We’ve completed the first step in remaking our old subject guides. Rather than wait for the Library’s official switchover date we thought Business and Economics could lead the way, so we’ve replaced the Subject Guide links on the right side of this website with links to the new guides.

We think they’re a huge improvement, but we’d like to know what you think. Also, some bits are still getting sorted out, like the “Recent Articles” section on some guides including a few not-so-recent articles. Please point out any other problems to us, either by commenting on the guides themselves or by contacting us directly. And stay tuned for new additions, including embedded video tutorials.

If you miss the old Subject Pages, you can still find them here for now.

The old Subject Guides (linked on the right side of this page) will soon be replaced. We’ll have greater control over content and format with the new guides, they’ll have some Web 2.0 features, and we’ll be able to embed some media, all with the hopes of making your research easier.

You can take a look at the new guides that we’re building now (links below). The switch will happen with the start of Fall Semester.

Come on by with any questions you may have!1210-bloomberg1

Lee Library will be dissolved on June 22nd, 2009.  The MEGI service desk on the 1st floor of the library will be closed, and removal of the MEGI reference collection is in process.

In its place we are pleased to announce the Business and Economics Library.  The Business Librarians, Leticia Camacho and Andy Spackman, will be housed in new offices in the northern (new) portion of the library, rooms 1211 and 1212.  We will retain student assistants who will continue to provide frontline research help both in person and online.  These students, along with the library’s Bloomberg terminal, will be located in room 1210.

We hope this change will cause minimal inconvenience, and we believe that less dependence on a localized service desk will allow us and our student assistants to more effectively reach into the Marriott School of Management and the Department of Economics in order to offer library resources, services, and instruction at the point of need.  Items in the reference collection will either be replaced with electronic versions, or placed on the regular shelves where they can be checked out without the current restrictions.  In both cases these key titles will become more accessible to students and faculty.

Please contact us with any questions.
