Guide to Organic Chemistry Resources

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

A guide to organic chemistry resources is now available.

Getting your feedback about this guide would be appreciated as I’m seeing this as a model for creating other research guides.

FYI, I have also created two course guides. Please contact me if you are interested in having a guide created for your course too.

Many thanks in advance for your feedback and support!

Paying for Printing at the Swain Library: A Brief Guide for the Perplexed

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

    You need to purchase a copy card. The card itself costs $1. Additional funds must be deposited onto the card to be available for printing. Select the printer called “ChemLib-KioskPrinter.” This printer is located on the right side when you enter the Swain Library.

    Please note that Swain’s cash-to-card dispenser machine does not accept any “new” bills (Green and Engineering Libraries dispenser machines will accept new bills). Please bring crisp $1 bills to add money to a dispenser card as Swain does not have any cash on hand to make change.
