Little Free Libraries

A cute twist on the old "take a book/leave a book" swap locations:

New & improved!

We launched our new help & tutorials site, reeveshelp, at the end of the spring semester.

Over the summer, we've continued to add content and functionality, and we're excited about the new ways that we're able to bring information literacy and research help to SHU-- anytime, anywhere.

Some key features of our updated help site:

• Research portals tailored to various disciplines
• Information about our tools & resources
• Tutorial videos to walk you through different stages of the research process
• Slides from classroom presentations delivered by librarians

Check it out today, and continue to watch for new content being added all the time! Let us know if you have suggestions for new videos or research guides. reeveshelp-- Start your research here!

Summer fun

People often ask us, "So what do you do at the library all summer with everybody gone?"

As those lucky enough to be here for summer session know, everyone is NOT gone, though the campus does clear out considerably.

Anyway, the short answer is "Many things."

One of those things is re-filling the beanbag chairs. A year of students napping on them in between classes really squishes the filler beads down, so we plump them back up.

It's a little messy, but that just makes it fun.

Happy Friday (and almost finals)!

Copyright & Fair Use for Academics

The Copyright Clearance Center released this video a while back. It gives a thorough, quick, and fun (!) introduction to what "fair use" actually means on a college campus. (I'd embed it, but the first frame forbids redistribution in a publicly-accessible forum.)

Take a look!
