The Butler Libraries have updated their list of databases that have mobile-friendly access. Almost all of the EBSCO databases have mobile versions of their search pages, but many new databases have joined them.
Some of the additions include:
- American Chemical Society
- JSTOR
- PubMed
- RILM
- Web of Science (Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and Science Citation Indexes)
- WorldCat
Use any of our database lists (http://www.butler.edu/library/research/databases/) and click the mobile icon 
next to the database name. Most of these links go directly to the mobile version of the database, but several take you to the page that has links to download the apps for that database.
The Butler Libraries website is now available in a scaled-down mobile-friendly version!
As Butler University has upgraded its mobile, app-based site, the libraries have joined them. Try us now at http://m.butler.edu/Library or use the Butler site, http://m.butler.edu/ and tap “Library.”

Have you ever wondered what your professor does when s/he is not teaching you or grading papers?
The Celebration of Scholarship & Creative Activity is an exhibit in Irwin Library that runs through February 28. There are tables around the main floor of Irwin Library where you can see (and read) books, articles, music scores, posters, programs, etc., that your professors have written/published/performed in the last year.
Stop into Irwin Library and look up your professor! The printed bibliographies can serve as an Exhibit Guide to make it easy for you to find people.
