Ford Library

Ford Library invites the Fuqua community to participate in the Fuqua Book Exchange from April 13th through May 15th. Donate your gently used books to other students, staff, faculty, or to the library. Give a book, take a book. All subjects are welcome. Free!

Drop off your book donations at the Ford Library circulation desk. Books for exchange are located in a “Fuqua Book Exchange” shelf at the back of the Ford Library. Just follow the arrows. We will donate any books unclaimed after the exchange to Better World Books or to Book Harvest (children’s and young adult books).

Are you graduating or just heading out soon for the summer and worried about paying library fines? Monday, April 16th through Friday, May 11th, the Ford Library will waive one overdue library fine* for each “shelfie” you post to social media with the hashtag #fordlibraryshelfie, up to five fine waives total.

It’s easy!

1. Snap a “shelfie,” a book-related photo. It could be of a favorite book or place to read, a “book face,” or a photo featuring the Ford Library and/or its collections.

2. Post the photo to your Instagram or Twitter account, or to our Facebook page, with the hashtag #fordlibraryshelfie.

3. Send us an email to let us know you have posted it.

Please note: Your social media profile must be set to public during the promotion so that we can see your photo and we have to approve posts to our Facebook page before they will appear.

Questions? Email: ford-library-circulation@fuqua.duke.edu

Rules:
1. All current Duke University students are eligible to participate.

5. *Waives will not apply to items that have not yet been returned, for fines that were incurred at other Duke University Libraries, or for recall fines (where another patron was waiting for the overdue item). This promotion is in addition to our existing one-time waive policy.

Ford Library will be open for our normal Semester / Term Hours on Labor Day, Monday, September 4th.

All Library services and resources as provided by our circulation desk attendants will be available except for research assistance.

Our professional staff, and expert reference librarians will return on Tuesday, September 5th to help guide you toward success in your MBA.

Good Luck in Fall Term 1!

The Ford Library will be closed Sunday, July 2nd – Tuesday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.

Summer hours will resume on Wednesday, July 5th.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!

Congratulations on finishing your first year at Fuqua! This post will fill in our rising Second Years on how to correctly use the online resources available to you during summer break.

The key point to consider when using library databases is to avoid the transfer of entire reports, articles, or data content from academically licensed databases to your summer employer. Transferring database content to a summer employer breaches our license with the vendor; and could cost the breaching user, and all of Duke, their access to the database.

Using databases to prepare for your internship without the transfer of content may be permissible. Please review the examples of appropriate and inappropriate use described on our web site; and email us if you have any questions.
