Halloween Treats

The staff saved their creativity this year for treats rather than costumes - yum!

Closed on Labor Day

WTS will be closed on September 5th for Labor Day. Enjoy the holiday!

WTS closing early

It is now over 90 degrees in our office and we're all starting to suffer, so we're closing a bit early today - 4:00 p.m. Central time.

If the cooling system isn't able to reduce the temperatures in our office soon, we may have to close early for the next few days. Please stay tuned in case we have to further reduce our hours.

Thanks - and we hope everyone out there is staying cool!

Hot in Here

WTS is heating up. Literally.

Due to a chilled water equipment failure and shortage, over 40 buildings on the west side of the UW-Madison campus have had their air conditioning shut off since yesterday morning, including Wendt Commons Library where WTS is located.

There's never a dull moment at WTS....

I scream, you scream....

Photos from the WTS Ice Cream Social. Wish you could all taste the deliciousness....

Thanks to our students Bridget and Alex for letting us post their pictures!

WTS Welcomes Rachel Watters as New Director

Rachel Watters has been appointed as Director of Wisconsin TechSearch (WTS). Deborah Helman, Director of Wendt Commons, says, "I believe her leadership ability will help position WTS to take advantage of new opportunities and build upon the outstanding service that WTS currently provides."

Rachel has worked at WTS as a Resource Sharing Librarian since 2002. In addition to providing outstanding document delivery services to WTS clients, she has lead WTS marketing efforts, including the implementation of the CashNet service that allows WTS to take many forms of credit card payments, as well as contributing to many service and work flow improvements. When she's not at WTS, Rachel and her partner Erik enjoy caring for their two young sons, Jack and Nate, working on real estate investments, and visiting their families in northern Wisconsin.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Rachel as she transitions into her new role.
