The Hackelmeier Library began offering online reserves several semesters ago. We have been working hard to improve the process and turn-around time since then. eReserves are available 24/7 from any computer with internet access. All you need is the login and password from your professor and Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is on all campus systems and is a free download if you don't have it on your personal pc.
Currently reserves for POL101, GLS101, POL344, SOC450, SOC345, and MAT115 are complete. There are two more readings for POL101 and GLS101 that will be up soon. A problem with accessing SOC101b readings is being resolved, but as usual, there are hard copies at the Circ desk if you would rather not wait. Reserves for HIS102de are being processed as are several other classes.
Sr. Joel Franks has taken over administration of the reserves again. Chadwick has managed them for the past year or so in order to get the eReserves process up and running. Please contact Sr. Joel if you have new courses to set-up or need to add readings. You may contact Chadwick with technical probelms, but he will be out of the office until Sept. 5th.

Status of the Wireless Network
There is no wireless network on campus until the library network is complete. The IT department expects to be “live” in the library before the end of the week (08/25). After it becomes available, a concise memo on getting connected will be broadcast emailed and copies will be provided for distribution via the library website and at our circulation desk.
The wireless project at Ruth Lily Student Center is waiting in the wings with a strong desire to be “live” about Fall break time. And the wireless in the residence halls will not go “live” until January.
So, get your wireless access cards installed and wait for the magic... :-)

Instructional Technology moves office to Library
The library staff is happy to welcome the Instructional Technology Department to Hackelmeier Memorial. This move will provide a higher level of technical support for our patrons.
The computer lab staff and Director of Instructional Technology (DoIT) will begin answering all non-research related technical questions and handle issues relating to the use of office and word processing software applications and computer problems.
The Lab staff will now be located at the front desk and the DoIT's office is now located in the room formerly used for our Special Collections. The lab assistants should be available during current library operating hours, so stop by and make them feel welcome.

Library receives 69K grant to implement Learning Commons
In June of 2006, the Hackelmeier Memorial Library received a generous $69,000 grant from the Indianapolis Foundation Library Fund, a Central Indiana Community Foundation affiliate, for the creation of a Learning Commons.
The Hackelmeier Learning Commons is a set of unique spaces designed to facilitate active, collaborative research by students and faculty. By creating a model for interdisciplinary thinking, learning and resource sharing in a comfortable, collegiate atmosphere, Marian will foster a stronger connection between the classroom and the library, nurturing a strong bond between academics and library resources while offering greater opportunities for active learning.
