A Blog Hiatus

It's been since September that we librarians have posted our last blog. Tragic, I know.

However, the silver lining to our blogless-ness (is that a word?) is that we have so much to share with you! Where do we begin!?

Technology

We have been expanding what kind of technology is available at Lewis Library, and we think you will be happy with what we have in store.

The following items are now available for checkout at the circulation desk:

Apple iPads

These iPads can be checked out for up to 3 hours and are library use only. Over 40 apps are already installed, including study tools, social media, sports apps, and much more. If you have a suggestion for an app that we need, please let us know in the comments!

Coming soon!: Candy Crush, Bejeweled, Trivia Crack, Words with Friends, and more games!

Also coming soon!: Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for iPad!



Apple iPhone charging cables (for models 4-6)

Has your iPhone died while you were in the library? We've got you covered. Come to the circulation desk and check out an iPhone charger! Wall adapters are also available. These chargers are library use only, can be checked out for up to 3 hours, and made for models 4-6.



24 hour checkout laptops

You asked, we listened. A select few laptops are available for 24 hour checkout, and yes, they can leave the library! They must stay on campus, but that does include the Broad Street Apartments AND Callaway campus. Are you excited yet?


Also new at Lewis Library:

Facebook

Lewis Library's Facebook page now has a place where you can search the library catalog, manage your account, and see your checkouts and fines! Just click on Library Search at the top!



***Log in using just your L number, and no PIN number to see your account.


And search our catalog!


You do not need to have a Facebook account in order to use this feature. Pretty cool right?


Come to Lewis Library and check out all our new stuff! We can't wait to see you! And stick around to see what's in store for next month's blog as well!
