Introducing the Cambridge Companions to Philosophy, Religion, & Culture!
The
Cambridge Companions series offers specially-commissioned collections
of essays which are intended to serve as reference works for an
inter-disciplinary audience of students and non-specialists. Addressing
topics and figures ranging from Plato through Kant to Habermas, and
philosophical movements such as the Scottish Enlightenment and German
Idealism, this online collection contains over 900 downloadable essays
taken from the Cambridge Companions to Philosophy, Religion and Culture
(more than 90 volumes). Each volume also includes a substantial bibliography and other elements such as glossaries and timelines.
Links to this database are available on our general Alphabetical List and also in the Subject List under Philosophy and Religious Studies.

The computer lab in the Reference Department of Irwin Library will soon be home for six new Macintosh computers. They will be part of the computer lab and will be located in the row along the windows. The date is not set yet, but the switch will be made this summer, making the new Macs available for use by the time the Fall 2007 semester begins.
As you’re all probably aware of,
we’ve been having some sporadic printing issues for the last couple weeks. This
has been because I.R. upgraded a print server and added the print drivers for
Windows Vista. Most of the time it’s been that print jobs got hung up in the
queue and eventually all came out. This morning we had different problems, with
print jobs going through the queue like normal but then
disappearing.
The current status is that they
have removed the Vista drivers and backed the
server to working with Windows 2000 and XP. The result is that everything seems
to be printing well now. However, if someone brings in a laptop that’s running
Vista and tries to print, they will probably
have problems using the printers. The best solution for now is that they email
the document to themselves and then log onto a lab pc and print it from there.
Not the best solution, but at least everyone on library machines can now print
again.
If you have ANY printing problems
now, please let me know about them so I can coordinate troubleshooting the
issue.
Thanks.
