Comments Off on EBSCO, .pdfs, and FireFox

FYI: Earlier today we were unable to oben a .pdf file from EBSCO while using Firefox.

However, the same file opened fine from Internet Explorer.

So, if one fails try the other!

Comments Off on Mapping Network Drives

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 29, 2005 4:58 am

Since getting new computers, or since some of the changes made on
Butler’s computer networks, you may find yourself needing to create a
link to a place on the network. For example, you may want to add a link
to BUFiles and the forms contained therein. Here’s how.

Start My Computer or Windows Explorer. Click on Tools – Map Network Drive.
Set the Letter to whatever you want. Maybe F: for forms. Doesn’t
matter, as long as you can remember it. In the “Folder” textbox, type \\bufiles\general\forms if you want to create a link to the Forms folder. Or maybe \\ben\library
if you want to create a link to the Library folder. Make sure you leave
the “Reconnect at logon” box checked, so it will be there next time you
want it. Then just click Finish and you’re done! 

It should open up automatically, and then next time you go to My
Computer or Windows Explorer, you’ll see that letter there, all ready
to take you to your new shortcut!

Comments Off on Library Website Update Delayed

By Scott Pfitzinger, August 1, 2005 9:09 am

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, the move of the library
website to the new Content Management System has been delayed. Due to
circumstances beyond our control, we will be waiting until January 2006
to release the new design of the library website, which will use the
Content Management System that all of the Butler websites will be
moving to.

For this fall, we will be merely making some minor adjustments to
the existing website and adding links to the blog (DawgBlog) and the
wiki (Butler_WikiRef). Your “normal ways” of getting to things on the
website will not be changing.

Thank you for your patience and your feedback.
