Computer Tips for the End of the Semester
1. Save your Documents! When working on Library computers, save your files
to either your Z drive or flash drive. Documents in the Saved Documents
folder are erased each night or whenever a computer is restarted.
2. Jazz up your final paper with color images and charts. A color printer is
available in the Library. The cost is $0.50/page. Alas, your $8.00 of free
printing cannot be used towards color printing. Ask your librarian for
instructions on how to print in color.
3. Remember that our printers print double sided. To print singled sided, you
need to change it manually through the properties feature in the print box.

The RAP Redux
Does Research Have You at a Crossroads?
Set up a RAP with one of our sharp as a tack librarians
With the semester starting to wind down, we figured it was worth publishing this
again. . . So here it goes.
With only a month left until the end of classes, assignment deadlines are starting to
loom. Don’t wait until the last minute to get the research help you need.
Set up a RAP appointment with a reference librarian. We’re your guide on the side.
Whether it is a solo or group project, a librarian can help you brainstorm paper
topics, explore search options, design research strategies and locate resources.
Stop by the reference desk to complete a RAP form or fill out a form online at
