Full Suggestion:

Please FIX THE WI-FI in this library!!! We want to be able to study here.

Response:

As you may know, the library doesn't control the wireless network, of course – that is IT – but we work closely with IT to ensure it is working properly. Staff from IT have been in the library MANY times trying to improve the wireless coverage in the building.

We work regularly to try to adjust the Wi-Fi to get the best coverage possible. We have done entire “sweeps” of the building using a laptop with Wi-Fi speed tests. As a result of those tests, IT has made adjustments, and continues to make adjustments when students tell us a particular area in which they are getting a weak/no signal. In November, IT programmed and installed a new Access Point (AP) on the East side of the library near the two big TVs. Earlier this year, IT relocated and/or replaced other APs.

We currently have an open ticket with IT asking them to do check the Wi-Fi connectivity in the building to identify and improve Wi-Fi throughout the library building. Unfortunately, they have not responded (as of 12/6/22).

Bottom line, we are regularly working on this issue. We pride ourselves on providing a stress-free, hassle-free library environment for our students, and we know the Wi-Fi issues are not conducive to those goals.

11/11 - Please purchase the book Blood Ball by William Landis
11/16 - Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
11/16 - I’m glad my mom died by Jenette McCurdy

Response:

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've passed the first two along to the Collections Management folks. The third one I’m glad my mom died by Jenette McCurdy is available as an audiobook.

Full Suggestion: I have really enjoyed Reese's book Club list - which some of the books are available at the duPont-Ball library.

If we could add more of her books to the library inventory that would be great. Thanks.

Response: I’ll send your suggestion to Collections Management personnel.

As you can see from our Collection Development Policy the goal of the library is to support the educational programs of the University. Public Libraries typically have robust popular reading selections to meet the needs of community members and would likely have almost all the titles from Reese’s Book Club. That said, we de collect some popular literature, including titles that are selected for Reese’s or Oprah’s Book Clubs. I believe we use a variety of best sellers lists to make guide those decisions.

Date: 2021-02

Full Suggestion: Kristin Hannah book Firefly Lane

Would love to have this book option since you have her other books.

Response: Great suggestion! We will put in an order for that title.

Date: 2020-03

Full Suggestion: Two requests for two films:
*Movie Request*
Portrait of a Lady On Fire

and

Please get Frozen 2 for patrons to rent.

Response: The library is notified of all films grossing more than $24 million worldwide. We purchase many of them. So, we already have Frozen 2.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is currently in theaters. I will pass this title along to our Collections Management folks so patrons may borrow it once it's available.

Date: 2020-02

Full Suggestion: There is dog poop on one of the chairs by the t.v.'s. It's on the bottom.

Response: We did not find any dog poop in the area you mentioned. I'm hoping that our fantastic housekeeper Francia cleaned it in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for making it your duty to report the issue.

Date: 2020-02

Full Suggestion: Slightly warmer temperature

Response: I'm guessing that your suggestion has to do with the temperature inside the building and I couldn't agree more. I'm freezing up in here!

I'll pass this along.

Date: 2020-02

Full Suggestion: Chairs with wheels by the t.v.s.

Response: Thanks for the suggestion. We're not done purchasing new furniture for the library, so we'll definitely keep this in mind.

Which would you rather have? Chairs with wheels or chairs with padding?

Date: 2020-02

Full Suggestion: 'Walk Hard' movie
John C. Reilly

Response: Thanks for the suggestion. I passed the title on to our Collections Management folks.

Full Suggestion:
More cat pictures.

Response:
Thank you for your suggestion. I couldn't agree more! If you've visited the Children's Literature section on the 2nd floor, you've seen photos of staff animals, including several cats.

Here's a pic of my geriatric cat, Punky. I've known him since 2003.

If you want more cat photos to peruse (or purruse), take a look at my favorite internet-famous cat, Lil BUB. She's the cutest!

Date: 2019-10

Full Suggestion:

For the individual study rooms, I think that having a canister of wipes for the table would be useful.

Sometimes the tables are very dirty and have finger prints, food stains, etc. Many times I get napkins from the restroom and wet them with water to wipe down the table.

Having wipes would help prevent the spread of germs and keep those who use the study rooms less likely to get sick. (Many students use these spaces and having wipes can cut down on the spread of diseases/sickness)

Response:
Thanks for your suggestion about having wipes available in the study rooms. If you ask at the front desk for a Lysol wipe or a disinfecting wipe, we can provide one.

Date: 2019-10

Full Suggestion:

Open later on Friday evenings

*if possible

Response:

We will definitely stay open later at the end of the semester when we extend our hours for Finals. This year, the hours will be:

Extended Finals Hours
Friday 6 December – Friday 13 December
Monday – Friday 7 am to 2 am
Saturday – Sunday 9 am to 2 am

Until then, please use the 24/7 area of the library. Room 15L has computers and a printer. Room 8 is for group study. And the Sensory Garden in the Nemec Courtyard has become a popular study spot.

We track the number of people in the library hourly and will analyze the data to see if the cost of staffing the library and keeping the building open after 6 pm on Fridays makes sense.

Fruits Basket is by Natsuki Takaya -- a 23 volume series.

Arata Kangatari, by Yuu Watase, has 24 volumes.

I'll pass these titles along to our Collections Management folks who will consider ordering them.

Date: 2019-08

Full Suggestion: Love is War (manga)

Response: After doing a little searching, I see that this manga series is by Aka Akasaka and that there are 15 volumes. I'll pass this request to our Collections Management Folks who will consider ordering the series.

Date: 2019-08

Full Suggestion:
Good evening! I was recently looking for some fiction books to enjoy and I came to the realization that they were lacking and the books that were present were older in year. I was curious if there was any way to get more Rick Riordan, Cassandra Clare, John Green, Holly Black, Rainbow Rowell, Maggie Stiefvater, etc. Thank you so much for your time!

Response:
Yes. We have some, but certainly not all, of the books written by the authors in your list. For example, the most recently published Rick Riordan book in Stetson's library is The Hammer of Thor from 2016.

We don't have any Cassandra Clare books available for check out.

The library has most of John Green's books. They're in the Young Adult section on the 2nd floor.
The fault in our stars
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Turtles all the way down
An abundance of Katherines
Looking for Alaska

We just have one book by Holly Black: Doll bones from 2013.

The library has two books by Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor & Park from 2013. The 2018 book, Fangirl is currently on the New Books shelves on the main floor.

And finally, the library has two Maggie Stiefvater books -- one is in the Young Adult section and the other is in the Juvenile section.

I'm going to pass your suggestion along to our Collections Management team to look into adding recent titles by the authors you mentioned.

Date: 2019-07

Full Suggestion:

Can a plastic recycling bin go inside the library? There is one outside, but I don't want to have to walk outside every time. Plus, have one inside would encourage more people to recycle. Please & thank you!

Response:

One of our main concerns with plastic recycling receptacles inside is that they may draw bugs. That said, the library does want to help people reduce, reuse, and recycle.

We have installed water bottle filling water fountains on all floors. We have new printer release printers that have an option to force a print job to be double-sided. The university switched to LED lights about a year ago.

We will look into getting something that can help keep bugs to make it easier to recycle plastic inside the building!

Date: 2018-02

Full Suggestion: The future of humanity: Terraforming mars, interstellar travel, immortality & beyond our Earth.
Michio Kaku

Response: I've passed this suggestion along to our library acquisitions people. Just to be technical, the title is The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, interstellar travel, immortality, and our destiny beyond Earth, but I knew what you meant.

Also, I bet this book is out if this world!

Date: 2018-02

Full Suggestion: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens agenda by Albertalli, Becky. Published in 2015. It's going to be a movie later this month, I believe.

Full Suggestion: A larger selection of fiction books or books which are considered "popular culture."

Response: We do have these types of book in our collection. Here are a few ideas on how to find them.

1. Browse the New Books shelves located on the main floor of the library, near the group study rooms, on the way to the DVD section. We're always getting new books in, so, take a look. We also put our new DVDs on display on those shelves.

2. Search the library catalog by title or author. Not sure who to search for? Use a bestseller list or a recommended reading list.

3. If you want to browse, know that we organize the collection using the Library of Congress Classification system. Here's what you should know about browsing the fiction shelves in the library.

