From the Suggestion Box: Searching for DVDs

Please update the media search page for DVDs with more options to narrow searches more effectively. Thank you for your suggestion. We realize our current system is not all that functional for media. We have been testing an enhancement to our public catalog with the ability to limit by topic/headings, language, publication date, and possibly...

From the Suggestion Box: Book Suggestions

There are several books which I think the library should consider purchasing. The Post Secret book series compiled by Frank Warren famous for ‘Post Secret’ would be fun to have on the shelves, as would the book titles The Art of looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher, an interesting art book I just learned about through...

1) In addition to having a "cash to deacon card" machine near the circulation desk, I think we should have one in the Cafe 24 Hour Room. This way, people can easily put money on their card if the machines need exact change or if they need to pay for prints. 2) I don't know...

From the Suggestion Box: Thank You for Wake the Library

Thank you to everyone for keeping the coffee, sugar, and creamer filled and fresh!! You all save my life by keeping the library open all night. I am grateful to whoever it is that works to help us graduate students have a place to do our work at 3 in the morning. Thank you again!!!...

From the Suggestion Box: ARTSTOR

New database suggestion: ARTSTOR (http://www.artstor.org/); as an art major, it is often very difficult to find images of particular works of art or architecture. Databases like Grove Online just do not cut it beyond general reference use, especially for foreign artists and architects. Anyway, just a thought, I completely understand there are budget restrictions and... Continue reading “From the Suggestion Box: ARTSTOR”

Why is the library only open until 1 am on Saturday the 8th? Most of us have exams the following Monday and will have no where to study once the library closes. We have used all the resources we can muster to stay open until 3:00 am during the week and 1:00 am on the... Continue reading “From the Suggestion Box: A Recent Comment”

From the Suggestion Box: 24 Hour Room Temperature

Most of the time I find it really hot in the 24 hr. room. Is there a way to lower the temperature to the mid or low 60s? Thank you for letting us know. We will put in a request to Facilities, though I think if the temperature went all the way down to the... Continue reading “From the Suggestion Box: 24 Hour Room Temperature”

From the Suggestion Box: Noise in the atrium

I am a work study student who works at the circ desk. Students have complained about noise coming from an office window that is open in the atrium. I believe that the window is in the interlibrary loan department. Thank you for alerting us to this concern. We have spoken to the staff whose windows...

From the Suggestion Box: White noise in 24 hour study rooms

First of all, thank you for having the 24 hour study rooms as a great option for students to come to study. I do have one suggestion to improve them, and that is to put “white noise” machines in them. Student health services as well as the learning assistance center use them throughout their offices...
