Comments Off on C-Club

Tonight I had a question about how late the C-Club is open. It took some looking around on the Butler website, but I finally found a page called Atherton Services – http://www.butler.edu/involvement/?pg=708 which said:

Food favorites such as Noble Romans Express, Grille Works, Freshens, and Montague’s Deli make the C-Club a popular hangout.
Hours: Mon-Fri 7:30am-10:30pm, Sat 8am-10:30pm, Sun 11am-10:30pm.

Now we know. 🙂

There are many ways to celebrate, so don’t let the month go by without playing a piano, making sure your baby is safe, being kind to a writer, or eating a potato. 🙂

Comments Off on Scanner Computer Down

The computer in Reference that has the scanner attached is DOWN. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Apparently the problems that showed up during the summer are still reoccurring. We just might have to get a whole new machine. For the near future, the machine is unavailable and so is the scanner. I’ll pass along updates as I get them.

Comments Off on Reference Services starting up

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 26, 2008 8:12 am

Classes begin tomorrow (Wed., August 27) and so do On-Call Reference Services. This week we’ll just be working the desk from Noon to 5:00pm. If you’re scheduled for any part of 12:00-5:00 the rest of this week, please be available by phone and/or I.M.

The regular full Reference Desk and On-Call Schedule will begin next Tuesday, September 2, at 10:00am and the official schedule is on the Reference Desk Calendar on Outlook and on BUFiles at G:\Departments\Reference\FALL 2008 On-Call Schedule.xls.

We’ll work the process of requesting subs the same way as we did for working at the Desk. Just email the Reference Desk listserv (lib-rd@listserv.butler.edu) and ask. Once someone has switched or taken your hours, please make sure that the Reference Desk Calendar (on Outlook) is updated for your shift, from something like “Scott” to something like “Brad for Scott.”

If you have any problems with the Reference Desk Calendar on Outlook (it’s one of the Public Calendars like our Personnel Calendar), please let Scott know.

Thanks.
Scott

Comments Off on Reference Desk Schedule

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 13, 2008 10:10 am

Just wanted to clarify some dates and times for those of you involved with the Reference Desk.

We’ll plan on staffing the Reference Desk beginning on Wed., Aug. 27, the first day of classes. This will be only during the day at first, meaning 10am to 5pm. On-call librarians will be asked to begin their time slots that day, even though we can expect little to no need during the first week. This will allow us to provide assistance especially to new students who may need directions, computer assistance, etc.

Evening Reference hours will begin on Sunday, Aug. 31, with regular 10am – 10pm hours from then on.

Thanks for your help in providing excellent service to our students (and everyone else). 🙂