The P call numbers are the Language and Literature books. If you're looking for books by American authors, written between 1961 and 2000, they're in PS 3550-3576. Books by American authors written since 2001, will be in PS 3600-3626. For example, Roxanne Gay's novelDifficult Women has the call number PS 3607 .A985725 A6 2017.

For 20th and 21st century British authors look in the PR 6000 section.

For YA literature, look in our Juvenile section, in PZ 7. That's where you'll find the Harry Potter series.

Date: 2018-01

Full Suggestion: Hi!

I was browsing Stetson Library's philosophy page (https://guides.stetson.edu/sb.php?subject_id=106839) and I have a couple of suggestions.

Under "best bets!": include the Philosopher's Index (or both PhilPapers and Philosopher's Index). In the "guides" section be sure to include the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (https://plato.stanford.edu/)

Thanks!

Response: This is great feedback! I just added Philosopher's Index as a database best bet (and I'm a little embarrassed that it wasn't already designated as a best bet). We'll work on adding the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy to the Philosophy Research Guide.

Update: The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is now on the Encyclopedias & Dictionaries page of the Research Guide.

Date: 2017-10

I'll be sure to pass your suggestion along to our acquisitions folks.

Date: 2017-07

Full Suggestion: The Stetson Library should open a branch or a service at the Celebration campus. It would be great to have a library presence on the Executive MBA campus.

Response: Thanks for your suggestion. When the Celebration campus first opened, it included a library branch. I’m not sure how long it was there, but it closed because wasn’t economically feasible to keep it open.

The duPont-Ball Library supports graduate students in a number of ways. Our Services for Grad Students page outlines those services. It includes a recorded webinar for Business Graduate Students. We also have a number of Research Guides, organized by subject, that link to relevant databases, journals, and provide research help contact information. There’s a Research Guide for Management, but you might just browse through all the Guides that fall under the Business category.

We recognize that you can’t just pop into the library on your way to class, so we make our databases, online journals, and eBooks available off-campus (connection instructions). We also provide access to physical library materials by mail to Celebration and distance students and faculty. And research librarians are available by phone, text, email to discuss your research needs, provide tips on using licensed databases, recommend relevant research tools, and so on. You can also make a research consultation appointment with us to talk by phone or Skype.

While we’re not physically in Celebration, we’re there for you!

Full Suggestion: Please order a copy of Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho.

Response: Thanks. I've sent your suggestion to our Collections Management team.

Date: 2017-06

Full Suggestion:

These title were recently suggested:

• "The Joker: A Serious Study of the Clown Prince of Crime" by Robert Moses Peaslee and Robert G. Weiner – Book
• DVD “Allied” with Brad Pitt and Marion Cottiard (sp?).
• Could the library get the movies The Duchess (2008) and Dangerous Beauty (1998)?
  

Response:

Thanks for the suggestions! I've forwarded the information to our Acquisitions folks.

BTW, the spelling is Cotillard. I wasn't sure about the spelling either, so I Googled it.

UPDATE: We have the DVD Allied. It's in the Feature Film collection on the first floor of the library.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Please order a copy of Wolfgang Goethe's "Zur Farbenlehre" ("Theory of Colors").

Response: Thanks for the suggestion. I sent it to the folks in our Acquistions Department. I asked them to get a version in English rather than in the original German.

UPDATE: Is this the same book? Geothe's Color Theory.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Here's a radical idea! It's simple and would solve a real problem. The paper towel dispensers in the men's restroom are fastened to the wall shared by the East Room Computer Lab, typically a nice quiet space with the exception of the awful noise made every time a man pulls down and tears a paper towel. It can be disruptive if not accustomed to it. The towel dispensers could be moved and attached to a different wall, perhaps one on the right side of the vanity and one of the door. Perhaps even bolted to the partition of the handicap stall. Anywhere but the Restroom/East room wall. Anything to eliminate that random God awful noise. Thanks for consideration.

Response: I don't find your suggestion to be radical. I think it's wonderful!

I know the sound of which you speak. It's jarring. It's LOUD. It's unnecessary.

After reading your suggestion, I spoke with Sara our Custodian. She told me that the paper towel dispensers would be replaced in our building this summer. We talked about where the new dispenser might be placed so it's less disruptive. There aren't very many placement options, but Sara will do her best to help. Also, maybe the new dispensers will be quieter than the ones we have now. I remain hopeful.

UPDATE: The new dispensers have been installed and are no longer on the wall that is shared with the East Room.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Johannes Brahms "Complete Songs for Solo Voice and piano," the library has Series I, III, and IV. Could you please buy or order Series II so we have the complete set? (M1620 .B825 1979 V.1)

Response: Thanks for your suggestion. I sent it to our Acquisitions folks.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Can the library get the TV show "Lea Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath."? I know the library doesn't buy many TV shows because of cost, but this show is educational on Scientology.

Response: I've heard about that show and it sounds fascinating. That said, as a policy, we only purchase TV series that faculty members request.

Here are some options:
1.) Talk your favorite professor into requesting it.
2.) Get an A&E login from a relative.
3.) Watch some of the full episodes online. Warning: There will be commercials.

Date: 2017-05

Full Suggestion: Could we please get a copy of Disney's Jungle Book? (The Animated one!)

Response: Looks like we just have the 2016 version of the Jungle Book.

I sent your suggestion to our Acquisitions folks.

UPDATE: The Jungle Book has gone back into the Disney Vault, so it's not available for purchase.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Can we have the study rooms be reserved in half hour increments?

Response: We plan to move the study room reservations to Ad Astra for the fall semester. In that system, you should be able to pick a start time and end time for your reservation.

We're using Ad Astra for 25L Reservations. Take a look.

Date: 2017-04

Full Suggestion: Is there a possibility that Stetson can buy more calculators for the library? There seems to be a lack of calculators with the amount of students.

Response: We'll definitely consider it. The two calculators we have were left in the lost and found. Because no one picked them after many months, we decided to add them to the circulating equipment collection.

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: I also don't understand why I have a separate and unique tab every time I locate a new source and wish to save to Refworks. It opens a new tab and ends up with multiple. Unintuitive. Is there a reason for this that I don't understand?

Response: Unfortunately, that’s just how the databases and RefWorks work together. There's a tab for your search results and a tab to manage your RefWorks database. One thing that you might help is to add articles to the Folder view in EBSCO. That will save the articles temporarily until you’re ready to export them to RefWorks. You’ll still have a RefWorks tab to manage, but fewer tabs than if you export each individually. Here's how it works.

From the results list you can add articles to a folder:

Then export to RefWorks:

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: Please put a login on the initial load page for the duPont Ball library. I am never able to log into Ebscohost. I can use my login when loading through the library after I have located an article/book. I am not sure why I can't just start out with my login already in place. If our library defaults to EBSCO why wouldn’t it automatically be the same credentials? I have too many logins for the library.

Response: It's not necessary to set up an EBSCO account to use OneSearch* or the other EBSCO databases, so we won't be adding the EBSCO login to the library's home page. Those who choose to create an EBSCO account do it for the convenience of saving articles and search queries. If you're not saving articles, then you probably don't need an EBSCO account.

BTW, EBSCO is just one of the companies from which we license journals, magazines, newspapers, and other information sources. The library links out to over 200 databases and most of them provide the option to create an account. If we add a link to the EBSCO login, we'd need to add a link to the other database logins. It would be a long list.

You're absolutely right that we have too many usernames and passwords to remember in our lives. In fact, when I think about all my logins, it's like I'm on the highway to the danger zone.

*Note: If you're using OneSearch from an off campus location, you'll be prompted to login with your Stetson username and password to see the same results that you would get when on campus..

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: We need some new computer keyboards for the library. Some of them have fading letters & #s, making it hard to type.

Response: Okay. We'll take a look and see what needs to be replaced.

In the meantime, if you want a fun way to practice touch typing, try Typing Karaoke.

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion:
Suggestion #1: We need an official library cat.
Suggestion #2: I second the cat idea.
Suggestion #3: dude, yeah, a cat

Response: I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, I looked into this last semester. What I learned is that we would need to raise funds to pay for veterinary care, medication, food and other supplies, and boarding over long breaks like the one in December and January. And someone would need to take care of the litter boxes.

Now that the Animal Policy in place, I feel there is little hope for a library cat. Only service animals are allowed in the library and only dogs and miniature horses are recognized as service animals. We do get special permission for therapy animals to visit the library. It's a possibility that if we find a therapy cat we might be able to permission for said cat to become our library cat, but realistically, it's a long shot.

