Photos in the Library

Posted on April 23, 2013 by jpelger

I fell uncomfortable with people taking pictures of me, which they seem to be doing for this photo survey.  It makes me not want to use the library/study here.

For a short period of time we conducted a use study of the library.  We are recording how the library space is used at different times of the day and what takes place in various spaces.  We will use this information as we think about new ways to configure spaces in the library and add new equipment and furniture.  The photos are not to be used for publication and are for internal purposes only.

Evening Tech Support

Posted on April 16, 2013 by jpelger

A night time tech person would make things a lot better and I’d really appreciate a nightime (sic) tech-person!  Computer problems are worse late @ night & NO ONE knows @ night!

It is difficult to respond to comments without some more specific information.  Are you having difficulty with equipment, software, Vdesk, using resources???  Let us know.

Big Stapler

Posted on April 2, 2013 by jpelger

Can we please get the big stapler back?

As you may have noticed, staplers (both big and standard) do not remain in working condition for very long in the library.  Due to the cost of the big staplers, in conjunction with their short life-span, it is cost prohibitive to continue to purchase them.

Macs

Posted on March 26, 2013 by jpelger

It’d be great to see more Macs in the main computer lab.  And more windows!

We are glad you like the Macs in the Library.  We know they are popular and are happy to have several in the Learning Commons.  You can also find plenty of Macs in the Tech Center in the lower level of the Library.  As we replace equipment, we will consider options for additional Macs.  Thanks!

PrintGreen

Posted on March 19, 2013 by jpelger

We should be able to apply for a waiver to have more printgreen points added to our account if we’re in print-heavy classes.

The PrintGreen allotment was designed to be incredibly generous with the vast majority of students never having to pay for printing.  It was our hope that offering 750 free prints would balance between classes that print more and those that require less.  The number of free prints available here is roughly double that offered by many other colleges doing something similar to PrintGreen.

While we are not able to add additional free prints to a student’s allotment, we do encourage students to contact the Technology Services Service Desk at 253.879.8585 or servicedesk@pugetsound.edu so we can help them find strategies that maximize the free prints they do have.

Is it possible to get toilet seat covers for the 2nd floor restroom (by the PC’s)?

We will pass on your suggestion to the Facilities Department.

Color Printer

Posted on March 5, 2013 by jpelger

It would be great if students could use print credits to print in color, rather than pay copy services.  Some people don’t have the money to buy a printer or go to copy services.

Currently, we don’t have a color printer for public use, but we will look into this.  Thanks for the idea!

Wall Street Journal

Posted on February 26, 2013 by jpelger

Today is Wednesday.  The Wednesday Wall Street Journal is not here.  The Tuesday WSJ is not here.  The Monday WSJ is not here.  Does the school not get them anymore or what? – would be useful for finance current events.

We receive the Wall Street Journal in various formats.  The print WSJ is delivered via US Mail and there may be delays; especially when there is a federal holiday such as President’s Day.  We also receive the WSJ in electronic format.
