A.C. Buehler Library

Getting to the End

Jennifer Paliatka — Wed, 02 May 2012 18:47:00 +0000

The semester is coming to a close. Study hard, and good luck on final exams and projects! A few notes:

Don’t forget to save your work to a flash drive or other EXTERNAL device (NOT the library computer’s desktop) often as you’re working on your final projects on the library’s computers. We’d hate for you to lose all your hard work!
Be kind to others around you when working in the library. Group work is fine on the main floor, but remember that others are also trying to complete projects, so watch your noise level.
The upper and lower floors of the library are for quiet study, so please respect those around you if you are studying upstairs or downstairs.
Finally, please come see us if you have questions on last minute research, citation questions, or anything else we might be able to help with.

Did you know?

The Mac mini computers on the main floor of the library run as either Macs or as Windows 7 PCs. If you are using one of the scanning stations, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Photoshop work better with the scanners when the Mac is running as a PC.

If you need assistance in switching a Mac mini to run as a PC, please ask at the Reference Desk.

Welcome back from spring break!

Although your personal Mac may be capable of printing directly to our library printers wirelessly, please realize two things before you attempt it:

We don’t support or facilitate wireless printing in any way
It doesn’t seem to work very well most of the time

Details on wireless printing can be found here. If you need to print something from your laptop, it might be best to borrow a flash drive from the reference desk (we have a few) and move the file from your laptop to a workstation PC. Or use Dropbox.com. Or use Google Docs. Or email your files and save paper!

Getting ready for spring semester

Welcome to all new students and welcome back to all returning for spring semester! A reminder from the Office of Registration and Records: Remember to check where your spring classes are meeting. The room assignments for several classes have changed recently. Take a few minutes to check your schedule on BlueNet this weekend and save yourself a cold walk to the wrong classroom on Monday! Use your new e-number to log on to Bluenet. Your Login ID will be of the form e####### and is located on the bottom left corner of your Jaypass. The NEW Bluenet ID will always be “e” followed by the rightmost seven digits of this number.

Welcome to the last full week of classes. Study hard, and good luck on final exams and projects! A few notes:

Don’t forget to save your work to a flash drive or other EXTERNAL device (NOT the library computer’s desktop) often as you’re working on your final projects on the library’s computers. We’d hate for you to lose all your hard work!
Be kind to others around you when working in the library. Group work is fine on the main floor, but remember that others are also trying to complete projects, so watch your noise level.
The upper and lower floors of the library are for individual study, so please respect those around you if you are studying upstairs or downstairs.
Finally, please come see us if you have questions on last minute research, citation questions, or anything else we might be able to help with.

Good luck!