Until we find a certified therapy cat, get permission to have it live in the library, and raise enough money for all the expenses, enjoy some Lil BUB videos.

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: Open before 8 during midterm week.

Response: This might be the first time we've received a request to open earlier. We usually hear "stay open later!"

We will consider your request for future semesters.

The computer lab in the basement of the library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: I would like a wood-turning lathe for the Innovation Lab.

Response: I've forwarded your suggestion to the Dean of the Library. Thanks.

Update: The current Innovation Lab lacks the ventilation system that would be needed for a lathe. Ideally, the Innovation Lab will expand into a space in the basement when donor funding is secured for the project.

Date: 2017-03

Full Suggestion: Please order Peter Handke's The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick.

Response: Thank you for the suggestion. I will send it to our Acquisitions Department for consideration.

Date: 2017-02

Full Suggestion: Please order the New Modern Library Edition of Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow.

Response: I will send that information along to our Acquisitions Department. Thanks for the suggestion!

UPDATE: We need more information about the edition to order it. Can you provide the year of publication? ISBN? Alternate publisher? Email [email protected] with the information.

Date: 2017-02

Full Suggestion: I have heard from many people that the library instruction presentation that gets invited to many classes would be very helpful if it was introduced from the first couple weeks of school before you get your first research paper. There are a lot of things in FOCUS orientation that could definitely be dropped for something that would be more useful such as this. If you put students in the habit of using these resources from the beginning, they will have better research skills. I wish I would have known about it before my Junior year. I am a senior now writing my senior research paper and I am finding that this (RefWorks etc.) would have been way more useful if I was more familiar with it from my freshman year. Just a thought to consider.

Response: Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that library instruction is important. Students need many opportunities in their courses from first year to senior year to learn to collect, evaluate, and use scholarly information to create new knowledge.

My colleagues and I have been discussing our desire to be involved in FOCUS as a way to introduce new students to library services, spaces, and collections. Librarians work with First Year Seminar faculty to incorporate research skills into FSEM courses which includes a librarian visit to some FSEM sections. We’ll continue to do that, at the request of faculty, and will come up with some other strategies to be more visible during orientation. We’re also discussing how to make our individualized research services apparent to students. Our Ask-A-Librarian and Research Consultation services provide one-on-one support to students who need research help.

I’d love to hear from more students about the importance of library instruction to their success. Fill out a suggestion form on the library website or contact me directly at [email protected].

Full Suggestion: We should order Love in the time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block.

Response: I've sent the title to our Acquisitions folks to see about getting a copy for the library. Thanks for the suggestion!

Date: 2016-12

- The Good German (G. Clooney & C. Blanchett)
- Henry V (K. Branagh)
- Carol (C. Blanchett & R. Mara)
Thanks.

Response: Great suggestions! I'll pass these on to our Acquisitions Department.

Date: 2016-12

Full Suggestion: Make the book return stand taller. Bending down is rough, as I'm 6'2" with bad knees. And I feel bad for the staff who have to bend and pick them up. Could you put a drop slot in the top of the desk?

Response: We certainly don't want anyone to be injured using the library! Perhaps you could hand the books to staff instead of putting them in the return slot.

Date: 2016-12

Full Suggestion: I think / suggest the library obtain The Chronicles of Narnia collection (Books, we have the movies). :)

Response: Sorry for the delay in responding. The suggestion replier had to watch "Lazy Sunday" a few times in order to focus. That fun SNL short is the first thing pops into the replier’s head upon hearing a mention of Chronicles of Narnia.

Anyhoo, it turns out that the library owns all 7 books. You have to search for them by the title of the book, not the series. They are located in the Juvenile Collection, which is on the Mezzanine level, aka the 2nd floor. They are listed here, in chronological order. The links will take you to a description of the book in OneSearch. You'll need the call number to find the book on the shelf.

The Magician’s Nephew
The Lion Witch and The Wardrobe. (We have 2!)
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia
The Silver Chair
The Last Battle

Full Suggestion: Halloween is coming up and the library has a display of Halloween movies, however the library does not have any of the classic, non-scary movies. Could the library get some movies such as Hocus Pocus (1993), Casper (1995), Halloween Town (1998) and all the other Halloween Town movies, The Addams Family (1991), and Scooby-Doo (2002). The library doesn't have to get all of these movies, but maybe some of them would be nice. Please and thank you! :)

Response: We’ll do our best. We already have Frankenweenie, so maybe that can hold you over until we buy some more! Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 10/21/2016

Full Suggestion: Get more laptops or make the rules the same as last year please!! 

Response: We have taken notice that the laptops are very popular. We are working on adding more. Students really wanted to keep them overnight, so we changed the “use in the building” policy. We’ll try to keep up with demand. Thanks!

Date: 2016-10

Full Suggestion: Can we order The Lord of the Rings trilogy DVDs?

Response: We did own all three DVDs, but they have been checked out and not returned and are considered lost. We will look into replacing them.

Date: 2016-09

Full Suggestion: We did a very large “weeding” project a couple of years ago to make room for the Hollis Family Student Success Center. We gave away or sold many books that no longer fit the needs of our curriculum. We still withdraw unneeded books, but at a much slower pace. Some of the books we remove from the collection are sold to Better World Books, a socially responsible company that funds many literacy projects. But, rest assured, we don’t just throw books in the trash and any that we don’t sell will be placed in the foyer as FREE BOOKS.

Response:

Date: 2016-09

Full Suggestion: Could the library get the 2014 French version of Beauty and the Beast (La belle et la bete)? Please and thank you! :)

Response: Yes, I'll ask the Acquisitions folks if they can track that down for you. And, you're welcome!

Date: 2016-04

Full Suggestion: Pie during finals with the milk & cookies!

Response: If we are going to serve pie, then we have to change everything about the event. Pie and coffee go together. Introducing pie to milk and cookies will throw off the balance and natural order of things. You can have milk and cookies OR you can have pie and coffee. Having parts of both will cause a ripple in the space time continuum so great our very existence is at stake. The suggestion replier cannot allow this.

Date: 2016-04

Full Suggestion: Please purchase the movie, Walt Before Mickey. Parts of it filmed here at Stetson and in Central Florida. Thanks!--Angela Story

Response: Hey, an Angela Story works in the library. I bet y'all's e-mail gets mixed up all the time. True story. The suggestion replier was asked to be an extra in some of the scenes from Walt Before Disney being filmed in Downtown DeLand. The suggestion replier was a bit over-booked that weekend, and further, the replier figured no amount of makeup, costumes, or soft focus could make him presentable for the camera. The suggestion replier politely passed on the opportunity. Your request will be passed on to our Acquisitions Department.

Date: 2016-04

Full Suggestion: I suggest 50 Shades of Grey be removed from the content in the books and DVD collection. The book, and especially the movie, portrays rape culture-not the BDSM culture. It encourages and condones the act of sexual assault. She agrees to many sex acts because she's too afraid to say no or she doesn't want to lose him. This is not consent. This is not healthy. This is rape. I don't believe the book/movie should be promoted in our school library and community.

Response: Thank you for taking the time to submit a suggestion. I have not read “50 Shades of Grey,” but I have read criticism of the book that ranges from the quality of writing to the more serious allegations of misogyny and rape. This suggestion is similar to an earlier suggestion to remove The Cosby Show from the library’s collection in light of the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, and my response to your suggestion will repeat some of what I wrote in that earlier response. Your objection to the book and the reason to remove it from the collection is its depiction, not of consensual BDSM, but of rape, which is not only illegal but horrid, disgusting, and noxious. But libraries around the world are filled with works of art that depict other illegal acts like murder, theft, and assault and morally reprehensible acts of homophobia, racism, and misogyny. Removing works that depict illegal actions or contain morally questionable beliefs and ideas would leave many libraries almost bare. It leads to the question who gets to decide what is acceptable and not acceptable in art, literature, and any other element of society. The library does not have the right to decide for anyone what can or cannot be viewed or to create barriers to any works in the library. A library’s mission is to provide access to information. The individual library user must decide for him/herself how to best interact with that information. I think we as a society would do more good if we used episodes of objectionable behavior- however they may present themselves - to educate others, rather than banning or censoring that behavior. A few righteous people with passion and conviction can truly make a huge difference in the world.

