One of the coolest things about being an Osher member is having nearly the same benefits as regular full time students—using the library with full borrowing privileges and parking on campus just to name two. Another benefit of Osher membership is the ability to receive daily SpiderBytes of events on the UR campus. Take a look below at a snap shot of a typical SpiderByte—this one is from Thursday, October 26 and is one of several such free events on campus in that day’s SpiderBytes.

Years ago when I first began working at UR, I was delighted to read in SpiderBytes that one of my favorite writers was giving a talk at UR. I was able to attend and found a delightful and intimate gathering in which we had opportunities to engage in conversation with the writer—what a treat!
Do you know how to get SpiderBytes? It’s easy, and takes just a few minutes to set up a UR network account, using instructions that were provided when you joined or renewed your Osher Institute members. Not sure where those instructions are? No worries! Just click on this link: http://spcs.richmond.edu/osher/membership/handbook.html and look on the last page for simple instructions for setting up your UR computer network account, once done will automatically subscribe you to receive SpiderBytes each day to your home email address if you select that option in the setup procedure (recommended!).
And while you are looking at the Osher Member Handbook, I hope you’ll read the entire handbook—it’s full of helpful information. Better yet, sign up to attend one of the Osher member orientation sessions held each semester and led by members of the Osher Membership Team. They are eager to help you make full use of your Osher membership. Enjoy!
