Dear Staff,
I love the library. I especially love D level. However, recently in the past few months, an annoying person coughs every 5 minutes, from about 6PM to 1AM every single day. I move desks, however his coughs are so loud, they become annoying and a nuisance. I did approach this person to take a drink or limit his coughs, but he just won’t listen! I think he’s sick! How can I make him disappear? I don’t want to become sick like him : (

Dear Annoyed,
Thank you for doing a very hard thing: talking to someone you don’t know about something that bothers you. At this point, you’ve done all you can since he has just as much right to be on D level as you do. Since the coughing is annoying and you don’t want to chance getting sick right before Thanksgiving break, you have to find another place to study.
I know it feels like getting booted out of your own living room, but you have to find an environment conducive to studying. There are other floors and quiet spots in the library, give them a try!

It would be helpful if you could search by multiple fields. For example, if I know the author of the book is Jones and the subject is the Middle East, I could spend years trying to find this book. But being able to search those two things together would make my search only seconds long.

Dear Catalog Comment,
You actually sent this question using the email form in our catalog, but you didn’t leave an email address, so I’m responding here.
You can search in more than one field. Just click the small More Catalog Search Options link below the catalog search box and you’ll be taken to a screen that lets you do the kind of searching you describe.
Good luck with your research!

I just graduated from Hopkins, and I’m working over the summer in a research lab at another large University’s Medical Center. You’d be surprised how many electronic resources this school doesn’t have access to (or has recently canceled subscriptions to) that I can get through Hopkins. I’m dreading the day my JHED access to library resources gets shut down. Thanks for doing a great job in maintaining electronic resources even in these tough economic times