Full Suggestion: A microwave to heat up snacks please! Thank you.

Response: If only all the suggestions were this polite. The duPont-Ball Library is working frantically to create a vending area for our totes awesome students. It will be glassed in and have coffee, Coke, and vending machines. I think we could have a microwave too, but you have to promise the suggestion replier you will not put metal in a microwave. The suggestion replier did that once by accident, and he ended up with a hole in the door of the microwave.

Date: 2016-03

Full Suggestion: Take all the recycled paper print outs and stack them with blank side up with a sign that says "Note Taking Paper" or something like that. Maybe "Free Expression Paper." I always use these papers and staple them together to make a "new" notebook.--Ariel Zeig

Response: Ariel: We appreciate the creative ideas you have about recycled paper, especially "Free Expression Paper," and the library actually does some of these things. We have a basket of recycled paper sitting on the same table as the staplers, hole punch, and paper cutter. All of our "scratch" paper - the small pieces of paper we use to write down call numbers and the like - is cut from recycled paper. Unfortunately, we would not be able to stack all the recycled paper in the library. Library users go through a lot of paper - on average we collect 1-2 reams of paper per day of print jobs left behind - and trying to stack it all would not work. But feel free to go through our paper recycle bins and use what you like.

Date: 2016-02

Full Suggestion: To have chargers for different Mac/Dell types available to be checked out for library use.

Response: Good suggestion. We do have Dell laptops and chargers available for checkout. We have iPad/iPhone chargers available at the charging station located underneath the TV nearest the Circulation Desk. We do not have any Mac chargers, but we can look into purchasing a couple.

Date: 2016-02

Full Suggestion: Purchase Manning: A father, his sons, and a football legacy

Response: As if it is not bad enough that the suggestion replier has to hear about the "storybook ending" for Peyton and his big ol' forehead and people making lame jokes about "Omaha!" for what will most assuredly be the rest of his life, now you want the library to own a book about the Manning family? Fine, at least it is a book, and reading is good for you. Your request will be passed along to the Acquisitions Department.

Date: 2016-01

Full Suggestion: Display ALL the suggestions and responses on the library page.

Response: Good point. We will work on making all the suggestions appear on the site.

Date: 2016-01

Full Suggestion: I request that the library obtain a copy of the film, "A Little Chaos" (2014).

Response: The library is already pretty chaotic so I am not sure we sure add anymore chaos even if it is a little bit. Oh, that's a movie. And a British period piece too. I will pass this suggestion along to our Acquisitions Department.

Date: 2015-11

Full Suggestion: The Fault in Our Stars

Response: Hey, hey! What do you know? We own this movie. You can find the DVD in the Feature Film section under "Fault." Enjoy!

Date: 2015-11

Full Suggestion: I am requesting the library pull the Cosby Show from circulation in our feature films collection. Given the recent and severe allegations of rape against Bill Cosby, I think it is inappropriate to leave the collection of his TV show available with other feature movies. As an institution of higher learning that takes sexual assault very seriously, allowing Bill Cosby's show to remain in general circulation is inconsistent with university values. This is not an effort to censor history, rather place it in proper context. If students wish to access the Cosby show, they ought to access it in a special collection that has a note explaining why it is not in the general movies section. The note should say the University sees the show as an item of historical, not entertainment value. There should be a section of the note that says the school stands against sexual assault.

Response: Thank you for taking the time to submit a suggestion on what is a very difficult topic. Not just sexual assault, which is vile and repugnant in all its forms, but what to do with the art (literature, films, music, paintings, etc.) created by individuals who commit heinous acts. Just a cursory glance of any library’s collection would reveal works in a multitude of genres and forms by racists, fascists, homophobes, sexists, rapists, and many other people who held detestable beliefs and committed atrocious acts. To remove these works from a library’s collection and place them in a special, presumably removed from public view, section would be to remove some of the greatest works of art and scholarship from around the world. Further, and perhaps more importantly, by segregating these works the library would be removing agency from its patrons on how to best interact with these works. If you as a library patron find Bill Cosby’s alleged actions to be so terrible that you never wish to view an episode of The Cosby Show again, then you have every right to never watch another episode. Others, however, may come to different conclusions involving the entertainment value of the show. The library does not have the right to decide for anyone what can or cannot be viewed or to create barriers to any works in the library. A library’s mission is to provide access to information. The individual library user must decide for him/herself how to best interact with that information. As for your suggestion about placing a note in the record stating Stetson University stands against sexual assault, I think a better alternative would be for people to work to make the world free from sexual assault. If we all put our energies in to making real world changes, then we all could change the world.

Date: 2015-11

Full Suggestion: The Office (TV) Wolf Hall (TV)

Response: Are you suggesting the suggestion replier have an office in Wolf Hall? If so, then the suggestion replier completely agrees. Oh, these are TV shows. As for The Office, we do not buy TV shows unless requested by a faculty member for a class. TV shows can have long runs and take up a large amount of space. Wolf Hall, though, is a mini-series with historical value, and the suggestion replier thinks he can convince the Acquisitions Department to purchase a copy. Who isn't a fan of Henry VIII? Okay, a lot of people.

Date: 2015-11

Full Suggestion: vending machines

Response: This suggestion is from John Smith, most certainly a real name (wink, wink). Well John Smith, the library has been working hard to create more student friendly spaces. This past year, we opened the Hollis Family Student Success Center and created a quiet study zone on the North Side of the mezzanine. In the near future we plan to work on ways to reduce the noise in the library and create more student work space on the main floor that will include vending machines.

Date: 2015-11

Full Suggestion: Miss Saigon (1989)

Response: The suggestion replier thinks you are referring to the Broadway cast recording released in 1989. The suggestion replier will pass this along to the Acquisitions Department, but he finds it difficult to hide his disdain for musicals. The theatre is about exploring what it means to be human and experiencing raw emotion. All they do in musicals is sing and dance in shiny costumes. So while this CD makes its way to the library, the suggestion replier recommends reading some plays by Harold Pinter, Sheila Callaghan, and Eugene Ionesco, just to name a few.

Date: 2015-10

Full Suggestion: Big Eyes starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. Based on the true story of Margaret Keene.

Response: You left out the best part: Tim Burton directed this film. He might not make the same cutting-edge movies he made 20 years ago, but a pairing with Christoph Waltz is intriguing to say the least. I will pass this suggestion on to our Acquisitions Staff and advise that you stay cautiously optimistic.

Date: 2015-09

Full Suggestion: Movie request: Farinelli (1994)

Response: From the movie's Wikipedia page, "[The movie] centers on the life and career of the 18th-century Italian opera singer Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, considered the greatest castrato singer of all time." Sounds fancy. I will pass this along to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2015-08

Full Suggestion: Please buy Downton Abbey season 4 and 5. *smiley face*

Response: We generally do not buy a TV series unless requested by a faculty member for a class, but we already own the first three seasons, so I will pass this on to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2015-06

Full Suggestion: Make a pillow room for de-stressing and relaxing! *smiley face*

Response: I wanted to add a pillow room, a ball pit, and a bounce house to the library, but the mean old library dean would not let me. In lieu of a pillow room, I suggest using the Hollis Center gym to work out your stress and stay healthy. They have many programs to help you out.

Date: 2015-05

Full Suggestion: Jennifer in Tech Services is the best!!! She was very patient with me and spent a lot of time fixing my laptop.

Response: Jennifer is the best, isn't she?!? Fixing tech problems is not even in her job description. Plus, sometimes she brings her cat to work AND NOTHING MAKES LIBRARY PEOPLE HAPPIER THAN CATS! Three cheers for Jennifer!!!

Date: 2015-04

Full Suggestion: There should be a "breakout room" in the library with a microwave, vending machines, hot water for tea, etc. *smiley face*

Response: The library is working on creating a space where we could house vending machines for snacks, drinks, and coffee. It requires a little re-arranging, and we hope to have something in place next summer.

Date: 2015-04

Full Suggestion: I think that the library should allow students access to a color printer, which of course would charge students a set fee per page. This would be convenient for students.--Aviar Tatem

Response: Aviar, thank you for your suggestion. The library is working on ways to improve the printing experience for students, and we are investigating how we can offer color printing to students. We will keep everyone updated.

