Butler Libraries have recently subscribed to a new online database. This one is a collection of over 950 full-text, peer-reviewed journals!
The ScienceDirect College Edition Health and Life Sciences Journal Collection is the world’s largest electronic collection of full text and
bibliographic information about science, technology, and medicine.
Clicking the link in our list of Indexes and Databases will take you to a list of all the journals that are available in this collection. To browse them, just click the title you’re interested in. Otherwise, you can do a QuickSearch by typing your search term(s) in the box at the top. If you want to do a more “advanced” search, click the green Search button at the top of the screen.

As has also become tradition, we will be offering FREE coffee, tea, and cocoa in Irwin Library to aid in students’ studying processes. These “study aids” will be available the evenings of Tuesday through Thursday this week and also on Sunday night (the nights we’re open until 2:00am), beginning at 7:00 pm and running until about midnight.
The Reference Department has set up a new printing station near the two printers. This table is for storing print jobs that were not immediately picked up and is also for equipment like the three-hole punch, stapler, heavy-duty stapler (40-90 pages), and tray for scrap paper. The recycle bin and garbage can are right next to this table, so all your printing needs can be handled in one place, while at the same time helping eliminate the crowds digging through the piles at the printers.
As always, print jobs that are not picked after one hour will be recycled (2-sided printing) or put in the scrap paper tray (1-sided printing).
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!
No longer do you have to enter your Butler University ID and password to get to DawgBlog. It’s open to the world!
It is our goal to contribute to the community of libraries that are blogging by having an open site. And also to make it easier for our students and faculty/staff to get to our library blog. No more logging in–just point and click!
