Check It Out! August 2019

LCSSAC Corner

By Allen Bol

The Libraries Clerical and Service Staff Advisory Committee (LCSSAC) recently had a change in officers, and I am now now the new chair. We are currently in the planning stages for the Libraries and School of Information Studies’ Fall Picnic with some exciting changes coming! The picnic is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, and this year, it will be held at a different location this year–at the River Shelter at Fort Ouiatenon. Please bring a covered dish and a white elephant gift. Dean McNeil is graciously providing the hamburgers, hotdogs, and buns. This event is open for all Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies (PULSIS) faculty, staff, retirees, and their families.

As always, LCSSAC is here to be the listening voice for all the PULSIS support staff. If at any time you have a question or concern, please send us a Link Letter. Link Letters are a confidential way for you to have your voice be heard. All Link Letters go directly to the LCSSAC chair, who will remove all identifying information before sharing it with the rest of the committee. Follow this link: go.lib.purdue.edu/LCSSAC/Linkletter to send a letter.

More DigRef Questions Due to Ask-a-Librarian Pop Out Tab

By Frances Christman and the DigRef Team

This past June, a little pop out appeared on the Library’s homepage. Just a little pop-out. “Ask Us” (see upper right corner of image below).

Digital Reference via Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies

Nothing big, nothing with bell and whistles… just a little “Ask Us” tab showing up on your screen.
Suddenly, questions appeared in our queues—A LOT more questions, to the point that we are now staffing double shifts on certain days of the week to answer the amount of questions we receive. Compared to the previous years, the number of questions have DOUBLED.

Ask-a-Librarian DigRef Service, Purdue University Libraries and School of Information StudiesWe are visible. We are present. We are available!

It was just a little pop out… but oh, what a BIG difference it has made!