Date: 2015-04

Full Suggestion: Boy Meets World (Seasons 1 & 2)

Response: Ah, Boy Meets World starring Ben Savage (Fred's younger brother), Danielle Fishel as Topanga, and William Daniels as the wise Mr. Feeny. While we are delighted you suggested this for the library, we do not purchase TV shows unless they are requested for a class.

Date: 2015-04

Full Suggestion: Motocrossed (Movie)

Response: My crack research has informed me this Disney movie is an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night (?!?)." Unfortunately, the movie is not available on DVD. We will keep an eye out in case the movie is ever issued on DVD.

Date: 2015-03

Full Suggestion: The library's DVD collection is large but unorganized. I think many students would appreciate it if someone organized the section or if you hired someone to organize the section and keep it organized as I understand that even once it is organized it can be difficult to keep up.

Response: I could give you a long answer about how the Library of Congress classification system does not allow for organizing feature films by subject, but that would be boring and nerdy and make me sound too much like a cataloger. The DVDs are arranged in the order we received them, so the latest DVDs to be added to the collection are at the end. We have discussed various ways to organize the DVDs, but they all have their good and bad sides. What way would you like the DVDs to be organized? Feel free to leave new suggestions with your ideas about organizing the DVDs.

Date: 2015-03

Full Suggestion: I would like to say that I love this library very much and it is probably the place I have spent the most time during my years here. However, I would like to make a suggestion, or a request, or both I guess in an effort to improve the selection of good resources. I have been studying the subject of ‘Justice’ for the past two years, and I have read nearly every book on the topic of justice in this library’s political philosophy section, while there are plenty of good books on the subject I feel this library should acquire the work of Michael Sandel, who is the most prominent contemporary author on ‘justice’. We really need to have his book Justice: what is the right thing to do on the selves.

Response: First, way to go on spending so much time in the library. We can already tell you are an intelligent person destined for great things. Second, we love when people request books, especially books on highfalutin topics like this. I will pass along your request to our Acquisitions Department. Thanks for taking the time to make the library's collection better.

Date: 2015-02

Full Suggestion: It would be nice if there were more trees and plants in the Library. There's just one lonely ficus.

Response: That ficus tree is a loner. A solitary wanderer through this chaotic time we call life. Its soul was forged in fire, and the mold broken upon completion. That tree could know no companionship as it it was built to endure alone. We could all learn a thing or two from that ficus tree.

Date: 2015-02

Full Suggestion: Why is there constant streams of news on big screen TVs in the Library? It's nothing more than constant interruptions.

Response: The library is a place to access information, and news on current events is a form of information. They have provided a place for students, faculty, and staff to gather as big events unfolded.* Yes, they can be distractions, but that is why we have placed them as far as possible from main study areas. *Those big events have included the World Cup, the Olympics, the election of a new pope, and various tragedies and heartwarming stories that are oft times best experienced as a community. Although the Circulation Staff still have not forgiven me for turning on the World Cup.

Date: 2015-02

Full Suggestion: Buy the movie "The Prince of Egypt."

Response: The movie stars the delightfully odd Val Kilmer, so I see no reason we cannot buy it. I am not guaranteeing anything, but I will pass it along to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2015-02

Full Suggestion: Very interested in Downton Abbey. Please purchase season 4 and remaining seasons as they become available. Thank you.

Response: *Faints straight away at the sight of such scandal* We generally do not buy a TV series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space. BUT we already own the first three seasons, so I will pass this on to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2015-01

Full Suggestion: Would you purchase a copy of Discourse on the Method by Rene Descartes?

Response: We own several copies of this book in both physical and electronic format. You may find the physical books under this call number: B1848 .E5 H35 1996 If you ever have difficulty finding an item in the library, then please ask to speak to one of our Research Librarians. We are always glad to help you find books, journal articles, and any other wonder of the library.

Date: 2015-01

Full Suggestion: When students are being loud, one of the nice librarians should get up from behind their counter and notify the offending students of their inappropriate behavior. The quiet study area is The Library.

Response: The duPont-Ball Library strives to meet the needs of the Stetson Community. Some students use the library to research and write papers; some use it for group projects and as a place for study groups to meet; and others use the library for quiet study and reflection. When the library becomes very busy, it can be difficult to find a quiet study area. The library is working hard to create a quiet study space in the building. Until then I suggest the outer part of the mezzanine or the bottom floor as great quiet study areas. Of course we also ask for everyone to be respectful and courteous to their fellow students as they work and study hard. If someone is being disruptive, then please speak with one of the library staff at the desk and they can talk to the disruptive student.

Date: 2015-01

Full Suggestion: Is there any possible way to set the news channels for the main 2 TVs to CNN and Fox News to keep the neutrality?

Response: We actually have 3 TVs in the main area of the library. One is set to CNN, one to Fox News, and the other to CNBC (Financial News).

Date: 2014-12

Full Suggestion: Rosetta Stone for Italian and other languages.

Response: We subscribe to a database called Mango Languages that rivals Rosetta Stone for its effectiveness. Mango includes a variety of resources to help patrons learn practical conversation skills for languages spoken all around the world. Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. Some of the languages found in Mango include Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Farsi, French, Italian, Hebrew, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and many others. You can access Mango from the databases page on the duPont-Ball Library website.

Date: 2014-12

Full Suggestion: Hall or Mirrors by Barry Eichengreen

Response: A request for a serious academic book (Published by Oxford University Press, no less.) is treated with the utmost respect and care. I will expedite this request to our Acquisitions Department.

Date: 2014-12

Full Suggestion: It would be nice to encourage students to respect other students need for quiet to concentrate.

Response: The duPont-Ball Library strives to meet the needs of the Stetson Community. Some students use the library to research and write papers; some use it for group projects and as a place for study groups to meet; and others use the library for quiet study and reflection. During midterms and finals when the library becomes very busy, it can be difficult to find a quiet study area. The library is working hard to create a quiet study space in the building. Until then I suggest the outer part of the mezzanine or the bottom as great quiet study areas. Of course we also ask for everyone to be respectful and courteous to their fellow students as they work and study hard. I will post a webpage announcement asking students to remember to be courteous and respectful.

Date: 2014-11

Full Suggestion: I see that you have the movie, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." I would really like to checkout the sequel to this movie called, "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," but you don't carry it. Do you think that the library could add this DVD to their collections\? I would love to check it out. Thank you!

Response: Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll righty then! I will pass along this request to our Acquisitions Staff, but I have to warn you the sequel in no way lives up to the high standards set by the first movie. "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" should be spoken about with the same reverence given "Citizen Kane," "Bande a Part," or "La Dolce Vita." The move is a truly great masterpiece.

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: More novels

Response: Yes! Novels for everyone. But my question to you, dear suggester, what kinds of novels? So many kinds of novels exist in so many genres and styles and languages. Please let us know your favorite type and we will purchase them. Ask your friends, too, and let us know what they think. Ask the whole campus so we all can read!

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: Replace American Movie

Response: I think you are referring to this American Movie. I will pass the suggestion along to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: Get some Martin Amis novels!!!

Response: Jeez, three exclamation points. You are serious in your demands. We own two Amis novels (see below), and I will forward your request to our Acquisitions Department. Time's arrow, or, The nature of the offense PR6051 .M5 T5 1991 Money : A suicide note PR6051 .M5 M6 1986

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: Great service provided.

Response: Thank you! One of our main goals at the duPont-Ball Library is to provide outstanding service to the Stetson Community. Of course, this is really easy with all of the tremendous Stetson students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: Would it be possible to buy some of the history books by Keith Dockray? Several of his works are sourcebooks that collect important primary sources together in one volume. Most of his work focuses on the era of the Wars of the Roses or the later Tudor monarchs. This would especially be helpful for the Early English History class. Thank you.

Response: A request for a book? That can be used for academic research? Why, I feel light-headed. I will send this over to the Acquisitions Staff, and we will explore the best books to purchase for the collection.

Date: 2014-10

Full Suggestion: Label the computers with sound enabled.

Response: All public computers in the library should have sound enabled, but some glitches exist. We are working on re-imaging the computers to correct this, but until that is complete if you are not able to get sound on a computer, then log-off and log-on to the computer. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Date: 2014-09

Full Suggestion: Somewhere--Sofia Coppola

Response: Yes, I am sure Sofia Coppola is somewhere. She cannot be nowhere, right? Oh, this is a movie suggestion. Jeez, we have moved from commands to post-modernist haikus, but I will pass this suggestion on to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2014-09

Full Suggestion: Buy this movie! "Without a Paddle" It's a dope ass comedy!

