Checking ID Cards During Late Night Hours in Bartle Library

A valid BU ID card is now required to access the Bartle Library upon entering during late night hours. This policy has been established to ensure the safety of Binghamton University students and to preserve the facility for its intended use. Cooperation of all library users is appreciated. Upon entering the library late at night, you will be asked by library staff to present your BU ID card. Additional information regarding ID cards can be found in the 2007-08 Student Handbook at http://studenthandbook.binghamton.edu/studenthandbook07-08.pdf.

Sign Up for Information Management Workshop

Workshop: Student Research in the Age of Google

Information management is an important component of critical thinking. In this workshop, we will discuss some of the common difficulties that students encounter in conducting library research in the age of Google. Working together, we will consider various techniques for creating assignments that challenge students to use their critical thinking skills to develop the best information management strategies. Additional topics will include how to encourage students:

To use library resources – both print and digital
To evaluate their sources
To be aware of the Libraries’ citation resources

The workshop, led by faculty from the University Libraries, will be held on Tuesday, January 22 from 10:30-1. Lunch will be included. Attendance is limited to 30 people. Please RSVP to Debbie Dunn at ddunn@binghamton.edu.
