Would you like to find out what books have recently been added to the library catalog at Butler? Visit the library home page and click on “New Titles in our Catalog.”
You can enter search terms like a word in the title or the author’s
first or last name, or even part of the LC call number, and you can
sort by a variety of categories. For instance, a search term of ML will
give you all the literature on music that we’ve gotten in the last X
months.
As of now, wildcards (such as * or ?) are unavailable when searching
for new materials in the library, but if you just enter part of the
author’s name or a word from the title, it will display every record
that contains that fragment. Examples: the term “market” gives us
marketing, marketplace, etc.; “smi” yields authors with the name smith
or smit, or titles with the word blacksmith or dismiss.
The printers in
the Reference Department of Irwin Library now feature printing on both
sides of the page (duplex printing). If you would like to print
using only one side of the page, see the instructions posted next to
the machines in the Reference area.

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.