Response: Don't tell me what to do. I will buy this movie if I feel like it. And while I am cogitating on whether or not to buy this movie, might I suggest a perusal of one of our thesauri? I am sure we can think of many better terms than "dope ass." Maybe "a sterling comedic endeavor by first-rate thespians."

Date: 2014-08

Full Suggestion: It might be nice if students were able to check-out books online and then go to the library to pick them up. I heard we can do this with movies, so if this resource is already available for books, how may I access it?

Response: We currently do not offer any online checkout of books or videos. This is a great idea that many businesses use, but we do not have the resources in the library to offer this. Maybe one day. Thank you for using the library and please let us know if you have any other questions.

Date: 2014-08

Full Suggestion: Option for color printing

Response: Color prints are available at the Stetson print shop for a nominal fee. Color printing is very expensive, and at this time the duPont-Ball library does not have the resources to offer color prints or copies.

Date: 2014-05

Full Suggestion: Already suggested previously, but it would be great to have more recent GMAT books from the top publishers.

Response: The library subscribes to the database“GMAT Practice Tests.” Go to the library’s homepage, click on the tab “Databases,” and then scroll down until you see GMAT Practice Tests. If you are off-campus, then you will need to log-in with your Stetson network ID.

Date: 2014-04

Full Suggestion: You guys should buy "Pharmaceutical Self: The Global Shaping of Experience in an Age of Psychopharmacology" (School for Advanced Research Advanced Seminar) by Janis Jenkins and "Drugs for Life: How Pharmaceutical Companies Define Our Health" (Experimental Futures) by Joseph Dumit. Both are very interesting reads that theorize how pharmaceutical companies may be changing our ideas of health and I personally really want to read them for my research over the summer!!.

Response: But what should the gals buy? Anywho, since I have such a special place in my heart for book requests, especially those with long titles filled with multisyllabic words, I will pass these requests on to our Acquisitions Staff. But you have to promise me you are not going to use these books to start some Walter White side project.

Date: 2014-04

Full Suggestion: One hundred years of solitude

Response: Yes, I could use a vacation, but one hundred years seems like an awful long time, especially considering I have to get tenure. Oh, were you requesting the book? Well, you are in luck because we already own the book. The call number is PQ8180.17.A73 C513 Happy reading.

Date: 2014-04

Full Suggestion: The Black Legend of Prince Rupert's Dog: Witchcraft and Propaganda During the English Civil War By Mark Stoyle University of Exeter Press ISBN 9780859898591

Response: Wow! Look at all the information provided. Very impressive. We love dogs around here, so I will enthusiastically pass on this suggestion to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2014-04

Full Suggestion: Economist. April. Latest Issue.

Response: The latest issue of The Economist was published on 19 April. It usually takes a few days for a periodical to be shipped to us, received, and placed on the shelves. As an example, the 12 April issue of The Economist was stamped received on 15 April. We do still have access to the latest issue of The Economist via our electronic databases. The database ABI/Inform has the full-text of all the articles from the 19 April issue. If you have any trouble finding or accessing any library resource, print or electronic, then please ask one of our Research Librarians.

Date: 2014-03

Full Suggestion: How about a vending machine in the library?

Response: What should we vend? We already dispense the knowledge and wisdom of recorded history.

Date: 2014-03

Full Suggestion: Could you please buy a copy of The End of the Suburbs by Leigh Gallagher? Also, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, and Saga by Brian K Vaughan. Both of these series have trades out, so the library can buy collections of several issues instead of getting them one by one. The Sandman in particular has a two volume omnibus with the entire series.

Response: You are all over the place with these suggestions, but any request for graphic novels is triply endorsed by yours truly. I will send these titles to our Acquisitions staff and remain, as always, cautiously optimistic.

Date: 2014-03

Full Suggestion: "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher

Response: But no one asked! Seriously though, this seems to be a well-meaning book about teenagers and suicide, a New York Times bestseller too. I will pass this suggestion on to our Acquisitions staff.

Date: 2014-03

Full Suggestion: Could we acquire the Ethnologue: Languages of the World, 16th Edition? It's a comprehensive reference volume of all living languages and would be a valuable asset to the library. Thank you for the consideration. :)

Response: Wow! Someone wants us to buy a book. We at the duPont-Ball Library are thrilled with any request for not just a book, but a book that will be used in research and study. I will giddily pass this along to our Acquisitions Staff.

Date: 2013-12

Full Suggestion: You guys rock! Thanks for all your work. Library rocks! #ClubduPont

Response: Aw shucks! Thanks. We are all blushing.

Date: 2013-11

Full Suggestion: Miyazaki films would be a great addition to the video selection-also, an easily searchable video catalogue would be beneficial.

Response: According to Wikipedia, Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese film director, animator, manga artist, producer, and screenwriter. I am all for Japanese films and will pass along your suggestion to the Acquisitions Staff.
As for a video catalog, all our videos may be searched via the library catalog. Here are two brief tutorials on using the catalog: http://guides.stetson.edu/LibraryFind and http://guides.stetson.edu/Catalog

Full Suggestion: MCAT study books

Response: We have MCAT study guides and practice tests available electronically. From the library's home page click on Databases by Title and scroll down to MCAT Practice Tests.

Date: 2013-10

Full Suggestion: All books by Ellen Hopkins (followed by a list of titles)

Response: More of a command than a suggestion, but at least it is for books. Ellen Hopkins is a New York Times best selling YA author who really likes one word titles. I will pass along your suggestion to the Acquisitions staff and remain, as always, cautiously optimistic.

Date: 2013-10

Full Suggestion: The West Wing TV series on DVD, please?

Response: Let's walk and talk. We generally do not buy a TV series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space. We do have several books on the series including The West Wing: the American presidency as television drama (PN1992.77 .W44 R658 2003) and the e-book Inside the West Wing: An unauthorized look at television's smartest show.

Date: 2013-10

Full Suggestion: Have a dedicated physical section of self-help books.

Response: After doing some searching I discovered, unlike public libraries, self-help books do not have one section in the Library of Congress classification scheme. (Public libraries organize their books using a different system than academic libraries.) Self-help books can be found in the BF, HV, and RC sections depending on the subject. If you are looking for self-help books on a specific topic, then we can more easily direct you to a book that will meet your needs.
As for physical books, for the past several years the duPont-Ball Library has made a concerted effort to purchase only e-books for our collection. This is typical of most academic libraries today. Why? The library has a space crunch, and e-books do not use any physical space in the library. Purchasing e-books also allows us to keep our collection very current. Not to mention changes in publishing models and an ever increasing demand for electronic resources. Plus, an e-book can be accessed anytime and from anywhere as long as it is not checked out.

Date: 2013-09

Full Suggestion: Would you please purchase MCAT study books?

Response: We have MCAT study guides and practice tests available electronically. From the library's home page click on Databases by Title and scroll down to MCAT Practice Tests.

Date: 2013-09

Full Suggestion: Would you please purchase the documentary The Buena Vista Social Club?

Response: The Buena Vista Social Club is a great documentary, and its soundtrack is phenomenal. I will pass this request along to our Acquiisitions Staff with my wholehearted support. Thanks for requesting such a great movie.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: I'm an RA in Emily Hall and my theme is minions. I would like to show this movie as a program for my residents.

Response: I applaud the use of themes, but am a bit concerned about your fascination with having minions. While I can pass along this suggestion to our Acquisitions Staff, please note the library does not purchase public performance rights to the movies we buy. Check with Campus Events about public performance of movies.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: Make sure that the books that we have here are actually showing in the database. I have typed in an exact title and the book doesn't show up, but I have found it in the shelves.

Response: Please e-mail Dr. Jason Martin ([email protected]) with title of the book and where you were searching so we can better understand and correct the issue. Here is a guide to finding items in the library: http://guides.stetson.edu/LibraryFind

Date: 2013-09

Full Suggestion: You guys should get the movie Rad. You guys should get the movie Ninja Assassin.

Response: Judging by the hand writing these requests came from the same person. We guys could get this movie, or you could use your time in college to expand your movie predilections beyond BMX racing and orphaned ninjas. I am not judging, just humbly suggesting. I will pass the suggestion along to our Acquisitions staff and remain, as always, cautiously optimistic.

