TGIF

Well it is Friday and I will be on vacation next week. Amanda and Sharron will both be here so if there are any problems, be sure and talk to one of them. I won't be checking my email as often, but I will be checking it periodically. I hope that all of you have a good week. Good luck to those who are doing presentations next week. I will see you all on October 1.

Research Assistance

Many of you are having research papers due very soon. I want to let you know that you can come into the library and ask for me to help you if you are having trouble finding articles. I will be on vacation next week, so if your paper is due soon, be sure and come to the library this week. You can set up an appointment with me, or if I am not busy I can help when you come in.

Remember that if you are also looking for books, and you are not finding what you need at our library, you can always request a book from another library in our consortium. It only takes 3-5 days for the book to get here and it does not cost you anything. Be sure and ask how to request books if you are needing help.

Remember that I am here to help in anyway while you do your research.

Class Software Update and Research Assistance

We are still having problems with some access to the class software. At first we thought it was a lab issue, and then we thought it was a student login issue. Right now we are not sure what is going on except that if you try to access the class software from any computer lab and it does not give you access to it, let me or Peggy know. Peggy is working on getting the issue cleared up. I just have to say that I am so glad that she is here, especially when these types of issues arise.

If you have any other issues come up, please let us know so we can get them fixed for you. Also I have noticed that a lot of you are having research assignments due within the next couple of weeks. I will be on vacation the week of September 24th so if you need help with finding research articles for your paper, be sure and come in this week to ask for help. You can always make an appointment, or if I am not busy, I will help you right away.

Class Software

Some of you may have realized that there are some problems accessing some of the class software from Computer Lab A. If you are having this problem, try one of the other computer labs. IT is aware of the problem and is working on getting it fixed. If you can't access the class software from any of the labs, then let me know, or let Peggy know. Thanks for all of your patience with the changes. Like I said yesterday once all the bugs are worked out, then it will be worth it. Hope you guys have a great day!

My first blog entry on this site

Hey it's great to finally find the time to start blogging. I have started numerous times and haven't kept up with it, but I resolve to keep at it this time around. Things are have been very busy in the library. Over the summer numerous changes have been made. We now have two study rooms in the library equipped with t.v.'s, vcr's, dvd players, computers, and dry erase boards. These rooms have been very popular since the start of school. I am glad so many of the students are using them. We also have a room for studying models and slides. Several students have been using this room with a test coming up in Anatomy and Physiology.

I hope that students will comment and give me feedback on the changes in the library. I know there have been some bugs with switching to how students login to computers, but in the long run it will make things easier and our IT staff is great at fixing all the little problems that keep popping up. If you see our new IT person in the halls, be sure and give her a big "thank you" for all the work she has done. We are so blessed to have her here!

Keep checking in to see what is going on here at the library and feel free to make any coments.
