library, RC Librarian and former University of Minnesota employee Kate Brooks has set up an inter-library loan request system for the school. Students can head online and fill out a form to request a book or article from a wide variety of academic libraries. The books will be delivered to the SPA library, and most articles can be e-mailed directly to the student. Many of the books come from a University of Minnesota-based database known as Minitex. Brooks created the program to increase the number of research-type books available to students. “I knew that there was some kind of interlibrary loan system in place, but I thought that it could be made easier for students and faculty,” Brooks said. “Hopefully that does the trick.”

In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)
