Library Study Rooms

I just want to remind everyone about our study rooms and how they are used. We currently have two study rooms that are also viewing rooms for students that need to watch videos for class. Since our videos are checked out for only two hours and have to stay in the library, the students that need to watch videos take precedence over the students just wanting to study.

We also have a study room that is specifically for slides and models. This is brand new this year and the first time that these students have had a place to study. The only time that this room can be used for general study is when there are no tests or quizzes that the A&P students need to study for. If you want to use this study room for general study purposes, please come to the library front desk first and ask.

It would be awesome if we had study rooms available in the library for all that needed them. Right now there are study rooms in the gym area available if all the library study rooms are in use.

I just want to thank the students that have been so cooperative about giving up a study room to students that take precedence. I have had a lot of students that have been very kind, understanding, and gracious. That makes working here a true blessing! I hope that you all have a great weekend!

Long Time

Well it has officially been over two months since my last blog and I did exactly what I said I wasn't going to do, which is start something and then not keep it up to date. Work here has been very busy and I have had to let a few things go to get other things done. Work still hasn't slowed down much, but I decided that I did need to update you all on what is going on.

Printing - If you are trying to print and can't there are two things that could be wrong. The first is that you are not logged into the computer. When you sit down at the computer you need to logon to Windows by using your ID# as the username and your Blackboard/Netmail password as the password. If you are logged into the computer, and still can't print, then you probably don't have money in your account. Be sure and tell me (Holli the Librarian) or Peggy (IT Person) that you want to add money to your account. You don't actually need cash in hand to do this. Just tell us the amount that you want added and you will get a bill for it later. The money carries over each semester.

Several students believe that they can have a negative balance in their printing account and that they will just be billed for the amount that they "charge." This is not the case you actually have to tell us to put money on your account. If you guys have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me or Peggy about it.

I hope that you all have a great end of semester and I will be adding posts to my blog hopefully every day. Take care and see you all in the library.
