Printer News!

Great news about our reference printers (at least one of them). Ref-1 prints duplex (and Ref-2 may if its the same model). I was informed today by a student that she has been printing duplex on Ref-1 and would like us to post signs telling others that they can print double-sided too. Very good idea. Perhaps we should make some signs to paste to each computer noting this, especially since I've been telling students for the past couple of months that our printers don't print duplex.

When the print box appears, go to Properties and you have a choice to Print on Both Sides. This choice only appears for Ref-1. If the printers are the same model, can we change the properties on Ref-2 to reflect the ability to print duplex?

FirstSearch Full Text -- NOT

FirstSearch is not respecting the "full-text only" box today. The student I was helping had checked it, but about half of his return was not full-text. He was in Philosopher's Index; I replicated the problem in both Agricola and MLA. Verletta is letting the appropriate people know.

Library Floor Map

I have posted a pdf of Lua's Library Floor Map to the website. It is located under the "About Us" section, and is the third link down "Library Floor Map." There are also black and white print outs of the map in the handout display.

"Note on Organization Structure" by Nitin Nohria

Kamala Gollakota has this article on her syllabus. Note that the actual title uses the phrase "Organization Structure," not "Organizational Structure." We do not have access to this publication through the library, but it is available from Harvard Business Online, to which her students are required to subscribe.
