Another Tuesday on the reference desk. Anyone who has a question, come back after 9. ;)
- Two students needed to know where the copiers where and where Tower 4 was located.
- A student was having trouble with wireless access on her laptop. I sent her to the SuperLab.
- (Facebook email) A friend emailed me on Facebook and needed to know the service population and circulations of both Greensboro Public Library and High Point Public Library.
- A student was wanted to know how to find research libraries on the internet. Jason to the rescue. He suggested that we try http://www.arl.org which is the website for the Association of Research Libraries. They had a listing of member libraries. Yay!
- Oh my what a question...A student was looking for a report that was done in May 2005 about the Doe Run Co. in La Oroya, Peru concerning toxic blood levels among the children of the town. I was able to find lots of articles about the study, but no the actual study done by St. Louis University. I was able to eventually find a study that the CDC put out about it and an article that the university wrote about it. Hopefully he can use some of the contact info that was in the article and contact someone and get the study that way. I worked with this guy for nearly 45 minutes.
- A student was looking for a book on box joints. It is located in the basement. I hope she can find it. If not I told her to come back and I would come down and find it for her.
- A student was looking audiobooks. They are located in the Reading Room.
- A student was looking for books on sign language and children and medical aspects and history.
- Had to retrieve a SUDOC for a student. Had the worst time finding it. It was a microfiche and it was filed incorrectly.
- (Chat) A student wanted to know what it was called when you use the terms AND and OR to search. That Boolean baby. :)
- A student wanted to know where she could access her flash drive.
- A patron needed help printing.
