Reference Questions, 5/2/10

May is finally here and graduation is only 12 days away. This is a Sunday on the ref desk, and finals start next week. I've been told it's been a slow day. Let's hope the trend continues. I only have 2 more ref shifts after this one. :)

1. Wanted an audio book for Shakespeare's The Tempest. Got the impression that she just didn't want to read it, because when I told her that she couldn't check it out because it is on reserve she started asking about a DVD of it
2. Looking for scholarly print journals on the economy
3. Had a question about whether or not the Journal of Education for Business is a scholarly journal
4. Looking for a scanner
5. (Chat) Having trouble finding journal articles on public health; they were trying to use the journal titles line on the library home page and that is only for finding specific journal titles
6. (Chat) Wanted to know what would happen if they stole a book; i wish I had told them they would go to jail; they just had never heard the security alarm go off and didn't believe it worked; i assured them that it does work
7. (Chat) Wanted to know why the chat handle is iMinerva; listen people I am the goddess of wisdom; duh
8. (Chat) Wanted to know where the ILL link is located
9. Computer problem in the reading room

It was another dead night on the desk. I guess no one is getting ready for finals yet. This coming week will probably be slammed.