Date: 2013-08

Full Suggestion: Would it be possible to acquire My Cousin Vinny on DVD?

Response: Doesn't anyone want to watch a nice foreign film? I will pass the suggestion along to our Acquisitions staff. Wait...I just discovered this movie stars Ralph Macchio so I am pretty sure this is a must have for us.

Date: 2013-08

Full Suggestion: Please get The Smartest Kids in the World by Amanda Ripley. It came out on Aug. 13 2013.

Response: Happy day, someone requested a book! I will pass the suggestion along to our Acquisitions staff. Thank you for using the library.

Date: 2013-05

Full Suggestion: The spy series Archer is great. Could we get it here in the library on DVD?

Response: We generally do not buy a TV series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space. You may be very disappointed in this answer, but before you go on your own Terms of Enrampagement, try taking out your frustrations on Woodhouse.

Date: 2013-03

Full Suggestion: We need more books on slavery in the U.S. There are barely any books on it in general. It is very disappointing. Thanks!

Response: I am very sorry you were not able to find resources you needed for your research. Doing a few quick searches on a couple of subject headings related to slavery in the United States I found several hundred items including print books, e-books, videos, and other various other formats. Perhaps one of our research librarians would be able to help you. Please call one of our reseach librarians using the phone number and during the hours provided on the Research Services page. stetson.edu/library/departments_reference.php

Date: 2013-05

Full Suggestion: I often stay late at the library to study. I also tend to do a lot of studying on Fridays (to get ahead). Could the library stay open late on Fridays. (Say to 9 PM instead of 5 PM?) Thank you.

Response: We appreciate your hard work and using the library as a place to study. The library does have extended Friday hours during finals, staying open until 1:00 am. As for the rest of the semester, our studies have shown there is not enough use of the library during evening/night hours on Fridays to justify staying open later. The computer lab downstairs of the library is open 24 hours a day.

Date: 2013-04

Full Suggestion: Please purchase 'Fire & Desire' by Brenda Jackson

Response: Here is a snippet of Amazon.com's description of the book: 'If only his broad shoulders and wickedly sexy smile didn't send her senses into flames.' I am not sure this fits into our collection development plan, but I will pass the suggestion along to our Acquisitions staff. Thank you for using the library.

Date: 2013-04

Full Suggestion: Please buy Good Hair

Response: Great news! We already own Good Hair. You can find the DVD on the Main Floor of the library under call number TT972 .G66 2010

Date: 2012-02

Full Suggestion: Please buy St. Elmo's Fire

Response: First it was The Breakfast Club, now St. Elmo's Fire. Is there an Ally Sheedy fan club on campus? I will pass this suggestion along to our Acquisitions staff.

Date: 2013-01

Full Suggestion: Some neo maxi zoom dweebie requested the library purchase the DVD of The Breakfast Club.

Response:

Once Barry Manilow is done raiding the closet of the Acquisitions staff, I will pass this suggestion along to them.

PS: You have to have seen the movie to completely understand this post."

Date: 2013-02

Full Suggestion: Please subscribe to the journal Food and Foodways

Response: I will pass this suggestion along to the Acqusitions staff, but please understand sunscribing to a journal is not the same as buying a book. A subscription is a recurring cost which usually increases each year. The library can not simply subscribe to a year here or there; a periodical or database subscription requires a long-term commitment from the library. If you need articles from a journal to which the library does not subscribe, then you may request those articles through Interlibrary Loan.

Date: 2015-01

Full Suggestion: What's the Worst That Could Happen?; A Series of Unfortunate Events; Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

Response:

The library did own a copy of A Series of Unfortunate Events, but it appears the copy was lost. We generally try to buy replacement items for lost or damaged materials. I will pass this suggestion along with the other two titles to our dedicated Acquisitions staff.

PS: We own the Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events book series. They are located in the Juvenile section on the library's main floor. They all start with the call number PZ7.S6795"

Date: 2015-01

Full Suggestion: Would the library please purchase a copy of Charles Terry's The Four-Part Chorals of J.S. Bach?

Response: Your library is here for your research needs. We own this work, and a copy may be found on the main floor in musical scores under call number M3.1.B2 T31

Date: 2012-12

Full Suggestion: Can we get an electric stapler for the circulation desk? The manual ones are always jamming.

Response:

Ah, the stapler saga. I will repeat the answer I gave in October below. Let me tell you a little story about students and staplers.... We have tried electric, we have tried heavy duty, we have tried every conceivable type of stapler known to man. But no stapler has ever been a match for the pounding of the Stetson student. The electrics just didn't hold up at all... probably because too many people try to staple papers that are just too thick for an electric.

So I'm afraid that you are stuck with whatever we can find that works. Please remember that we provide the stapler, hole punch, paper cutter, etc., for our students' convenience and we hope you find them useful.

Date: 2012-12

Full Suggestion: Movie: Time Traveler's Wife

Response: I'll pass this suggestion on to our Acquisitions staff.

Date: 2012-12

Full Suggestion: I suggest that everyone love the library as much as I do.

Response: Wiser words were never spoken.

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: I loved the movie Dirty Dancing. The library's copy is missing, can we buy another one?
Please order P.S. I Love You.

Response: (Dirty Dancing) Typically we wait a year to replace a missing item, but since Dirty Dancing is such a popular movie, we will pass along the suggestion to our Acquisitions Staff.
(P.S. I Love You) Funds for popular movies are limited, but we do buy based on suggestions. We will pass this along to our Acquisitions Staff.
(Entourage) We generally do not buy TV series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space. Thank you for the suggestions.
PS--Seriously, y'all, stop watching so many rom coms and start reading more books. The library has a ton of 'em.

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: We need color printers. Where can students find a color printer?

Response: Color printing is available, for a fee, from the print shop.

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: I would love to see the library, if funds are available, purchase the full collection of James Bond movies, please.

Response: Funds for popular movies are limited, but we do buy based on suggestions and the Bond franchise is a rather iconic series. I'll pass this on to our acquisitions staff. Thank you for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: The library should offer cultural credit if a student checks out a certain movie or book from an (approved) list and write a short summary about it. That way, students can get cultural credit on their own time!

Response: Students can earn some 'make-up' cultural credits by watching designated videos in Media Services. Cultural credit, however, is designed to encourage students to participate in the many wonderful events that go on at Stetson. We have some great speakers come to campus to lecture on a variety of topics and students should take advantage of hearing some of those visitors. Cultural credit is also available for many 'experiential' opportunities offered here. So while I appreciate your suggestion, I would rather leave the book and movie viewing to students for their own enjoyment and encourage you to take part in all that Stetson has to offer - for credit! These opportunities are part of a well-rounded liberal arts education - and they will be harder to come by once you leave school. Enjoy!

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: The Midnight Breed Series

Response: We currently own Kiss of Crimson, book two in the series, as an e-book. We will look into the possibility of buying the other titles. Thank you for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-11

Full Suggestion: The Parent Trap (1990's era); Fiddler on the Roof; Interview with the Vampire; Sister Act 1 and 2

Response: Thank you for these suggestions. I will pass these titles on to our Acquisitions staff. PS: We have the original Broadway cast recording of the Fiddler on the Roof on CD. Check it out today.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: An electric stapler would be way more efficient.

Response: Ah, the stapler saga. Let me tell you a little story about students and staplers.... We have tried electric, we have tried heavy duty, we have tried every conceivable type of stapler known to man. But no stapler has ever been a match for the pounding of the Stetson student. The electrics just didn't hold up at all... probably because too many people try to staple papers that are just too thick for an electric.

So I'm afraid that you are stuck with whatever we can find that works. Please remember that we provide the stapler, hole punch, paper cutter, etc., for our students' convenience and we hope you find them useful.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Can the library please acquire more juvenile books on history, science, and popluar figures? They are more concise and easier to help with research.

Response: If you are asking for more juvenile books in these subject areas, we will take a look and see if we need to beef up those areas. If you are asking us to buy juvenile books to support college-level research, however, that is not something we would support. We have a broad collection of books, reference books, ebooks, and tens of thousands of full-text journal titles to help you with your research. And if you are struggling with sources, please ask a librarian for help. Follow Up: We have just ordered more Juvenile history books. We will soon be adding more Juvenilescience and biography.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Bewitched, Series of Unfortunate Events

Response: I am guessing you are asking for us to buy these titles in movie format rather than in book format. Are you asking for the Bewitched movie or the TV series? We generally do not buy television series, although we have made a few exceptions. Please clarify your suggestion.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Aladdin, Jungle Book, Lords of Dogtown, Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Monk Seasons.

