We are very pleased to announce that CUA students, faculty and staff now have access to the Education Research Complete database. We hope you will find it helpful. It includes bibliographic information and abstracts of articles from over 1600 journals, full text from over 1000 of those, and the full text of over 130 books and numerous conference papers. It covers all levels and specializations in education and education administration. It also crosses into areas such as psychology, health/nursing, and social work. As with all library databases, access is available from any internet connected computer.  Off campus users, log in using your CUA ID number.

The University Libraries will remain open with reduced hours during Spring Break.

* Please note that the Physics Library will only be open by appointment.

Do you have a paper due soon? Got questions about finding and using good sources, putting together the best introduction, and polishing your writing? The Writing Center and University Libraries are teaming up to help!

On Tuesday, February 17 from 5 to 7:30 p.m., writing consultants and reference librarians will be available in the MERIC classroom in Mullen Library for a  Drop-In Term Paper Clinic, offering free research and writing support for all CUA students. No appointments are needed; students just need to walk in with their paper, sign in at the front, and get the help they need.

Additional Term Paper Clinics are scheduled for April 23 and April 29 for students with end-of-semester papers. Watch for more.

In the Spring ’09 semester CUA’s Center for Planning and Information Technology (CPIT) has migrated from Blackboard 6 to Blackboard 8.

As such, Mullen library has moved our electronic reserves for every class into Blackboard 8. You may now view electronic reserves for your courses at http://bb8.cua.edu/

If you have trouble using Blackboard 8, check out this information page from CPIT http://computing.cua.edu/blackboard/

If you have any questions about electronic reserves you may contact Mullen library Access Services at 202-319-5060

The University Libraries have received new copy machines. These new machines will use Cardinal Cash from your Cardinal Card or new copy cards that are now available. For a limited time, we will run the old copiers alongside the new copies where space permits. The old copy cards will continue to work on the old copy machines only.

Anyone with a Cardinal Card should be able to add value to their Cardinal Cash account using a credit card at the Cardinal Card website. First select “Manage Your Cardinal Card Account”, then select “Manage Your Account Online”. From there you should be able to log in and add value.

You can also add funds to your Cardinal Card at vending machines located in Mullen Library and the Music Library. These vending machines will also issue copy cards for visitors.

Please be aware that the new copy machines use a new type of copy card. Copy cards you had previously purchased will not work with the new machines. It is for this reason that we will continue to run some of the old copy machines for a limited time.

If you have questions or problems regarding the transition, please stop by the Information Desk on the first floor.

Thanks for you patience and cooperation!

Due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and the inauguration of President Obama Mullen Library will be open only for limited hours Sunday, and will be closed Monday and Tuesday. All campus libraries will be closed Sunday through Tuesday.
