Do You Buy Books?

If you regularly buy your own recreational reading or viewing material, and want a place to "recycle" your purchases when you're done, consider the Daniel Library! We purchase a few recreational items each year, but we rely on donations to keep the collections fresh. For more info, send a message to Kirstin Steele.

What's up with wireless?

A lot of folks are having problems connecting to the wireless network, so here a couple of tips to help you out:

1) The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a wireless adapter installed on your laptop. If you aren't sure how to check this and you're in the library, let us know and we'll help you out. You can also contact the campus IT HelpDesk at 953-HELP.

2) Make sure you are connected to library1 which is the library's wireless network.

3) If you are using Windows XP you may need to tweak the network settings on your computer. Instructions are available. If you're using Windows Vista, you won't need to tweak your network settings.

4) For those of you using Internet Explorer version 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and above, you'll need to change your browser settings to connect to the wireless network. Instructions are available.

Just remember that help is available, so please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you,
Library Systems & Computing

Browser Security Settings - Wireless Users

Currently, patrons using Internet Explorer version 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and above have to change their browser security settings in order to logon to the wireless network. According to Daniel Library systems engineer Frederick Young, Citadel Network Support plans to upgrade the campus wireless system to address this problem.

Until then, patrons will have to change their browser settings. Instructions on how to modify browser settings (IE 7 and Mozilla Firefox) will be posted on the library's wireless page before fall semester classes begin.

Weekend Closures--August

The library will be closed Saturday and Sunday, August 11-12 and August 18-19.

Monday, August 13-Friday, August 17 the library will be open 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

John Milton and Early Theatre Journal

Iter, through whom we purchase a Middle Ages & Renaissance research database, has opened a trial of two other products through the fall semester. The first is the John Milton Bibliography.

The second is Early Theatre & Records of Early English Drama, a journal.

If you have comments or questions about these trials, please call the Reference desk at 953-2569.
