Printing in the Libraries

There is one primary printer for each of the two libraries.

If you’re in
Irwin Library, you should print to IL_120_1.

If you’re in the
Science Library, you should print to HB_201_1.

All “lab”-type computers throughout the libraries should automatically print to these. Other printer numbers are for printers that are in various offices in the libraries and are not intended for public use.

Thank you.

To answer a frequently asked question, every lab computer in the Irwin Library building will print to the IL_120_1 printers in the Reference Department, no matter what floor the computers are physically located.

Also, to turn off the duplex printing, here’s the shortcut version: Click print, click the Properties button next to the printer name, click the tab entitled Finishing, UNcheck the box next to “Print on Both Sides.” Click OK.

Printing PDF Files

Having trouble printing a PDF file? Does it keep coming out black, even though the original isn’t black? Try this:

Print the PDF file as an image. Click the Print button on the PDF toolbar like you normally would. Then click the button that says ‘Advanced’ and check the box next to ‘Print As Image.’

While it will take a little longer to print, it usually solves the problem.

EBSCO – Saving Your Searches

How would you like to go into an EBSCO Database and not have to re-create your search?

EBSCO Databases allow you to save your search results once you’ve created a profile in their system. That is DIFFERENT from your Butler profile. It involves actually creating a new account with EBSCO. You will use that account to access your saved search results. Go into any EBSCO database and click on “Sign In to My EBSCOhost” to get started.

Once you’ve done that and created your own profile in EBSCOhost, you can save and reexamine your searches in “My Folder.”

If you have any questions or problems using “My EBSCOhost,” please contact a Reference Librarian.

How would you like to be notified whenever there’s a new message posted to DawgBlog? It’s easy! In fact, you have a couple of options.

If you use an email aggregator like Bloglines or Google’s Personalized Home Page, you can grab the RSS feed from our home page and add it to your collection of feeds. You can even subscribe to a specific category, if you’d rather. The RSS links for those are next to each category in the lower left sidebar.

Don’t do RSS yet? Would you rather get a good old email whenever there’s a new post? You’ll have to be logged in to DawgBlog (using your standard Butler ID and password), but after that it’s easy. Just click on the “Email” link in the top left corner of the screen and choose whether you want notifications when there new posts and comments or just new posts. Then sit back and enjoy!
