thanks for the link and the tip!

Hi Krista!

This is some fabulous info, thanks for posting it up on the Wiki. Too bad it has adwords all over the place :( ... but it does have an rss feed. I'll see if I can hook it into MacInsiders somehow.

Finding Us: The four libraries are scattered around campus. You can find us on the campus map. You can also find us online.

Borrowing: Simply use your student card to borrow books for a two week period.

Recall: Does someone already have the book you want? You can place a recall on the item and your name will be placed on a waiting list..

Reserve Items: Profs often put class readings on reserve to allow everyone to have access. Reserve items can be found in the library catalogue and are picked up at the circulation desk.

Hours: You can find our hours here.

Study Space: The libraries offer group space and quiet study space.
Mills Library Study Space
Innis Library Study Space
Thode Library Study Space
Health Sciences Library Study Space

Computers: All libraries offer wireless computer access. Mills, Innis and Thode libraries offer a laptop lending program to all students; Health Sciences offers a laptop lending service to Health Sciences students. The libraries also offer over 200 computers with internet access and productivity software (ie. Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel).

Printing: You will need a library debit card to print or photocopy. The card costs $2 and you must add value to the card before printing or photocopying. Each print/photocopy costs $0.10.

Library Catalogue: Our online catalogue contains all items (print and electronic) that McMaster Libraries own. Search for your research items 24/7 online.

Databases: Use our online databases 24/7 to find journal articles for your research needs.

Interlibrary Loan: Found the perfect article or book but we don't have it? Get it for free using Racer, our online interlibrary loan system. Just sign up for account and let us know what you need.

Second Life: Don't forget to check out our space in Second Life - our slurl is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cybrary%20City/31/186/42/ ! You can get research help in our building or leave a question for our librarians to answer. You can also use the space for virtual meetings. Contact Krista Godfrey at [email protected] (aka Danu Dahlstrom in Second Life) to book the space.

Great Chad! I agree about the ads, but we haven't purchased our own wiki software....yet. I felt is was more important to get the info out to those who need it. Hope it helps!!

I also thought I would add that it is a wiki, so you can leave comments or apply to be a contributer! If you have information that you think is suitable for the wiki, apply to be a contributer. If you want to contribute but don't want to add the content yourselves, you can always contact me with the info. Please, no profanity or abusive remarks on the wiki.

And the content is written by Krista, who's my fav. librarian, so it must be good

btw.. im not sure how close your character looks to being the real you..

lol - well, that's the great thing about Second Life, my avatar Danu Dahlstrom can be what I'm not, like tall Besides, I'm too chicken to dye my hair blue in real life.

Blue fades anyways...really, really badly...so it's better you haven't.
