Comments Off on Duplex Printing Now the Default in Irwin Library!

By Scott Pfitzinger, September 13, 2005 7:10 am

The printers in
the Reference Department of Irwin Library now feature printing on both
sides of the page (duplex printing).  If you would like to print
using only one side of the page, see the instructions posted next to
the machines in the Reference area.

Comments Off on Usage Study

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 16, 2005 7:38 am

The Reference Department in the library is performing a Usage Study. We
are trying to track what materials are used from our Reference
Collection and how often they are used.

Please help us perform this study by not
reshelving books that use from the General Reference or Music Reference
collections. Instead, please leave them on a table for a librarian to
pick up. Those books will be scanned and documented before we reshelve
them.

Thanks for your help in allowing us to create a continually better and more relevant Reference section for you.

Comments Off on Ask A Librarian

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 12, 2005 6:08 am

You may have noticed on the Butler Libraries website that we now have a link called “Ask A Librarian.” This is an expansion on a function that we’ve had for quite a while.

If you have a reference or research question, you may now contact a
reference librarian quickly and easily by using this page. Methods
include telephone, email, and Instant Messenger. We are using
exclusively AOL Instant Messenger for our chat service at this time. If
you want to set up an AIM account, you don’t need to use AOL; you just
need to download the AIM client and create a screen name. Visit http://aim.com to get started.

Our screen name is “Butler RefLib” and you are encouraged to add us to
your Buddy List, so you can easily contact us whenever you have a
reference or research question.
