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...

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...

Anyway, just a thought, I completely understand there are budget restrictions and... Continue reading “From the Suggestion Box: ARTSTOR” ›

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” ›

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” ›
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...

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...
