Mobile Users: Try the New Library Mobile Site!

m.macalester.edu/library


The library recently launched a new mobile-optimized website.  It is a website designed to work well on mobile browsers and it includes a mobile-friendly WorldCat Local search, as well as links to research databases, contact options including a mobile chat option, and news and events.

The library's mobile site can be found in the Academics section in the College's new mobile site. 
We are interested in your feedback about this new service. You may contact Ask Us or Johan Oberg, Digital Scholarship and Services Librarian, with any questions or comments.

It's Sustainability Awareness Week!

What can you do to celebrate our campus commitment to creating a smaller Mac footprint?
  • Buy a onesie
  • Learn a new print-less technique. 
  • Share a bike
  • Read Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel, and come to Friday's Sustainability Book Club meeting.
  • Nominate your professor to be recognized as a Sustainable Scholar
  • Use our Sustainable Scholar nomination form to tell us the great things Mac faculty are doing in your classroom to be sustainable. You might win a pizza party for your prof and your class.
