Drop off your non-perishable food before you leave!

Breezy Silver — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:20:00 +0000

We need to beat the University of Michigan in our Food Drive! So don't lug that unused non-perishable food and personal items home. Drop them off at the library. They will go to the MSU Food Bank to help others.

More information: http://www.lib.msu.edu/features/?e=329. Go Green!

New campus-wide access for The Chronicle of Higher Education

Breezy Silver — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:42:00 +0000

The MSU Libraries have purchased campus-wide access to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The site license allows MSU departments and faculty members to save money by cancelling their individual subscriptions to The Chronicle and connecting through the library’s subscription instead.

From a computer on campus, simply go to the Chronicle website: chronicle.com. The entire MSU IP range is covered by the new subscription, so no login or password is needed.

From a computer off-campus, you must connect through the library’s proxy server: http://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url=http://chronicle.com. Without this step, the Chronicle site will not be able to authenticate you as an MSU user. Sign in with your MSUnet ID and password for full access to Chronicle content.

The Chronicle of Higher Education is a leading source for news coverage on the academic sector, student life, online learning, college and university job openings, and more.
