Are you on campus doing research or taking classes this summer and need a cool place to eat your lunch?  If so, stop by the Library Café. While the café is not open for service, the space is open for use!  Besides a microwave to warm your lunch, you’ll find the vending machines and the Kuerig coffee kiosk stocked.  The four computers and printer/copier are up and running and lockers are still available for reservation.  And don’t forget to stop by to fill your water bottle – it’s important to stay hydrated!

Enjoy TLC, even in the off-season. Use your Palacard to swipe in after hours.

0 comments › June 10th, 2018 @ 6:46 am › Filed in Library Services › Tagged with Home Page, Scan and Deliver

What is Scan and Deliver?  Scan and Deliver is an article and book chapter delivery service.  When you need an article from a journal or a chapter from a book which is owned by the library only in print or microformat, we will scan the article/book chapter and deliver it to you electronically through your ILLiad account.

What can be requested?  Articles (up to 25 pages) from journals held by the campus Libraries which are in print or microform, as well as book chapters.

What cannot be requested?  Materials in Special Collections and Archives and items on Reserve are not available for scanning through Scan and Deliver.

Who is eligible?  Furman University students, faculty, and staff are eligible for this service.

How do I submit a request?  To submit a request, log into your ILLiad account and click the new request link for either article or book chapter.  Fill in your citation information and submit your request.

How will I receive my requests?  When your scanned article or book chapter is available, you will receive an e-mail notification directing you to log into your ILLiad account to retrieve the scan.  The scanned material will remain in your account and be available for viewing for 30 days.

How long will it take to fill my request?  We strive to fill requests on the same day they are received, excluding weekends and holidays.  However, depending on the number of requests received on any given day, it may take up to 24 hours for requests to be filled.

How much does it cost?  Scan and Deliver is provided by the Interlibrary Loan Department to the Furman University community free of charge.

How many requests can I submit per day?  At this time, there is no limit on the number of requests you can make.

Do you offer color scans or just black and white?  Scans are provided in black and white.  However, color scans are available upon request.

For further information, please contact Elaina Griffith by e-mail or phone (864-294-2198) during office hours: 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. This is an exciting new service, and we urge you to take advantage of it.  We hope you will find that it makes your research process less stressful and more productive.

Unhinged Sextet, a jazz ensemble comprised of six leading jazz educators from across the United States, is dedicated to recording the original compositions of its members. They released their second recording, “Don’t Blink,” in August 2017, on OA2 Records, a Seattle record label. Like their first recording, “Clarity,” “Don’t Blink” has received worldwide radio airplay and numerous positive reviews in jazz publications like Cadence magazine and All About Jazz. Matt Olson, co-founder and leader of the Unhinged Sextet and a professor of music at Furman, has performed with a number of renowned artists, including Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mathis, Wayne Newton, the Temptations, the Four Tops, children’s entertainer Shari Lewis, the Chicago Jazz Ensemble and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
