Research Help
It’s not too late to get help with end-of-the-semester papers
and research projects.
While they won’t be available in the wee hours of the
mornings, the reference librarians at Carlson and Suhr
Libraries will be available during weekdays and most weekday evenings until
9:00 p.m., as well as on Saturday at Suhr Library and Sunday afternoon in
Carlson Library.
Stop by the Libraries or call Carlson Library at 393-2490 or Suhr Library at
676-6591. Distance Education Students… you may use the special toll-free
number provide just for you.
Online Chat services are also available when the reference librarians are on
duty. When our librarians are not on duty, you may chat with a librarian
from another institution.
If immediate feedback is not crucial (or if it’s a time when the reference
librarians are not on duty), you may submit requests for assistance using
our Ask A Librarian online reference form. It is available at the Libraries’
Website (www.clarion.edu/library) under the “Library Help” heading.
Don’t forget about all the tutorials and resource lists also available at the
Libraries’ Website.
Library Tip: Protect Your Valuables!
The end of the semester and the academic year are
times when you should take extra care to protect your
valuables. Don’t leave backpacks, purses, MP3 players,
computers, or other valuables unattended. They could
disappear before you know it.
Library Tip: Avoid Late Fees
Avoid library fines and lost item charges by returning books and
media on time. Most items are due back at the library on
Wednesday, April 29.
Computer Tip: Grammar Rules!
Have you ever found yourself wondering about the rules MS Word is using
to make its grammar recommendations when you check your documents?
Wish you could tell Word to stop checking a few things that just drive you
crazy?
In Word 2007, click on the
Office Button (the colorful, four-leaf clover-like
button on the top left of the screen), Word Options button (bottom of the
newly opened window), and choose Proofing.
Once there, you can select and deselect a variety of options. One to pay
attention to is the Writing Style choice.
Using the drop down list, you can choose to have Word check either the
"Grammar Only" or "Grammar & Style." What is the difference? Click the
Settings button. The Grammar Settings window will open, displaying the
choices for Grammar checks.
When you select "Grammar Only," you only get the grammar portion of
the list. In contrast, the "Grammar & Style" choice will have items from
both parts of the list selected. (Notice that you can toggle between the two
Writing Style choices at the top of the window, allowing you to easily
compare the two).
Scroll through the list.
You're free to check or uncheck items as you see fit.
When you are done, click
OK and then OK again.
That's it! Now you know where to find Word's control over the Grammar
check.
Something to Think About:
You can find
on the outside
only what you
possess on
the inside.
