Comments Off on Printing PDF Files

By Scott Pfitzinger, March 31, 2006 10:35 am

If you’ve worked the Reference Desk much, you may have had a student that is having trouble printing a PDF file. Usually the problem is that is keeps coming out black, even though the original isn’t black.

Here’s a workaround you can try:

Print the PDF file as an image.
Click the Print button on the PDF toolbar like you normally would. Then
click the button that says ‘Advanced‘ and check the box next to ‘Print
As Image.’

While it will take a little longer to print, it usually solves the problem.

Comments Off on EBSCO – Saving Your Searches

By Scott Pfitzinger, March 30, 2006 2:09 pm

How would you like to go into an EBSCO Database and not have to re-create your search?

EBSCO Databases allow you to save your search results once you’ve created a profile in their system. That is DIFFERENT from your Butler profile. It involves actually creating a new account with EBSCO. You will use that account to access your saved search results. Go into any EBSCO database and click on “Sign In to My EBSCOhost” to get started.

Once you’ve done that and created your own profile in EBSCOhost, you can save and reexamine your searches in “My Folder.”

If you have any questions or problems using “My EBSCOhost,” please contact a Reference Librarian.

Comments Off on Equipment in Room 007

By Scott Pfitzinger, March 28, 2006 12:27 pm

Because

1. Room 007 is now kept unlocked for classroom or group study use, because
2. that room is not closely monitored, and because
3. the computer in that room has been upgraded, complete with flat-panel monitor,

it has been deemed careless and unwise to leave the computer and other equipment just sitting there unattended.

Therefore, the computer and the accompanying monitor, projector, and other equipment have been placed on a cart and are being stored in the Government Documents Storage Room across the hall, Room 006. The overhead projector is on a second cart and is being left in Room 007, along with the boom box that one of the regular teachers has made arrangements to keep there.
