Information Commons
The Information Commons is a new program being offered by the
Butler Libraries and Instructional Technology Commons. Support is
now available not just for research, but also for using technology,
whether "standard" applications like MS Office or "rich media"
applications like Audacity, iMovie, or even equipment such as the
video cameras and recording devices available at Irwin Library's
Circulation Desk.
Training
If you would like individualized training on Excel, Blackboard,
Chalk & Wire, how to add a video to your presentation, how to
edit an audio recording you've made, or any other use of technology
for a course project, please email infocommons@butler.edu to
request a session. One of our Information Commons Assistants will
get back with you to set up an appointment for your training
session.
Contact Information
An Information Commons Assistant is normally available to
assist you at the Information Commons Desks in Irwin Library and
the Instructional Technology Commons during the hours listed below.
You may contact them using the "Ask Us / Get
Help" link in the left sidebar.
You may also contact YOUR librarian directly by
visiting the Liaison page to find the Subject
Specialist for your area.
