Ah, the first day of classes – where can one go to take a break from the flurry of first week stresses?  Stop in at one of the Butler Libraries! Besides using us to research and study, if you need a place to have a little “me” or down time, stop by either Irwin or the Science Library.  In the Irwin Library Browsing Room (off to the right as you walk in), you can flip through a current magazine, read a newspaper, or browse our current bestsellers shelf.  So, remember us as not only a place to study but to relax or take a break.

For new students, if you have any questions about where things are
located in either Irwin Library, the Science Library or on campus, don’t hesitate to ask at
the Reference Services desks. We expect these kind of directional and campus
information questions at the beginning of the academic year. By the way, did you
know that you can bring your Starbucks with you into the Libraries? We do allow
drinks (preferably covered) and food in the Library. So, munch away as you study; we just ask that you clean up after yourselves.

Welcome to the academic year, Butler students!  We look forward to assisting you in your academic studies.  -Sally Neal, Assistant Dean for Public Services, Butler Libraries

It was a success! At today’s New Student Library Open House, we had around 50 students volunteer to have their picture taken for the Libraries’ Facebook site to help spread the word about Butler Libraries’ services. Check out the ‘Got Library Information’
photo album on the Butler Libraries facebook site (www.facebook.com) to check out how they are helping to spread the word about the Libraries’ services…. Or, do you see yourself? Tag yourself so some of your new Butler
friends can see what we have to offer too!

Thank
you to those of you who volunteered. Butler students are great! -Sally Neal,
Assistant Dean for Public Services, Butler Libraries

Butler Libraries welcomed new students and their parents Sunday, August 24 with a Library Open House.  Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches were served and went fast with this hot Hoosier heat.  Over 500 families and students passed through Irwin Library’s doors.  We hope you had a chance to get to know us; we look forward to getting to know Butler’s first year students!  -Sally Neal, Assistsant Dean for Public Services, Butler Libraries

While furniture, computers, and final touches are still coming, Irwin Library and the Butler University College of Education are building an Education Commons environment in the lower level of Irwin Education students to use for their study and research.  The northwest corner of the lower level of Irwin now houses the Library’s education book and journal collection as well as the Curriculum Resource Center materials.  In the coming weeks, furniture, computers, and a podcasting room will be installed. 

Know that all students are welcome to use this reconfigured and updated area along with the Education students!
