Online leisure expurrt Alaska is available to answer questions about the library cat-alogue.

Alaska – better known on campus as – is joining the meow-velous team of librarians and staff to help answer student questions whether it be a litter-ature search, hunting for articles on growing better catnip or how to use the library cat-alogue to place a hold on books.

“We’re delighted to offer students purr-fect in-person and roaming services. Whether students are looking for a copy of A Tail of Two Kitties or Purride and Purrejudice, we have a range of exciting titles alongside renown authors such as William Shakespurr and Purrman Meowville.”

- Erin Howard, Director of Learning Services

In recognition of the fact that cats have much more creativity than artificial intelligence, the college is implementing the changes following a successful grant from the Feline Purrdagogical Institute of Research.

Due to public health restrictions and the fact the college has asked people not to encourage Sassy to enter buildings all of her participation will be entirely remote.
