To all:
Business students who are looking for industry statistics (or similar
phraseology) with which to compare to a particular business (or
businesses) should see:
Industry Norms & Key Business Ratios: REF DESK HF 5681 .R25 I53 03-04
Despite what students may have heard (or misinterpreted) we do not have industry norms/ratios in electronic format.
However, you can compare company to company norms & ratios in
Research Insight, and to a lesser extent in Market Insight (peer group,
etc.). See Business Databases.

Want to listen to music online? For free? We have added a database to our collection of academic databases that allows that very thing!
The Naxos Music Library is an online collection of music that includes the complete Naxos, Marco Polo, and Dacapo catalogues of over 85,000 tracks. Genres covered include Classical, Jazz, World, Folk and Chinese music.
The database also provides access to notes on the works being played
as well as biographical information on composers or artists. All these
are accessible from computers on and off campus by signing on with your Butler user name and password.
The subscription currently limits us to 3 simultaneous users, so if
you cannot get in, please try again in a few minutes. Also, when you’re
done listening, please click “Log Off” before you close the window, so
another user can get in more quickly.
If you have any questions about Naxos, please contact our Reference Desk or Sheri Stormes, our Music & Fine Arts Librarian.
From 1
p.m. Fri., Sept. 2 through Mon., Sept. 5, the Butler
Libraries’ Catalog will provide ONLY Keyword searching. This is to
allow for some fixes involving Browse searching.
You can use Keyword to search for phrases with quotation marks around
the words, such as “catcher in the rye” — if you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact the Reference Desk at 940-9235.

Just FYI for those of you who interact with the public, our Labor Day hours have changed.
The Science Library will be opening at 10:00am instead of Noon. Irwin Library will remain Noon to 8:00pm.
Signs and the website have been updated.
If you have used the Reference Department computers recently, you will
have noticed that we now have two new printers! Gone are the old
printers, with their problems and difficulties and slowness; now we
have two FAST printers!
As referenced in a previous blog post, these printers are not only
blazingly fast, but they can print duplex. You can save yourself the
weight and the library the paper cost by printing duplex whenever you
can. Be sure to let the printers finish printing before grabbing the
papers, because sometimes it sucks the paper back in to print on the
other side.
Because they print quickly and duplex, if you’re looking for your print
job in the pile, please remove the pile from the printer output tray
before searching for yours. Otherwise you may end up getting someone
else’s print job out of order and mixed up with yours.
Thanks for helping us keep a useful new tool working well.
