University Library Reference

Message from Mary Jane
Folks, While University and Science Libraries are relying on the
ITS Help Desk for tech assistance this summer, Dewey still has
some hours of ITS Consultants. I checked with ITS, and they are
fine with librarians and staff from University and Science Libraries
calling the Dewey ITS Consultant when the ITS Help Desk is
closed.

Hours that Dewey ITS Consultant is on duty and ITS Help Desk
is closed:
Sundays 2-6pm
Monday-Thursday 5-8pm
To reach Dewey Consultant, call Dewey Circulation Desk 2-3693.

Thanks to Cathy for suggesting this. -- Mary Jane

We have begun offering Dialog searches at Dewey, and we are calling it Dewey Search. Dewey Search has a narrower focus than Customized Search Service at the Main Library; these search appointments will solely be for the use of DIALOG. Any patrons seeking instructional sessions or sessions which would focus on the use of the website-access databases will be referred to a bibliographer.

Pamphlets highlighting the databases that are particularly relevant to faculty, social welfare, and public affairs were disseminated this year to on the downtown campus, through faculty mailboxes and student lounges. A criminal justice pamphlet will be distributed in the Spring as well.

Graduate students or Faculty wishing to run a search at the downtown campus should contact me directly to schedule an appointment.

Likewise, questions, comments, suggestions should be referred to me as well.
