Where Your PRINT JOBS Go

Sometimes large print jobs such as Power Point slides and lengthy papers or PDF articles might take awhile to print. If you're not sure something went through, PLEASE do not send the print job again. Wait at least 5 minutes, and if the printer or computer is showing an error message, alert one of the service desks.

Printing out multiple copies of a big job WASTES The Citadel's resources and forces the library to purchase paper and toner more frequently. Eventually the budget will be depleted and we'll have to restrict printing.
If you've used other libraries you've probably had to wait in line at a print queue and pay for jobs before you pick them up. We would like to avoid this. Other ways to avoid wasting paper and toner are to jot a call number on a scrap paper instead of printing the whole page from the catalog web page.
Thanks for your help.

Heros and Anti-heros: Friends present S.P. MacKenzie

The Friends of the Daniel Library present S.P. MacKenzie

The Citadel's Daniel Library Friends spring book and lecture series will focus on World War II heroes and anti-heroes, leaders and villains when S.P. MacKenzie, a military history professor at the University of South Carolina, visits Monday, Feb. 26. He will discuss Douglas Bader, the legless air ace and RAF pilot who epitomized the Battle of Britain. MacKenzie is considered an authority on the British in WWII. The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. in Bond Hall Room 165.



The Daniel Library Friends book and lecture series was created in 1996. It is responsible for bringing many noted authors and lecturers to the college and tri-county community. All programs are free and open to the public. Refreshments are served.

Bits and Bytes: Creating Citations

When writing a research paper it is extremely important that you properly cite the sources you used to support your topic. If you do not properly cite your sources, this can be viewed as plagiarism. Although it is unintentional, improper citations can at the very least cost you a grade or two and the very worst an accusation of plagiarism.

To help you avoid this, the Library has a Citation Guide to help you create proper citations that will leave your professors AMAZED! Okay, maybe not amazed, but at least satisfied that you followed directions.

One of the best writing and citation guides available for free and online is the Online Writing Lab from Purdue University. For Humanities students check our Chicago Manual Style. And all you scientists and engineers out there, look at sample formats for lab reports and slide presentations.
Remember that many of the databases we subscribe to provide a citation for you, but are not always correct. Make sure to compare the database generated citation with one of the resources provided at the Citation Guide.

If you are still not sure about the accuracy of your citation simply ask one of the reference librarians for assistance.

PASCAL Delivers "error" messages

You can order a copy of a book through the PASCAL Delivers catalog if the Citadel's copy is checked out or missing. You might find that some colleges whose copies are listed are not yet part of the delivery service... you'll get a message that "circulation policy" doesn't allow you to reserve the book. Check with the reference librarian if you see any type of error message. It might also mean that you have items overdue, or owe a fine.

Access to Science and Nature

The Daniel Library's scientific world has just expanded with the addition of two important resources, thanks to the power of consortial purchasing.

Our access to Science features content from 1997 to the current issue, except Science Express PDF articles.

Access to Nature includes full-text content from 1997 onward, including advance online publication.
