Incidents of theft tend to increase during Fall and Spring Breaks. Do not leave valuables unattended. If you would like to rent a library locker, ask at the circulation desk.

March IMC feature: Theremin
The theremin – one of the most interesting and difficult instruments to play. Â Even more interesting is the story behind it. Â Take a look. Â Or better yet, come down to the IMC and play the theremin M-F, 9a-5p in the music listening room.
The catalog is back.
Problems with the catalog have been resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Alert: Catalog problems
There are some problems at the company that hosts our library catalog this morning (Friday 2/19). As a result, the catalog may not function properly until the problems are resolved. You can use the Reed-only catalog to search Reed’s collection until the problems are fixed. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Try out potential new chairs for the library
The library is considering getting new chairs for library desks and computers, and we want your opinion. Come try out the new chairs in the reading room/new pit, and tell us what you think! The test chairs are at the table closest to the staircase.
Happy Data Privacy Day!
January 28th is Data Privacy Day! The day is designed to foster dialogue about how advanced technologies affect privacy in our daily lives. Lots of privacy events are happening around the country. I’ll be interested to watch the archived webcast of the Federal Trade Commission’s Privacy Roundtable at Berkeley.
How will I be celebrating Data Privacy Day? I’m finally going to take the time to have a good look at my Facebook privacy settings.
New Version of EndNote & Date Issues with Version X2
Version X3 of EndNote is available for download from downloads.reed.edu.
Current X2 users may find that items with a publication date of 2010 or later will not import the year data. When this occurs, the year must be added manually (see Support FAQs  for more details).
Both EndNote X3 and EndNote Web import the publication date correctly. The easiest solution is to upgrade to EndNote X3. If a user can not upgrade for whatever reason, an updated fix for X2 can be downloaded from:
http://www.endnote.com/support/ENX201_WinMac_updater.asp.
Please contact CUS or a reference librarian for more information.