Response: I am guessing you are asking for us to buy these titles in movie format rather than in book format. We have a great juvenile book collection and we do own some of these titles. And not sure what you mean by 'Monk Seasons' - are you asking for the TV show Monk? We generally do not buy television series, although we have made a few exceptions. I will pass these suggestions on to our Acquisitions staff.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Movie suggestions: Taken; What's the Worst that Can Happen; The Truman Show; The Experiment; Snow White and the Huntsman (2012).

Response: We did own all three DVDs, but they have been checked out and not returned and are considered lost. We will look into replacing them.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Could we get the second season of Sherlock (BBC)?

Response: We generally don't buy tv series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Put couches in the various wall insets on the first and second floors.

Response: I like the idea of more comfortable seating. We do not have money in the budget for new furniture this year, but I'll see if I can get a few couches into next year's budget. No promises, but we will do our best.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: "Stay open later!!!

Response: We do, of course, regularly get this suggestion. We moved our closing time from midnight to 1:00 am a couple of years ago in response to students asking for later hours. We do periodic building counts to see how many students are in the building at 1:00 am and there are not many. We realize that a very few people would use the library at any hour that we might be open. We have to balance what's best for our students with the cost effectiveness of keeping a building this size open and staffed in the middle of the night. We may get the funding to do that at some point, but we are not there at this time.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Please make clear the library's policy against obscene, pornographic, or lascivious materials.

Response: We have a clear Internet Use policy at http://stetson.edu/library/policies.php. It states: The duPont-Ball Library workstations are provided for educational and professional purposes only. Please be aware that the library does not use blocking or filtering software and that certain Internet sites can be accessed that may be inappropriate for minors. All users are expected to use our Internet connections in an appropriate manner, abiding by all applicable federal, state, and local laws and by the following which are subject to change: Stetson University Information Technology Policies Library Conduct Policy Stetson University Computing Codes of Conduct (Connections Handbook) which reads in part: Sexual harassment of any type will not be tolerated in the computer labs. Examples of sexual harassment may include, but are not limited to: sexual battery, displaying pornographic images, verbal harassment or abuse of a sexual nature, cyber-sex or chatroom sex, subtle pressure for sexual activity, etc.

If you see someone who you believe is engaging in inappropriate use of the computers in the library, please report it to the front desk. You do not have to identify yourself.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Please monitor people bringing in dogs, maybe only allow vested service dogs. Otherwise it is a cause of distraction or maybe discomfort.

Response: We are a pet-friendly campus with a residential 'pet dorm' so we allow well-behaved dogs in the library. If any dog is acting in an aggressive or disturbing manner, however, please report this to the front desk immediately.

Date: 2012-10

Full Suggestion: Maybe allow for a 'keep safe' area behind the Circulation Desk for valuables. You could use a check-in/out system.

Response: We really do not have the space behind the circulation desk to store valuables nor do we want to take on the liability for protecting personal property. This is a good opportunity to remind everyone not to leave valuables sitting unattended at tables or workstations. A little bit of common sense goes a long way as we consider the library a safe environment.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: GMAT books to prepare business students for grad school admission exams.

Response: We do have ebooks on the GMAT. Search the library's catalog for 'GMAT' in the TITLE and you'll find them. Once you pull up the record, click on URL to pull the book up. We find that trying to buy print books is not practical - it is hard to stay updated and only one student at a time can use a reference book in the library building.

We also have a free GMAT database in which you can set up an account and take practice tests at your pace. Click on DATABASES BY TITLE on the library's home page and then click on GMAT Practice Tests in the alphabetical list of databases. The GMAT database includes two prep books - 'GMAT: Master the GMAT' and 'Ultimate GMAT Tool Kit.' Also in the alpha list are GRE Practice Tests, LSAT Practice Tests, and MCAT Practice Tests. Happy studying.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: Can we get 'The Man From Earth' and 'The Waking Life' on DVD.

Response: I will pass these suggestions on to our Acquisitions folks. Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: You guys should add the movie 'What's the Worst that Can Happen.

Response: I will pass these suggestions on to our Acquisitions folks. Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: The Experiment. Brooklyn's Finest.

Response: I will pass these movie suggestions on to our Acquisitions folks. Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: You should stay open later.

Response: We do, of course, regularly get this suggestion. We moved our closing time from midnight to 1:00 am a couple of years ago in response to students asking for later hours. We do periodic building counts to see how many students are in the building at 1:00 am and there are not many. We realize that a very few people would use the library atany hour that we might be open. We have to balance what's best for our students with the cost effectiveness of keeping a building this size open and staffed in the middle of the night. We may get the funding to do that at some point, but we are not there at this time.

Date: 2012-09

Full Suggestion: Please order The Adventures of Munchausen, directed by Terry Gilliam, 1989, British comedy AND City of Lost Children, directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1995.

Response: I will pass these suggestions on to our Acquisitions folks. Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-08

Full Suggestion: Is there any way to get the Song of Fire and Ice books by George R.R. Martin. AKA The Game of Throne books? And maybe the DVDs?

Response: We have A Dance with Dragons (PS 3563 .A7239 D36 2011), but at the moment it is unreturned and missing. We will see about a replacement. There are four other books in the series, with another on the way. Given the popularity of the tv show, we can buy those. As for the DVDs, we generally do not buy television series because there are too many shows and episodes to collect.

Date: 2012-08

Full Suggestion: Request - Hunger Games Movie.

Response: Of course we will get Hunger Games - in fact, we already have. Find it at Feature Film 1837.

Date: 2012-08

Full Suggestion: Get new scanners.

Response: The two scanners available for public use are in working condition and our limited budget does not allow us to replace decent equipment. They will eventually be replaced, however, and we'll look to upgrade them then.

Date: 2012-06

Full Suggestion: 50 Shades of Grey, please.

Response: I've been wondering how long it would take to get this suggestion. Ok, we'll buy it because of the giant hype surrounding it. Here's an excerpt from one book review: 'Having no further background than the porno reference, I was stunned - shocked - at what waited in the pages before me. Not because of the explicit sex scenes, but rather the terribly underdeveloped protagonist, the unrealistic storyline - and above all else, the bitterly disappointing message this novel sends to all women about the value of love within a relationship.' Have to say I think that assessment is dead on, but, HEY, I just like when people read, so if you want to read this, more power to you. Watch the catalog for its arrival.

Date: 2012-06

Full Suggestion: SVU Seasons of Law and Order

Response: We generally don't buy tv series unless requested by a faculty member for a class. There are so many of them and they tend to take up a lot of space.

Date: 2012-05

Full Suggestion: Have dual monitors so students can have dual screens open and work betweeen.

Response: While I appreciate the value of dual monitors, we chose to go with the very popular large screen all-in-one workstations. Space and budget constraints would make it difficult to provide two monitors at every workstation.

Date: 2012-05

Full Suggestion: Please invest in classic Disney movies (Little Mermaid, Fox and Hound, Sleeping Beauty, Toy Story, etc.)

Response: We have limited funds for our popular DVD collection, but I'll pass your suggestions on to our Acquisitions folks. Thanks for the suggestions.

Date: 2012-05

Full Suggestion: Have a reading incentive like the fitness one at the gym.

Response: You won't get any arguments here about promoting reading. I imagine, though, that our students have more than enough assigned reading and wouldn't have a lot of time to participate in such a contest.

Date: 2012-05

Full Suggestion: Dividers in the recital CD drawers to mark the years.

Response: You are referring to the CDs housed behind the Circulation Desk. And, yes, we think this is a good idea. We'll do it! Thanks for the suggestion.

Date: 2012-05

Full Suggestion: Could the library please add the following academic, peer-reviewed, journals to the online journal list: Answers Research Journal, Journal of Creation, and ICR Technical Papers.

Response: Thanks for the suggestions. I am passing them on to our Associate Dean, Debbi Dinkins, who is in charge of acquisitions. We have a set of criteria for subscribing to journals: relevance to the curriculum, peer-review status, pricing, format, etc. which means these may or may not be good subscriptions for us.But we take such suggestions from our students seriously and we will look into the titles.
