BarnardRefDesk

There was a problem with the reference desk computer that caused pink wonkiness when you right clicked. Esther did her thing, and now the machine is all better.

However, since some things have been changed around, you will have to type your IP address afresh into the remote desktop log in. Remember http://whatismyip.com to identify your IP address.

PS I am going to start running Ad-Aware and SpyBot on the ref desk machine on Fridays.

On Wednesday, August 1, 2007 the University Archives will close its Reading Room as staff prepares to move the UA from its present location in Low Memorial Library.

The UA will reopen on Wednesday, January 2, 2008 in its new location within the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, located on the 6^th floor of Butler Library.

The UA will continue to provide reference services for the University community and all other patrons by mail, email, and telephone. We will make every effort to respond promptly to all queries, however, we ask for your patience during this time of transition.
