The temporary construction walls were removed from within the Isché Library yesterday evening. This morning workers are hanging visquine to replace those walls and drywall work will commence shortly. Be alert as you exit the elevators into the Library Commons lobby and as you walk into the Library; construction is all around.
The Isché Library elevator was put back into service late this afternoon. Come check out its new look.
Yesterday, a new book return was placed between the ATM machine & the University Police station on the skywalk near the parking garage. Please feel free to return any library materials (for either Isché or Dental) at this location.
The display cases are being installed in the Isché Library/Library Commons Lobby this week. So expect sporadic construction gauntlets to get into the library.
The Isché Library color copier has moved to the 5th floor.
Facilities will begin testing the fire safety system in the Isché Library momentarily.

The Isché Library now has a color photocopier available for use. The costs of copies for this machine is 25¢ each. At this moment, it can only make color copies, so no 10¢ copies are available. It is currently housed on the 3rd floor.
Like all the photocopiers in the Libraries, it is administrated by Auxiliary Enterprises.
The permanent glass panels which will divide the Isché Library from the Library Commons are being installed today. The new front doors to the Library are scheduled for installation tomorrow.
We spoke too soon about our elevator working yesterday. It is once again out of order. We’ll post again when it’s working.
The renovations to the Isché Library elevator are complete. Come take a ride!
The construction workers have been working on the new lobby to the Commons & the Library since Friday. This morning they started working on the doorway into the Isché Library. Don’t worry you still have access. Work on the doorway should be completed in a few days.

RefWorks in 15 Minutes
While the ideal way to teach users the basic features of RefWorks is to conduct a full training session, we realize that in some situations you may have only a few minutes to demonstrate the power of RefWorks. During this session, you’ll rapidly learn: how to create an account; direct export citations from two databases; create a folder; create a bibliography from a list of citations; and create a bibliography using Write N’ Cite.
