While furniture, computers, and final touches are still coming, Irwin Library and the Butler University College of Education are building an Education Commons environment in the lower level of Irwin Education students to use for their study and research. The northwest corner of the lower level of Irwin now houses the Library’s education book and journal collection as well as the Curriculum Resource Center materials. In the coming weeks, furniture, computers, and a podcasting room will be installed.
Know that all students are welcome to use this reconfigured and updated area along with the Education students!
Can color make you motivated to study or research? Check out some
painting that has occurred in the Irwin Library over the summer. See if
you can find our new green and yellow walls….
What has been happening while you were away for the summer? Plenty! Here is a listing of new databases that Butler Libraries has acquired:
Film & Television Literature Index Full Text – locate scholarly articles on specific film & television topics with this resource
Wall Street Journal
PressDisplay – PDF full-text of international newspapers from the past 60 days; has foreign-language translation capabilities!
Web of Science Citation databases – find out who else has cited a particular article and look up these articles
You can access these resources by selecting ‘Databases’ off the Libraries’ homepage: www.butler.edu/library, then following the ‘Full Alphabetical Database List’ link.
Rumor has it that Butler Libraries hopes to capture the many new faces of Butler’s incoming freshmen on its Facebook page? Why? To find out, search for ‘Butler Libraries’ on Facebook.
As part of the Welcome Week activities, the Irwin Library will be holding an Open House on Sunday, August 24 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. After you walk through the Resource Fair tent, also a part of the Welcome Week activities, stop by to enjoy a delicious ice cream sandwich and meet us!
