Reference at Newman Library

BPL 5100 team building exercise

Several students in a BPL 5100 class came by the reference desk tonight. As part of a team building exercise, they have numerous items to locate, including a magazine with a page 36.  It didn’t seem that a print out would be acceptable, although I didn’t inquire directly.  I had a supply of old magazines in my office that satisfied the need.  Some students had expected to be able to take a magazine out of the library.  One inquired about ripping out the needed page, which was of course strongly discouraged.  There may be other requests for a page 36 so I thought I would post this information.

One thought on “BPL 5100 team building exercise”

  1. In case the BPL request for a magazine comes up again, I brought in some magazines (mainly old issues of The New Yorker and Time Out New York and some other magazines) that I have placed on the “Free Book Truck.” I was cleaning this weekend and realized that they might be helpful for the students.
