Buley Library is now in the new addition (with its entrance facing the Adanti Student Center)

The bound journals, the jouvenile coolection and the oversized books are in open stacks now.

Gound floor: Serials (current & bound), (micro collection), ERIC (on microfiche).

First floor: Circulation desk, reference desk, first part of the reference collection and my office -122F :)

Second floor: Continuation of the reference collection, indexes, beginning of the circulation collection

Third floor: Continuation of circulation collection, oversized books, juvenile collection, Learning Resource Center (media collection, curriculum lab), special collection (partial), director's office

Fourth floor: Computer labs, Information & Library Science offices

E-reserve (The Circulation/Reserve Desk is now located at the far end of the main floor)

If you plan to put your readings/books on e-reserve, bring a xeroxed copy of the document to the library circulation department a couple of weeks before the assignment is given. Your students will be able to access it online from anywhere. (All they will need is a library pin number)

Databases

Infotrac has been renamed to General OneFile

Professional Collection is now Educator's Reference Complete.

XReferPlus is called Credo now. It's a set of reference e-books with online access to 150+ reference books.

Netlibrary is a database for E-books in all subject areas. Feel free to check it out on subjects of your interests.

Lexis/Nexis is no longer available. You can use Westlaw instead. You have to agree to terms every time you enter the database. Click on the LAW tab to search for federal and state cases and statutes. Also contains full text law reviews, flow charts of cases, American Jurisprudence 2nd (AmJur) and American Law Reports (ALR). Click on the NEWS & BUSINESS tab to search for news and business newspaper, journal and magazine, and newswire articles.

Reminder

If you have any books/media orders for the library, this is a good time to forward that information through your department liaison/dean to me.
