Every Tuesday, we'll answer ques- tionsfrom students about the Univer- sity. Topics will range from academic policies, campus life and anything in between. To submit a question you want answered, e-mail questions@ umich.edu. Q: There are many libraries across campus, but what are some of the specific resources offered by libraries that can be most help- fulfor students? With more than 20 different libraries in 12 campus buildings, stu- dents may be overwhelmed by the vastness of University resources and may not know where to start. And while many students study in at least one University library, especially during midterms and finals, students leave many resources untapped. Many University tools allow stu- dents to fulfill their library needs online without stepping out their door. MLibrary, the University Library's online resource, gives stu- dents the option to complete their research online - eliminating the task of searching through library catalogues and archives in person. MLibrary also allows students to access a plethora of online jour- nals free of charge. In November, the website was updated and now combines the browsing and search- ing features of the site into a single interface. Additionally, delivery services for hard copies of books are available for students - allowing them to pick up the materials at the checkout coun- ters at the libraries instead of search- ing through the stacks. Another service is Mirlyn Get This, which provides a delivery ser- vice from one library on campus to another at a library pickup location of the student's choice. If a student encounters difficulty finding the necessary materials from an on-campus library, the Univer- sity also uses an Interlibrary Loan system, which allows the libraries to borrow materials from a library at another university or institution. But the libraries on campus aren't purely for academic needs. Students can also go to some libraries for entertainment purposes like play- ing computer and video games. The Shapiro Undergraduate Library is also home to Askwith Media Library, where students can rent movies and television shows free of cost. In the basement of the Duderstadt Library on North Campus, there is also a Computer and Video Game Archive, which offers a selection of games ranging from 1970s classics to new releases. -RACHEL BRUSSTAR School of Music freshman Ji Kim and LSA freshman Sarah Garvey browse through posters in the Union. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com STEPHANIE STEINBERG BRAD WILEY Editor in Chief easiness Manager 734-418-411s eat. 1201 734-418-4115 eat. 1241 steinberg@michigandaily.com tmdbusiness@gmailcom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Office hours: sun.-Thur.11 a.m.-2a.m. 734-418-4115 er,.3 News Tips news@michigandaily.com Cotrrectionscrections@michigandaify.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Photography Department photo@michigandaily.com Arts Section artspage@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaiy.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classifed@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com EDITORIAL STAFF Kyle Swanson Managing Editor ' swanson@michigandaily.com Nicole Aber ManangNesEditor, y aber@ichigandaily.com SNRs oNEWS EIRos sS:Btanair,, Dln Cini,Caln stonu, seph Lichterman, DevonThorsby SSISTnAN EWSnEDITnnSnahlB ,ClaiueGoscicki,SuzanneJacbs,Mine MrarMiheNaro, Bnuune r, Kahinlims .

