Construction Updates: Mahaffey Business Library Services and Resources

Dear Colleagues,

We hope the summer is treating you well and you are surviving the hot weather!

As the Mahaffey Business Library prepares to relocate within the College, we're looking forward to this new chapter in our partnership with Mendoza. We want to keep you well-informed every step of the way, and we remain dedicated to providing you with the continuous support and seamless services you rely on during this transition. Following is more information about our upcoming move.

Construction Timeline

Through July 17 (pre-construction)
All Mahaffey Business Library services in L001 will remain the same through July 17.

July 18 – August 8 (relocation)
Most computers and equipment will be removed from the current library space (L001); many will be relocated to L064 (including with Bloomberg access) and the corridor outside of L064. Please note: Until the new Trading Room is open in Mendoza 123, the only access to Bloomberg terminals will still be in the Mahaffey Business Library. During this transitional time, the business librarians and core services, including Bloomberg access, will still be available.

August 13 (open in new space!)
We plan to be fully transitioned and open in the new space by Wednesday, August 13. Please note that this timeline may be subject to change.

Services and Resources
Following our space relocation, the Mahaffey Business Library team will be ready to serve you with enhanced expertise, services and resources to support and elevate your teaching and research goals. Here are more details: 

  • Business Library faculty and staff will be located in L012 (Pete’s current office).
  • Specialized research support will be available through onsite consultations and via email. Connect with us via Ask a Business Librarian or email askbuslib@nd.edu.
  • Class instruction sessions will be available upon request.
  • Access to print collections will remain available through Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan, including paging for in-person pickup/delivery and scanning for electronic delivery.
  • Access to Course Reserves will remain unchanged for the fall.
  • Industry-leading business databases, journals, and other electronic resources will continue without interruption.
  • Several Bloomberg terminals will be accessible in L064 and in the new Trading Room.
  • A small area for print reserves will be located in L066.
  • The Business Library will remain a pick-up/drop-off location for Hesburgh Libraries' materials.

Contact a Business Librarian

  • A Business Librarian will be available in L012 Mendoza, from 9 a.m.–6 p.m., Monday through Friday. We are also available for Zoom meetings.
  • Use our Ask a Business Librarian service available on the Business Library webpage.
  • Visit the front desk, which will be located in the corridor outside of L064, during business hours.

Since the Mahaffey Business Library opened 30 years ago, we have engaged with students, faculty and visiting scholars at the point of need, in-person and online, to educate and connect them with specialized library services and resources critical to their teaching, research and educational goals. We're pleased to continue our tradition of providing excellent research support and business library services. Please don't hesitate to reach out! We're here to help and welcome the opportunity to connect with you anytime.

Sincerely,

Pete Pietraszewski (bpietras@nd.edu)

Window Snapping

In Windows, you can drag a window to the left or right edge of your screen to make it fill one half of the screen, or drag to the top of the screen to maximize the window. View two windows side by side quickly and easily. You can also press the Windows key + left or right arrow to make the active window fill the left or right side of the screen.

Minimize All Windows

Sometimes you have a bunch of applications running, and you want it all to go away so you can get to the desktop. Simply pressing Windows key + D will minimize everything you have up, which will save you some time pressing the minimize button for each window. To bring everything back, press the Windows key + D again to restore your windows.
