Welcome Fall Semester 2012

Greetings and welcome back to the Fall Semester at the Mitchell College of Business and Library!  We are so glad to see our students back new and old and hope you will enjoy the time you spend in the Library.  Do remember there is no food or drink allowed in the Library, Group Study Rooms and Computer Labs but we do have trays at the front desk for you to leave your drinks when you come in - and feel free to come drink your drinks at the front desk!

Our hours are 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and on Fridays from 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.  We are always closed on Saturdays but beginning September 9th, we will be open from 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

If you need assistance on any resources in the Library or a class project, I and my staff stand ready to help you - just ask!  Either come to the MCOB Front Desk, call us at 414-8067, send an email request to buscirc@usouthal.edu or reach us on our website with our chat but do give us time to respond as we may be away from our desks for chat time.

Calling all accounting majors!

We have added a new tax accounting database from CCH titled "Intelliconnect".  You will find the database in the listing of our business databases.  I believe you will enjoy the ease of use in search interface as well as the depth of content as you study tax accounting.  And don't forget we also have ARM (Accounting Research Manager) which is an excellent resource for researching accounting topics from one database as well as RIA Checkpoint.  If you need assistant with any of our accounting databases, please stop by the front desk.
