REF - New Books are Out

Cris has changed over the New Books shelf. We haven't been getting a preview of the new books for a while now so I want to encourage the reference staff to keep up with the new titles we are adding. You can do this by visiting the New Book shelf or by visiting the new books online. Here is a link to the New Book search.

Have fun! There are some great titles that we have added.

ALL - Copy & Pasting from Yahoo Mail

Over the last week Diana and I have worked with several students having trouble doing a copy/paste from their Yahoo mail account into Word. I found a solution.

At the bottom of the Yahoo email window there is a link Save Message Text.
Click on the link and select Open from the dialog box.
This opens the text in a Notepad file.
Now the student can copy/paste the text into Word and fix the formatting.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

ALL - Recovered Library Cards

How does everyone feel about taking library cards that we have found here in the library and instead of holding on to them, deleting them from the patrons account and replacing it with their social like we used to do? This way we can use the library card for a new patron. When they come back to the library and say they lost their card we will just give them a new one. There will be no need to charge them because we re-used the card. - Brandon
