Announcing the SEVENTH ANNUAL Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity!
The Celebration is an exhibit hosted by Irwin Library throughout the
month of February to highlight the scholarly and creative activities of
Butler University faculty and staff. We encourage you to contribute anything that has been published, performed, displayed, etc., in the last year, whether the topic is professional or personal.
This exhibit is especially for new
works that have been published or created during the last year (since
the last Celebration), but works of a substantive or important nature
that are slightly older are also welcome. If you are new to Butler and
your work has never been exhibited in the Celebration before, you are
encouraged to contribute it regardless of age.

What are LibGuides?
LibGuides can be subject guides, info portals, class guides, community guides, research tips, or useful resources on any other topic.
In January of 2008, LibGuides will be replacing the Subject Resource Guides with better-organized, more dynamic and flexible collections of links, book lists, research help, multimedia, RSS feeds, search results, and other information useful to faculty and students alike.
The LibGuides system combines the best features of social networks, wikis, bookmarks and blogs to help librarians share knowledge and promote library resources to the community.
LibGuides also integrates with Facebook, where information is instantly available via the LibGuides app!

Do you use the Google toolbar in your web browser?
Would you like a button to add that takes you right to the library catalog?
Now you can have one! Just click this link to add our new Google toolbar button. It will give you a confirmation pop-up, explaining that there’s a privacy concern–namely, that your search results will be sent to hickory.palni.edu, but that’s just where our catalog is located, so no worries.
(If you need the Google Toolbar, here’s a link.)
A common method of working on papers is to email the document to yourself and then open it from your email. While this method does work, PLEASE NOTE that you cannot just click “Save” when you’ve opened an email attachment. That will only save the document in a TEMP folder which will disappear once you log off, meaning YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WORK.
If you are opening a document you sent yourself via email, PLEASE save it to BUFiles first and only then start working on it. That will ensure you don’t lose all the work you’ve done.
Better yet, simply work from BUFiles all the time. The only time you won’t have access is if you’re off campus, in which case we suggest using a USB Flash Drive. If you do choose to use email, remember that files opened directly from an email attachment will open via a TEMP folder and clicking “Save” will NOT save it the way you want.
