We know there’s still snow on the ground, but we’ve seen a sure sign of spring! Yes, the loaner bikes are back at the Davis Family Library. You can find the purple beauties locked to the bike rack at the front entrance.
Check out a key at the circulation desk. You’ll need a sticker for your ID. Fill this out to get it: Loaner Bike Form.
For anyone who remembers that we ever had free Washington Post access, I’m writing to let you know that we no longer do. A bunch of years ago, it was possible to register with a .edu address to get 25 free articles per month. Arabella found this page which indicates that the opportunity is still available for .gov and .mil, but not .edu (https://helpcenter.washingtonpost.com/hc/en-us/articles/115007248227-Start-a-free-subscription-with-a-valid-gov-or-mil-email-address).
The lib/its blog post that publicized this access has been deleted.
More for Febs and all students! The books and DVDs we brought to the Student Services Fair last week are ready for check-out. Find them near the Research Desk on the Main Level of the Davis Family Library. Take a pencil while you’re there!

MIDCAT, our library catalog, has a new URL! All links on the library website have been updated, but your links probably need some attention. If you bookmarked MIDCAT, or if you included links to MIDCAT in your syllabus or course web page, you’ll need to revise the URL.
The new URL is:
http://mbury.iii.com/
Fortunately, revisions will be pretty straightforward: Wherever you have the old URL, just replace it with the new one (see below). This includes links to books and to searches (both of which have some characters after the “biblio.middlebury.edu”).
For example:
Thing to know: The old URL seems to work now, but it won’t last forever.

Follow the signs to the Graphic Novels
Can you hear that? The graphic novels are calling out to you this month! New signs in the Davis Family Library lead you right to this collection of more than 450 illustrated works of fiction and non-fiction.
Come and visit the Graphic Novels Collection, just after the movies on the main level of the Davis Family Library. You’ll see Alison Bechdel’s memoir Fun Home, Neil Gaman’s fantasy Sandman, Eleanor Davis’ quirky collection of short stories How to be Happy, and more. We’re sure you’ll wander out with a few.
