Library this Thursday. An opening reception for this photo exhibit is being
held on Thursday, September 4 at 7:30 in the Browsing Room, 1st
floor, of Irwin Library. Jason Goldsmith, a faculty sponsor with the program,
organized the exhibit, which provides “19 ways of looking at Britain’s Lake
District” based on student photographs. Come and view the thought-provoking and
artistic photos the students took during this trip! Light refreshments will be
served.

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!
