Breakfast with the Library
As a thank you to the students, faculty and staff who use our services, a free Breakfast to Go was provided by Butler Libraries. Students were invited to grab a juice/water and a granola bar pack on their way to class.

A congratulations goes out to students:
Emily Stewart
Jarron Lincoln
who won the Project SAILS Assessment drawing being held in conjunction with students who are participating in the Project SAILS (Student Assessment of Information Literacy Skills) test. To better understand students’ research skills, the Library is conducting this 30 minute, multiple-choice test in selected first-year and senior level classes. The aggregate data obtained from this assessment will help the Library determine future directions with classroom library instruction and reference services.
A thank you goes out to all the students who have taken the test and to the faculty who have allowed us to conduct the test in their classes or via outside class participation.
Congratulations winners! We will have two more drawings announced when the test closes, February 8.
-Sally Neal
Assistant Dean for Public Services
