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.

Well, we want to hear it! And here’s how you do it. Go to our online Suggestion Box and vent or compliment to your heart’s content. The suggestions can be anonymous; but if you’d like a reply, fill out the form with your information and someone will be in touch.

We also have an old school, paper suggestion box in the lobby of Cooper.

Use either or them. Or both. We’d love to know what you think!

Want great color prints, plots, large-format scanning and copying at a reasonable price?

Find your way to the Lee Hall Printing Facility located in Room 112F Architecture Library.

Check out the website for cost information and helpful hints. Call (864) 656-3932 with any questions.

They have fast, friendly and reliable service!!!

The CCIT laser printer on the east side of the 5th floor is back and in working order.

The laser printer on the east side of Cooper (not the Java City side) is down. It’s so broken that CCIT is coming over to pick it up. We do NOT know when it will be repaired or if there will be a replacement.

The laser printer on the west side of Cooper (the Java City side) should be working.

There will be an upgrade to Pharos, the library pay-for-print system, on Wednesday starting at 1pm. This will only affect the black and white printer with the group of 20 computers on the 4th floor and the color printer on the 5th floor near the Computer Help Desk.

The upgrade should only take about an hour. Remember, Clemson students can print for free at the CCIT computers on the 5th floor. There’s a laser printer on each side of the floor.

We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

RefWorks-COS is pleased to announce that the Alumni Program will now be offered as a standard feature of RefWorks, providing lifelong access to users that are alumni of subscribing institutions. As long as an institution subscribes to RefWorks, alumni will have access, allowing them to continue using their personal research databases for future professional and academic endeavors.

Read more about the Alumni Program here (opens a pdf).

No, it’s not that kind of loan; but you can get books and articles. If the Clemson University Libraries do not have a book or article that you need, just fill out an ILL form and we’ll get it for you.

Read all about how to get materials on ILL here.

Be sure and pay close attention the section on textbooks. We can’t get those!

Through Discus, we have three new career or career-related databases:

Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center
Learning Express Library
Vocations, Careers, and Technical Education Collection.

You can find all three databases on the Databases A-Z list:

To gather all our career resources together, there’s now a “Career Information” page which is linked on the Research by Subject page.

On the Where Can I Find page, you can find a link for “Graduate School Admission Exams” and linked it back to the section on the Career Information page that has the Learning Express Library, because this database allows you to take practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT exams.

There are 3 scanner stations on the 5th floor of Cooper Library, near the Help Desk outside Java City. You must login with your Clemson user ID and password to use them.

Two of the scanners are standard size and one is large format (11” x 17”).

Detailed instructions are posted by each scanner. Read more about the scanners here.
