Trexler Library Scuttlebutt

A Bi-Weekly Update
4/23/10

Brand Spankin’ New

Trexler Library’s website has been updated! The site’s new design matches the rest of the college’s website redesign. Don’t worry, though — all your favorite resources and content are where they have always been. Check out the new and improved look at http://muhlenberg.edu/library/.

New Online Ordering Form

Faculty, staff, and students submitting purchase requests for the library collection can now do so using a newly designed online form with a new URL. The new URL ishttps://library.muhlenberg.edu/acquire~S0.

PLEASE NOTE: If anyone submitted orders using the old URL after Jan. 11, it is likely these orders never made it to us. Please either check with Karen Gruber to see if the orders were received or simply resubmit the orders using the new form.
