What’s New at the Libraries
 

New look & functionality for Blais &
for the Interlibrary Loan request form

When you search the catalog or place an interlibrary loan request, you may notice that these web pages are a bit different from what you’re used to. For more information, contact your Librarian Subject Specialist.

Presentation practice space

If you or your students need a place to practice a PowerPoint or other type of presentation for a class, meeting, or conference, you can reserve Keck 2 in Honnold/Mudd. Reservations may be made up to three days in advance. For more information, contact Gale Burrow.

Food & beverage policy changes
in Honnold/Mudd

Perhaps you have already taken advantage of or heard from your students about the more relaxed food and beverage policy in Honnold/Mudd. You may now bring in beverages in most covered containers, including Starbucks coffee cups, and you may have personal size snack foods in the building.

Quiet study areas identified
in Honnold/Mudd

The 4th floor of Honnold/Mudd has been designated a quiet study area. Signs have been posted throughout the building to alert students to the availability of such a space and to remind anyone on the 4th floor that they should refrain from cell phone use and conversation on that floor.

Lockers for short term storage

Fifteen lockers are available in Honnold/Mudd for times when you’re working in the library, need to leave for a short while, and don’t want to have to take everything away with you. Keys for the lockers may be checked out at the Services Desk.

Meebo, for easy instant messaging
to librarianchat without an account

You can now chat with us (librarianchat) using Meebo as well as from your aim, Yahoo, msn, or GoogleTalk instant messaging accounts. Meebo allows those who don’t have an instant messaging account to chat. Look for the Meebo message window on the Ask Us page and several other pages of the Libraries web site.
