Clemson University Libraries Weblog

Don’t forget Cooper Library will be closed on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving Break. All the hours for the branch libraries and service points are posted, so check them before you decide to visit.

As always, the libraries webpage never takes a vacation and is never closed.

The weblog postings will be on intermittent next week because of Thanksgiving Break. Look for new updates and Daily Photos again on Monday, November 30.

It’s that time of year when you need a jacket or sweatshirt in the morning, but by afternoon it’s hot. So you take it off and often leave it somewhere. Plus there’s all the STUFF we carry with us; cell phones, calculators, usb drives, umbrellas, etc. Where do you look if you think you’ve lost something in the library?

The Circulation Desk is home base for all lost and found items. If you find something, take it there. If you’ve lost something, check there first!

Try to put you name on anything and everything you carry with you. The nice people at the Circulation Desk will try to contact you and let you know they have your lost stuff.

If you owe the library any money for overdue fines, lost books, etc.; and you are graduating in December, you must pay up by Monday, November 30.

If you aren’t sure if you have any fines, check My Library Account. If you have any questions concerning your account, please go to the Circulation Desk on the 4th floor.

The Clemson University Libraries is sponsoring an Angel Tree in the lobby of Cooper Library again this year.

There are over 100 tags on the tree this year. Each tag represents one child. The children are from the agencies of Clemson Head Start, Seneca Head Start, and the Salvation Army in Oconee County.

Head Start is a non-profit, federally funded preschool program for children ages 0-4. This program provides quality comprehensive service to preschool children, their families, and pregnant women.

If you would like to sponsor a child from the Angel Tree:

• Choose an ornament and fill out the attached information card.
• Put the completed card in the drop box.
• Bring your gifts, unwrapped in a gift bag (with the ornament attached) to the Library Security Desk.

Have you ever had trouble finding where to search for dissertations and theses?

Here’s a quick list of places to find them. You can find them on the Databases A-Z page under “C” (for Clemson), “D” (for Dissertations & Theses), “P” (for the two databases we get from ProQuest), and “T” (for Theses & Dissertations).

There are also links to the databases on the “Finding Dissertations and Theses” page, which is linked on the Where Can I Find? page and the site index under “D” and “T.”

We hope this helps!
