A personal message from the BHCTI Librarian
Friends,
Feel free to contact me when you have questions about finding information related to your coursework or other needs. You can reach me by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or at my home office by calling (740) 455-9730.
In order for me to respond efficiently to your request, there are three things you can tell me:
| 1. | Let me know if you already are using NexLearn for your information needs (I can look it up, but I'll be faster if I know from you). And if your question is about something you found in NexLearn, give me as much citation info as you can about what you found, and where specifically you found it (for example, in FirstSearch, or Seminary Library, etc.) |
| 2. | Let me know what course or assignment (if any) your question is in reference to. |
| 3. | Let me know if there’s a deadline for your request - my goal is to respond within 24 hours (that's a promise to be working with you on the question by then - wish I could always say we'll have a full answer by that time to the question!). |
And finally, do keep me posted about your request. It's beneficial for me to know how your question "fits in" to the bigger context of your research, plus it's helpful to how completely the answer we've found fits with the context of your question.
Don Day
Director of Library and information Services
