“We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t enjoy helping students,” Schuetz said. “You’re going to reach that point where you’re going to have something that you’re working on where you’re going to need our help, and we’re here. And we’re willing to help.”
“Collections like these allow us to learn about what some individuals were thinking at different times during history, and that is what students are at college to do, which is to learn,” Archer said.
For decades now, the air of love has lingered in the building from wedding ceremonies held in the Foyer of Meditation — one of the library’s most magnificent rooms — and many a knee has been taken in proposal on the stairs within. These stairs lead to two golden clasped hands — a symbol of Robert and Elizabeth Browning’s love, the mid-nineteenth century poets who were the inspiration for the library 72 years ago.
Several facts regarding the Baylor Libraries new OneSearch research tool were misreported in the Sept. 4 Lariat. OneSearch has not replaced BearCat, our long-standing centralized library catalog system. You can quickly search for materials that are located in the Baylor Libraries using the BearCat tab located on the website. OneSearch is our new Web-scale discovery system implemented to provide a more robust search environment. OneSearch is a pre-built index which allows for fast searches of both local materials and content included in many of our research databases.
OneSearch is all it takes to use the Baylor libraries’ new search engine. The search engine is part of the Baylor libraries’ new website.
The old search tool, BearCat, has been replaced as the primary library search engine by a more modern system called OneSearch. OneSearch can go through hundreds of online databases, giving students access to a much wider range of materials, whereas BearCat was limited to materials only at Baylor.
A group of five students kick around a volleyball, playing soccer, around 10:30 p.m. on a Wednesday. They share stories of their day amid laughter. It’s not intramural practice. It’s the second floor corridor between Moody Memorial Library and Jessie H. Jones Library.
Over the years, the central libraries have changed the function of some of their spaces, but no gym has been added. These libraries include Moody, built in 1968, and Jones, built in 1992. In fact, no square footage has been added to the central libraries since their construction.
Baylor students have a new way to write research papers, and it doesn’t involve late nights or Red Bull.
The research paper planner, a new online tool provided by Baylor libraries, offers students a way to plan research projects and papers. By inserting the due date into a textbox on the plan¬ner’s website, students are given a 13-step timeline on how to finish their paper by a certain deadline.
The Baylor University Libraries plan to conclude their Celebration of Texas event with a grand — or rather, giant — event at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Bill Daniel Student Center Den.
