You can find earbuds for sale in the supply vending machine in Cooper Library. The earbuds cost $1.00 per pair.

The supply vending machine in is Cooper 4 West, around the corner from the Circulation Desk.

The compact shelving project is progressing. Carpet removal on the east side of the 1st floor is well under way.

Loads of shelving materials have arrived and have been moved to the first floor.

Actual construction of the new movable shelving is slated to begin August 31.

New content has been added to our Mergent Online subscription. This replaces much of the print materials that we have received in years past.

Here’s a list of the new online content:

• Annual Reports
• Equity Pricing (historical stock prices back 30 years)
• Fact Sheets/Equity Reports
• Long Term Debt (in depth bond information)
• Industry Reports (all 4 regions, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe)
• Insider Trading
• Institutional Holdings
• International Company Data

The library subscription to Mergent Online permits 20 simultaneous users.

If you have questions about Mergent Online or other business databases please contact Meredith Futral (mfutral@clemson.edu) or Bobby Hollandsworth (hollan4@clemson.edu)

At the Welcome table, we asked:

How many shelves will be on the 1st floor when the compact shelving project is completed?

Answer: 23, 674

Thanks for guessing. The winner has been notified.

The Clemson University Libraries are currently considering relinquishing our status as a shared regional federal depository library to selective federal depository library (pending approval).

By returning to selective depository library status, the Clemson University Libraries would be able to increase the relevance and usability of the collection while reducing costs. The increasing availability of government publications online would allow this to be accomplished with little, if any, decrease in the availability of information.

If you would like more information about this, please go to our Government Information page and read the Regional Transition FAQs (pdf) and the Draft of the Regional Transition Letter (pdf).
