Comments Off on Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity

By Scott Pfitzinger, February 4, 2009 3:30 pm

All faculty and staff are invited to the Opening Reception of the 8^th annual Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity.

The Reception will be held on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009, in the Irwin Library atrium. Hors d’ouevres, wine, music, and conversation will begin at 5:00pm, followed at about 6:30pm by a featured lecture by Paul Valliere on his current research: “Called Together? Decision-Making in Church and University.” Altogether an excellent way to spend the early part of an evening. You can even still go out to another event or activity later in the evening.

Please note the new time, which is an hour earlier than in previous years.

Comments Off on Library Listservs

By Scott Pfitzinger, January 29, 2009 8:22 am

I would like to remind everyone about our various library listservs and announce a small change in their configuration.

The Library group (library2@butler.edu) is for emails that need to go to all library staff (Irwin and Science). Technically, this isn’t a listserv but an Outlook “Group.”

librarians@listserv.butler.edu is the listserv to use for communications that need to go to all the librarians (Science and Irwin).

lib-rd@listserv.butler.edu is specifically for the Reference Desk. Because of all the changes we’ve been making in our Reference Services, I will be removing most of the librarians from this listserv and adding the students and part-time staff who work at the Reference Desk in Irwin Library. The focus will be on actual operational issues, so it won’t be relevant to those who don’t physically work at the Desk.

If you’re a librarian who has gotten used to using the “Reference Desk” listserv for emailing all the librarians, please begin using the Librarians one that was actually created for that purpose. It will
soon be the only one that does that.

Thanks much.
Scott

Comments Off on Outlook Calendars

By Scott Pfitzinger, January 13, 2009 10:23 am

This is a reminder regarding how we are now using Outlook Calendars in the library.

Personnel Calendar – only for
irregular exceptions to your regular schedule (sick days, out of
town, personal days, etc.)
Library Schedule – only for
scheduling library rooms
Reference Desk Calendar – only for posting scheduled on-call hours and substitutes
Personal Calendar (the one attached to your email) – for all personal
appointments, classes, meetings, etc., both regular and irregular, and for any
personal appointments that you wish to keep private

It is important that you put appointments on your Personal Calendar so that your colleagues can more easily schedule meetings with you. Remember that anything you want to keep personal you can mark Private, which will hide all details except that you’re busy at that time.

Thanks very much.
Scott
