After Teresa’s
instruction session I did a walk through CBA and had two professors inform me
that several of their students stated that they could not log into our
databases from off-campus this past weekend.
Unfortunately
the students did not pay attention to the nature of the error so I have no
information there. However, at least one has been able to log on from home in
the past but could not this time.
Anyhow, I
wanted to alert Scott to a potential problem and also flag those who work at our
service points in case they starts to get calls. Perhaps this was just a
hiccup?

As a general rule, we do allow faculty to check out Reference Books if they need to use them in their classes. If a faculty member requests such a use, please have them take the book to the Circulation Desk, where the book will get a record created “on the fly,” so we can have a record of the book being taken out (and by whom).
If a supervisor is not at the Circulation Desk, take down their name and the title and call number of the book and give those to Mary, Laina, or Anthony, who will create the record when they get back.
Want to find a book, but don’t know what libraries it’s in? Checked the Butler Library Catalog and couldn’t find that book or CD? Try OpenWorldCat.
WorldCat has been available to Butler students, faculty, and staff via the Library Website for quite a while. But now WorldCat is available to everyone via http://worldcat.org/. Just do a search like you normally would, type in your zip code, and they’ll show you libraries near you that own the item. “Books, videos, downloadable audiobooks… if it’s in a library near you, you can find it in WorldCat no matter where you are on
the Web.” You’ll even get links to the libraries’ websites and services like “Ask A Librarian.”
If you want to search Open WorldCat right from your browser, you can download one of their toolbars. You have the options of the WorldCat versions of the Yahoo Toolbar or Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer or a Firefox browser search extension. All of these include installation notes and “how to use” notes.
Reference Librarians:
There are still three sections of MG101 students who will have questions regarding their Individual Research Project (i.e., the CRITIC paper). To help them and you I have gathered all relevant resources here:
http://blue.butler.edu/~bmatthie/
Please refer them here; especially to the last section if they have writing/citing questions.
All remaining classes will receive a handout with this URL.
Thanks,
Brad
