4. A student was looking for the nearest bathroom.
5. A student was looking for the sheet music to Sunbonnet Sally and Overall Jim by Frederick G. Johnson. UNCG doesn't have it, but I found it online at Mississippi State University. i helped the student ILL it.

15. (Chat) A student was having trouble accessing UNCGenie. They were trying to register for classes, along with everyone else. I couldn't get it to load either, so i am assuming that it's just getting overloaded with all the requests.

22. A student needed the microfilm for Vogue for the years 1940-1944. We only had 1944, someone else must have 1940-1943.
23. A student was looking for journal articles on world hunger and poverty. It was for a PSC class and the wonderful PSC librarian had made a research guide for his class, so i just directed him to it and he was very happy about it. :)
24. A student needed help with a journal, the British Medical Journal.
25. A student needed help finding an article that her professor had told her about.
26. More assistance with the British Medical Journal.
