It’s a Bentley Library tradition for Library Services staff to dedicate books in the name of their graduating seniors. This year, books have been dedicated on behalf of graduates Kimberly Waldbillig, Michelle Addo, Nazariy Fedak, Thimitrios Andoniades, and Andrew Watson. Each student has selected their own book, and they are now on display in the New Books area of the library.
Thanks goes out to all the student assistants for their hard work and commitment throughout the past year!
The staff of the Bentley Library thanks everyone who submitted their comments, suggestions, criticisms, and compliments during the most recent installment of the 14 Days to Have Your Say blog (March 16 – March 29, 2010).
During the time that the blog was open, the library staff only read/listened to the conversation, hoping to encourage a free and open discussion. Now that everyone has “had their say”, we’ll address those issues that arose most frequently (though be assured that we read closely every comment made!). To view our responses by category please visit the 14 Days to Have Your Say blog. Or, you may click here to view the full document.
We wouldn’t run 14 Days to Have Your Say if we weren’t committed to bettering our resources and services, and we want you to know that we are listening. In fact, here’s a quick list of changes that the Bentley Library made in response to the feedback we received from the last 14 Days blog, which ran from October 21 – November 3, 2008.
We’d like to remind you that you don’t have to wait for the next 14 Days to Have Your Say to voice your opinion or make a recommendation. Simply use the “Suggest a Purchase/Comments” link on the bottom of the library’s website and send us your feedback anytime.
The Bentley Library would like to thank everyone who took the time to visit the 14 Days to Have Your Say! blog. Between March 16 and March 29 we recorded 5,275 blog views and logged 103 posts and 70 comments.
You gave us much to consider, and over the next couple of weeks we will be reviewing what everyone had to say. Stay tuned….we promise to post our responses as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime, you can read what everyone had to say by visiting 14 Days to Have Your Say!

The Bentley Library is pleased to announce the launch of the 14 Days to Have Your Say! blog.

Don’t be shy, tell us what’s on your mind!
The 14 Days to Have Your Say! blog will be open Tuesday, March 16 – Monday, March 29, 2010. Do you have questions about this project? Please visit the About and FAQs pages, or contact the Reference Desk at refdesk@bentley.edu or 781-891-2300.
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that Reference Librarian Elizabeth Galoozis has been appearing on Jeopardy! since last Wednesday. Her winning streak came to an end in Monday night’s episode, leaving her with a grand total of $40,801 in winnings. Below, Liz gives us the inside scoop on her experience.
Many thanks to everyone at Bentley who watched me on Jeopardy. It was great to feel so supported by the Bentley community – and to receive all of your good wishes! A narrative of my experience as a contestant can be found later this week on the official Jeopardy website’s Winner’s Blog.
One question I got asked a lot after the first episode was: How did you know the answer to Final Jeopardy? (The question and answer are below.)
ANSWER: Surprisingly, this word appears only twice in the New Testament, once in Acts and once in the first epistle of Peter.
QUESTION: What is Christian?
As part of my cramming for the show, I read a book from our collection called A Non-Churchgoer’s Guide to the Bible, and that little piece of trivia happened to be right there in the book. I also made very helpful flash cards from The New York Public Library Desk Reference, which is shelved in our reference stacks. Thank you, Bentley Library!
Recaps of the questions and answers from all three of my Jeopardy episodes can be found at the website J! Archive.
Congratulations on your success, Liz!
On Friday night Reference Librarian Elizabeth Galoozis became a two-time Jeopardy champion! Will she make it a three-peat? We’ll just have to wait and see… Liz returns to the show as reigning Jeopardy champion on Monday for another shot at victory. Tune in to WBZ-TV Channel 4 on Monday, February 22 @ 7:30pm to watch Liz defend her title.
