"Food for Fines" Returns!

2009-08-03T14:28:00.002-04:00

The Carpenter Library is now accepting cans of food in lieu of money for patrons who have accumulated overdue fines on their library items over the past year. One can of food is equivalent to $1.00 in library fines. All canned goods will be delivered to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. The Food Bank needs our help - the need is high and the shelves are bare! This summer is the worst the Food Bank has seen in 28 years.

So please consider donating even if you don't have any Library fines . . .

New Study Rooms

2009-03-03T12:53:00.003-05:00

Carpenter Library has recently added two new small group study rooms. In order to facilitate registration and use of all our study rooms, we have renamed the rooms using colors. These include the Red Study (formerly SGI room), Orange Study (formerly Classroom D) and Blue Study (formerly Library Conference Room), and Purple Study and Green Study (new rooms off the History of Medicine Room). Classrooms A and B have not been renamed. Maps are available at the Information Desk. Call 716-4414 with questions or to reserve a room.

Understand Impact Factors

2009-02-19T11:23:00.008-05:00

To help users understand the various impact factors that can be used to help evaluate publication quality, Carpenter Library has launched a new page detailing four different impact factor metrics with explanations on how to use each. Impact factor metrics highlighted are Journal Citation Reports, Eigenfactor, h-index, and Cited Reference Search.

However, as you hopefully know, all impact factor metrics have their shortcomings. To give you a better idea of your "true" impact factor, we believe this comic from PhD Comics is particularly useful:
