Reference Questions, 9/6/2011

I'm here for 2 hours. Bring it.
  1. Student needed help printing his paper single-sided
  2. Looking for a VHS tape Secrets & Lies for her professor
  3. (Chat) Looking for a database that contained different psychology tests; it was Mental Measurement Yearbook!
  4. Student said Lisa did a great job yesterday, said her pointing out the H drive was very helpful and her explanation of the journal finder was also a big time saver
  5. Looking for a trig textbook
  6. Looking for the SRDS Lifestyle Market Analyst
  7. (Chat) Looking for an actual test from the Mental Measurement Yearbook. The yearbook doesn't contain test on reviews and descriptions. You must contact the vendor to purchase the test. Or if you are willing to do the leg work, if the author's published about the test before it was finalized you might be able to find a preliminary copy of the test in a journal somewhere.
  8. Looking for demographic info on Radford. I gave him the website for the American Fact Finder http://factfinder.census.gov 
  9. (Chat) Wanted to know how to create an in-text citation in APA; got cut off before I could answer his questions completely
  10. Student needed help finding a book in the stacks; had to get Alyssa to help with this one. Had too many other questions and chats happening
  11. Needed help using the scanner
  12. Student needed an article for her music therapy class and expected me to know the exact type of article she was looking for. She answered all the questions I asked her with "I don't know." I tried several different ways to help her. She finally said her friend was coming by to help her. OK.
  13. Wanted to know if she was allowed to print stuff
  14. Looking for the journal Musical Therapy Perspectives
  15. Student found an umbrella by one of the computers. I had her take it to lost and found at the Front Desk.
  16. Looking for a textbook, Norton Anthology of World Literature. We didn't have it.
This was a very busy 2 hours. I haven't been this busy at the reference desk in ages. I even had several real reference questions; imagine that.
