Positions are available for students interested in working in the Information Commons during the 2010-2011 academic year. Interviews and hiring decisions are now being made and all positions will hopefully be filled before this semester is over.
Visit the Information Commons Mission page to learn details about the program and to read the job description and application instructions.
Check out the latest art exhibit on display in Irwin Library’s Collaborative Learning Space (1st floor, right quadrant area). It is part of the Butler Art Program’s “Tableaux to Go” exhibit. Defined, Tableaux to Go is:
“a campus-wide collaborative exhibition of student works from the courses: Introduction to Photography and Perspectives in the Creative Arts: Intro to Visual Art. When the pieces are exhibited together, a tableaux is created.”
Tableaux to Go is exhibited throughout campus. There are art pieces in: HRC, Lilly, Irwin, Starbucks, Jordan, Holcomb, and Fairbanks.
To allow everyone the opportunity to cheer on the Bulldogs tonight (and to reduce your level of guilt for not working on your papers), both libraries will be closing early tonight. The Science Library at 8:00 pm and Irwin Library at 9:00 pm.
GO DAWGS!!
This week Irwin Library will be hosting the first of several Early Registration Fairs. These are primarily for incoming students and their parents to learn more about Butler.
The Fair will begin at 9:20am and will last until 11:00 this Friday.
Monday, 3/22/2010, 1:00-2:00 pm, JH041
with Dr. James F. McGrath and Brad Matthies
This session will introduce faculty and other interested parties to the Internet Archive, located at archive.org. This site includes two major features that are useful to academics, each suggested by its name.
First, the site has an archive of the internet. Most if not all of us have found useful information online, only to go back later and find that it had vanished. Using what is referred to as the “Wayback Machine,” the site allows you to enter a URL and in most cases find cached copies of the pages from the site in question. For those creating web links for use by students, it is possible to create links to the internet archive’s static copy of a site and maximize the chances that the page linked to will remain as it is.
Second, the site has an archive of out-of-print books and audio recordings which can be embedded into a web page or downloaded. Some of the same books are available on Google Books, but many others are not. In addition to books and journals in a number of convenient formats, there are classical recordings and much else.
The session, led by Dr. James F. McGrath from the Department of Philosophy and Religion in collaboration with Brad Matthies from the library, will introduce the site, its use, and the resources available there. Attendees will have the opportunity to try out the site and look for resources of the particular sort most relevant to their own needs and interests.
Light refreshments will be provided.
