White Board on Library 3rd Floor rotunda, August 23

IWU Class of 2014 – Shutting Down Ames since 2010 – The white board message sums it all up, the library is alive and humming and the semester has barely begun.

Make the most of shutting down Ames in the wee hours of the morning! Everyone at library is invested in your success.  Connect to a librarian who can help you make the most of our collections and services – you can find out who can help here: http://www.iwu.edu/library/contact/fac_staff.shtml

Our new search tool pulls together many scholarly resources.  Get exactly what your professor asked you to find with the Megasearch box on our Library home page: http://www.iwu.edu/library/ MegaSearch is a Google-like search tool that allows you to search most of the library’s collection in one place. You can look for books, DVDs, and CDs, as well as scholarly journals, magazines and newspaper articles.

We’re happy to have you here!

The Cafe in The Ames Library opened at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 22.  It took about 25 minutes for the first customer to buy that first cup of coffee.  His enthusiasm for the task is captured here!  The cafe is located on the entry level i the northeast corner.  Currently hours are 7:30-10:30 p.m.  We welcome your comments and suggestions.  A white board seeking feedback will be up next week.

The Ames Library Patio is now open for your enjoyment!  Located on the south (Empire Street) side of our building on the entry level, this beautiful space is open this summer during our regular hours,  weather permitting.  We are beginning to add furniture – come try out our rocker and our glider & ottoman.