One positive development is that small businesses are starting to add more workers after lagging behind their larger counterparts. The National Federation of Inde- pendent Business said Thursday that its measure of the small busi- ness hiring outlook rose to its high- est level in more than two years in December. Meanwhile, applications for unemployment benefits rose last week to a seasonally adjusted 409,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Still, that's not much higher than the 391,000 level reached in the previous week - the lowest in more than two years - and week to week figures tend to fluctuate more during the holidays. A more reliable measure is the four-week average for applications. That fell last week to 410,750, the lowest level in nearly two and a half years and the eighth decline in nine weeks. Fewer than 425,000 people applying for benefits signals mod- est job growth. And applications are far below their peak during the recession of 651,000, reached in March 2009. Government-backed candidate to be removed from ballot PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - An international team of elec- tion experts will recommend that Haiti's government-backed candi- date be eliminated from a presi- dential runoff ballot due to strong evidence of fraud in voting that led to riots, according to a draft of the report obtained yesterday by The Associated Press. The report by the organization of American States team has not been released publicly but officials confirmed its conclusions. It was to be presented to President Rene Preval later yesterday, foreign and Haitian sources confirmed. The report's most important conclusions are that the disputed Nov. 28 vote should neither be thrown out entirely nor recount- ed, and that enough fraudulent or improper ballots should be invali- dated to drop governing-party candidate Jude Celestin into third place and out of the second-round runoff. That would favor carnival sing- er Michel "Sweet Micky" Mar-. telly, a populist candidate who was in third place and out of run- off contention when results were announced last month. Former first lady and law professor Mir- lande Manigat would remain in first place. All the top candidates would lose thousands of votes under the team's recommenda- tions. Haitian electoral officials must make the final decision on what to do, but the OAS recommendations could weigh heavily. The three top candidates all believe they should advance to a second-round vote if not declared the winner outright. Rioting broke out in several cit- ies when the preliminary results were announced, with Martelly's supporters blocking streets and demanding their candidate be immediately named president. The U.S. Embassy expressed doubt over the results at the time, saying they did not match observ- ers' polling estimates that showed Celestin in line to be eliminated. The OAS report matches that expectation. "After a thorough statistical analysis ... the Expert Mission has determined that it cannot support the preliminary results ofthe pres- idential elections released on Dec. 7,2010," the report said. "Should this recommendation be implemented, the position of the candidate in third place (Mar- telly) would change to second and the candidate now in second place (Celestin) would move to third," it stated. The AP obtained a copy of the report, and a foreign official with direct knowledge of the report confirmed its conclusions. A sec- ond foreign official said that the report had been completed and translated into French and that the conclusion in the draft would stand. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the report had not been made public and was not supposed to be discussed until it was reviewed by Preval. Some critics of the election say the entire vote should be thrown out because of rampant disorgani- zation, fraud and instances of vio- lence and voter intimidation. Twelve of the 19 candidates, including Manigat and Martelly, joined together while polls were still open to demand the vote be tossed out. The front-runners changed tune a day later after U.N. and other officials informed them they were expected to advance to a runoff. The Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank, said the vote should be invalidated because errors and fraud were too wide- spread and the party of ousted former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who is still popular in Haiti, was not allowed to partici- pate. "The OAS has abandoned any professional standards by certi- fying an election where nearly three-quarters of registered voters did not vote because the country's most popular political party was banned," said economist Mark Weisbrot. "Given the massive irregularities in that first round, it is not even possible to determine who the top two finishers were." Celestin's campaign chief, Sen. Joseph Lambert, said the cam- paign would not commentbecause it did not have a copy of the report. The Martelly campaign also declined comment, and a Manigat spokesman did not return calls. Preval was not expected to respond publicly until after Wednesday's one-year anniver- sary of the earthquake that dev- astated Port-au-Prince. An aide declined comment. The second round was origi- nally scheduled for Jan. 16 but was delayed in part because elec- toral officials were waiting for the results of the OAS review. Officials have said the earliest it can be held is next month. The experts found that tens of thousands more votes than previ- ously thought should be discarded because polling-place officials did not follow procedures or because of signs that tally sheets were altered. According to the review, Mar- telly would end up in second place with 22.2 percent after having 7,150 votes ruled invalid. Celestin would drop to third place with 21.9 percent after losing 17,220 votes. Manigat would remain in first place with 31.6 percent after hav- ing 13,830 of her votes thrown out. The team included electoral, technical and statistical experts from the United States, France, Canada, Jamaica and the OAS. It reviewed a sample representing roughly 16.9 percent of the votes cast, along with ballot boxes and bags, user access logs and other material. The team said it decided not to recommend holding a new vote because "a new election would involve more contests and can- didacies than the evidence war- ranted." A new election also would be a burdensome expense for the impoverished country, "subject the Haitian people to a further lapse in constitutional governance," it added. The team also decided against recommending a partial do-over in "certain problematic locations" or a nationwide recount. Preval's term is scheduled to end Feb. 7, but he could remain in power until May because he was inaugurated late in 2006.
