American government assignment

We have had several students coming in needing assistance with an American government assignment. Most of the answers are easy to find, expect one.

"Which president wrote under the pen name Juridicious?"

The answer is Millard Filmore.

Here is the response from the LOC:
According to Library of Congress Authorities, Millard Fillmore used the name Juridicus.  http://authorities.loc.gov/

In addition, you can find Fillmore's publication, "An examination of the question, "Is it right to require any religious test as a qualification to be a witness in a court of justice?" Published 1907" on the Internet Archive at: https://archive.org/details/examinationofque00fillrich

Student computer update

Computer number 22 is down. IIT informed us that it has a faulty hard drive and are working to fix it.

Clickable Links to All the Places We Go....

It starts to feel like there is something NEW every time we come into the library.

All our old links, tips and tricks for Perimeter College are not working.

There are some things that EVERYONE should be checking each time you work. See the clickable links below to places you will likely visit each time you work a shift. There is a very quick way to turn these links into snazzy Firefox Shortcut Icons that live on your desktop. If you would like my help, I'd be happy to help you add them the next time you're here. Otherwise, I strongly encourage you to visit each of these links and BOOKMARK or FAVORITE them in your browser of choice.


Thanks for all you do!    ....Amy

Advisement Phone Number

This info from Ann Mallard:

Please note that there is an actual phone number for Perimeter College Advisement which we can give out or call directly.

404-413-2350 – Perimeter College Advisement phone tree main number – student can select campus location from options 1, 2, 3, etc. to contact front desk of any PC advisement center.



And from the advising website, we also have the physical location, and what looks like a local campus number.


Feel free to share these numbers with students.  I think they will like it better than 3535.

More Important Helps for Students (Plus Scanning)

Ch-ch-ch-changes.  That will be our theme this fall. Be sure to read both the  library Intranet and Daily Digest to keep up--if we will still have a Daily Digest.

Here's one of the latest helpful posts about orientation, registration, and (most important) activating the GSU ID. http://www.gpc.edu/dailydigest/node/1369

During intersession when the computer lab in E is closed,  students can use the scanner upstairs in the LTC.  They may need to save the file to a flash drive.  We have some drives to loan at the circ desk.
