Reminder from the Node
From Node monster Meg Grant:
When you finish this semester's projects and papers, please remember to return any materials you've borrowed from the Node. If you have books out from previous terms, it would be especially helpful to have those back. If you absolutely need to hang on to something, please let me know by e-mail (meg at linguist) or leave a note with your name and the book's title and author in a Point of Node Return.
