Refgrunt Day
Ok. Here’s the situation. I discovered I have to be at the Reference Desk–all day! Well–they’ve covered for me the past week when I was out, so fair’s fair. So I’ll be letting you know what people are asking for here today. I also have a ton of information to share with you and will apologize in advance for the number of e-mail notices you may receive. My responses will be in italics.
Can I use your stapler?
Sure
We’re here for the architect’s meeting. May we look around?
Sure. Here’s a map of the building on this brochure.
I’m here to pick up a CSC packet. I missed the class.
Lengthy explanation of the assignment and encourage come back if needs more help.
Can you help me find information on lobbying? I need an encyclopedia type article.
Sure– A quick search of our catalog helped identify the Call number and we went and browsed the reference shelves and pulled several books which should give enough to get started. I also recommended looking at our online encyclopedias for brief descriptions.
I’m switching to a different user name and putting this in a draft–in case you receive two items.
Could I borrow your stapler? sure
I’m a Roberts Student but I’ve never used the library before. Do I need a password to use these computers? Will this get me to The Roberts site? No and yes.
Can I sit down? Yes
I’m trying to find these articles, but I don’t know if these–pointing to list– are books or periodicals and I don’t know where to look. I’ve been looking in but none of them are in the database or if I need Interlibrary Loan. Can you help?
Brief instruction on the difference between a book and journal entry, and I take the student to our A-Z locator which is our union list for journals. After one demonstration, the student leaves to go to another area and continue working
I’m looking for the employment listings for the college and was told to look on the webpage but I can’t find it. Located and opened the link on the site.
I’m here with an architect team. May we look around? (lots of conversation about the building and introductions
You got my e-mail? (totally blank look from me.)
About what?
about the design team for the library?
and you are? I’m good at faces but poor at names–famously so. and there was no message.
Which computers print? They all do
Can I print a CD-Rom? –Downstairs
Hello. I’ve come to you to see if you can let me use this book. (pulls out purple sheet from a class on Tuesday.) My teacher says you have this book on Social work.
I show her the reference book she is seeking.
Would you mind signing for some packages?
Do you have Holy Feast, Holy Fast by Carolyn Walker Bynam?
I’m a prospective teacher. Could you show me your music collection?– Brief tour of music collections ensues.I’ve been trying to print and can’t get anything. There’s a problem with a missing icon. Try e-mail instead.
Faculty member: I’m trying to find an Orchestral suite by Tchaiskovsky but I’m getting unrelated items. –Took some looking and finally found some in WorldCat which he could request through ILL
Do you know where I can find verses on commitment online? I have a friend who is having doubts and I want to find some verses to help. We looked at print Topical Bible dictionaries because I didn’t readily see one online.
Do you have a stapler I could borrow?
Do you have tax forms? Gave directions to nearest public library.
What’s today’s date? huh(me) Today is the 14th? (today is the 14th I echo.)
Well, that’s it for now. And now you know why I don’t do refgrunts very often!

We won! We won!
We sent an entry into the Rochester Regional Library Council Library of the Month contest and won a prize for offering outstanding library service.
We sent in two entries–a poem, and a short paragraph. The challenge was getting them to 100 words. I didn’t write the original essay or poem but helped edit them.
(Long format)
At Sprague Library our staff makes using the library sweet. We start by smiling & greeting our students. At our Reference desk, we often keep a full candy dish as a conversation starter. This Easter, we offered a modified Easter Egg hunt for the students. Everyone was eager to find the eggs and get a prize. In return, we requested they complete a short patron survey. We have started a “welcome back” celebration each Fall to focus on one aspect of library services. We actively invite and listen to the students’ ideas for continued improvements in our library services and website. (101 words)
(Short Poem)
Here at Roberts our students discover that
Using Sprague Library is “Sweet.”
We love to wave and smile
At each student we meet.
Each month brings to All
A little PR Fun
Contests, surveys, and prizes
Who won??
Now, meeting students’ research needs
That’s no small feat!
So, “Come chat and have a treat!”
At the Reference Seat.
Always asking and listening
To our students’ requests
For improving our service
—and website—
Has become our quest.
We work hard to please
Our service is never done
Come look for a book or study
Let’s have some fun!

Even so, we missed the chocolate hearts we gave out to Faculty during February.
Oh Joy! We won!
We won! We won!

A Tale of Three Sites
A question on Stumpers about the kind of synagogue Pope John Paul II visited elicited several links to Biblical topics.
I don’t recall sharing them before, but if so, I’ll edit this post. If you haven’t delved into Stumpers archives, it’s a fascinating way to find bon mots and other items.
Here they are
Bible and Archaeology, Bible news, Interpretation and Archaeology, Excavations in the Holy Land Part of the scope of this site is to provide scholarly information for the general public and the student. The institutions who support this site are listed on the left. I don’t know if this is the only place to locate some of the essays provided, but they certainly provide a range of thought. For instance, the group of articles devoted to the Passion range from reviews to literary criticism and all points in between.
Another site Livius.org provides articles on ancient history. From the quick glance through it, the individual articles are signed
