We’re using the relative quiet of the Intersession to upgrade a few of our computer labs, and to change some things around. Here’s what you can expect:
Thank you for your patience!

As some of you may be aware, a laptop computer containing some students’ information, including a number of Buffalo State students’ names and social security numbers, was recently stolen (not from Buffalo State). Please see the official Buffalo State “Identity Data Disclosure” page for complete information about what happened, and what you can do to protect yourself.
Affected students are being contacted by mail. In addition, a “name check” station has been set up in E. H. Butler Library at the second Reference Desk in the lower lobby, and is staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. This station will operate until May 9th.
Bring your Buffalo State Student ID, and proof of your permanent address (your driver’s license, utility bill, or a piece of mail), and if your name appears on the list of students whose information has been compromised, you will be provided with a PIN number which you can use to obtain one year of free credit monitoring.
Do you have questions about the name check station? Please feel free to ask them below, and we will do our best to answer them.

The area formerly known as the Reference Room is now called Information Commons. The new name better reflects our vision for this area, as a place where campus information and technology resources are brought together in one convenient location.
Don’t worry, the reference books are still here, and so is the computer lab! But we have just added an Application Support Desk to help students, faculty, and staff with software-related questions. This desk also handles our Equipment Loan service. And the Computing Help Desk will continue to provide assistance with other computing issues, such as logins, passwords, share drives, and the like.
Please visit our updated maps for more information, and thank you for your patience as the library restructures to meet the needs of the Buffalo State community.

This project is over. Thanks to everyone who participated. You can see their work here.
Vinyl is back! Please join us for this groove-y poetry project, sure to make your artistic heart skip a beat. Stop by Lisa’s office (BUTL 218D) to pick up a vinyl LP record of your choice. Then, turn the tables on “square” poetry by creating a poem on the vinyl album using the language and art from the album sleeve. Wax poetic! You can draw, paint, etch, paste, or collage on both sides of the album to create your revolution-ary work. Please include your name somewhere on the album. See Lisa for more information forresla@bufalostate.edu.
Completed albums will be presented as part of the April 16th “April Showers” open mic.
