Apart from that:<br />
<br />
○ CR found an error on the online students page, which I fixed<br />
○ A new version of LearningExpress Library will be <a href="http://ulmlibraryreference.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-learningexpress-library.html">Coming June 30th. </a> I've added that to the news box, and asked EZproxy to put the new URL on our server. I'm under the impression that after June 30th, the 'old' or 'current' URL will automatically be switched over.Will this interrput user accounts? It looks like it will. The website wants people to register using the new site, not the old/current one, and my login for the old site doesn't work.<br />
○ <a href="https://ulm.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.clinicalkey.com/">ClinicalKey</a> needed EZproxy changes too, which have been made
<br />
○ I now have an actual mobile device, so I can finally investigate our webpages and databases from a mobile perspective.<br />
<br />
Also, we might need to think about what we're doing with Moodle. This has been something we've known about for a while, but haven't really needed. The idea could be revisited.Karen N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08805041203901198066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627872287724570510.post-88458545481105148742014-04-13T17:23:00.004-07:002014-04-13T17:23:49.995-07:00Hours, YouTube, etc<ul>

<ul>
<li>More hours adjustments for the new semester and labor day </li>
<li>Some of the database which have branding logos have been changed over to the new logo. I've contacted publishers for help, and some have already responded. EDS will be more complex since that requires EBSCOAdmin access.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/googlescholar.html">Google Scholar</a> instructions added to the website. It appears to be working well enough, but our library links don't appear in GS automatically on campus by IP address. Oh well.</li>
<li>Added new updated YouTube videos for <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/interlibraryloan.html">Interlibrary Loan</a> and <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/offcampus.html">Off-Campus Access</a>. More could be made</li>
<li>made small edits to our to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheULMLibrary">YouTube</a> page so that it has at least some background. Can be changed.</li>
<li>A web page for the upcoming reference workshops will be made when needed </li>

<ul>
<li>It is not possible to get editing website for all librarians. I will do the editing for us, but it may be possible for us to have one more OmniUpdate user if needed</li>
<li>A new ULM logo was unveiled on Aug. 12th. I now have a set of the new logos, and I'll begin replacing the old ones on our site and databases soon</li>
<li>Hours adjusted for intersesssion / summer</li>
<li>New hours added to schedule online</li>
<li>All library item links residing on ~name domains have been removed, which includes tutorial files, subject guides, etc. If you want yours added, email it to me and I'll add it to the site.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/guides.html">Guides and Tutorials</a> has been re-done, so only items you-all have asked me to post are up there. I've added links to our YouTube Channel videos also. </li>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/hours.html">Hours</a> updated to say we'll be opening at 7am on July 2nd. </li>
<li>New <a href="http://louis.hosts.atlas-sys.com/illiad/lne/logon.html">ILLIAD</a> page look-- it has a banner simialr to what we have now, and I changed the font to match the new site</li>
<li>-- through LOUIS I've found out how to edit the ILLIAD page's appearance. If we need to change it again, it can be done.</li>
<li>Note: According to the computing center, even though the captial letter ULM logo is on the website, the ULM circle logo like we had before is the offical ULM logo. So that's what I plan to put on most of the databases that allow graphic customizations. Although some of them already have the capital ULM logo for consistency</li>
<li><a href="http://ulmlibraryreference.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ULM.Library">Facebook</a> banners updated with capital ULM logo</li>
<li><a href="https://ulm.idm.oclc.org/login">Off campus access page updated</a> to match new site </li>
<li>Will the other deference librarians get website access? That is still unknown but the outlook is not good.</li>
</ul>
Coming soon:<br /><br />More work on Google Scholar. It doesn't work properly off-campus yet, but on campus it does work... but only if you tell Google to do that. It doesn't recognize ULM's IP address automatically, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to. I've asked EBSCO support about this (EBSCO LinkSource is what makes GS work and we had to ask EBSCO to set it up for us), but I haven't heard back yet. If there's no good news by next week, I may reveal GA to the public anyway, since patrons have been asking for it for a long time.<br />

<b>New website</b></h3>
This past month the new website has been built,with many new pages and changes. The developing site is here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/</a><br />
<br />
The home page is of course the most important page, and currently is pending approval. There have been many versions.<br />
<br />
The latest is:<br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3c.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3c.html</a><br />
<br />
Some previous versions include: <br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3a.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3a.html</a><br /><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3c-2.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/hometest-3c-2.html</a><br />

<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2.html">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2.html </a><br />
<h3>
<b>Library Reference Materials</b></h3>
The new site's <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/guides.html">Guides and Tutorials</a> page is using the old ulm.edu/~person pages since we don't know yet how we're going to get user privileges on the site for the other librarians. Most of the old tutorials from the current page have been removed for evaluation and may of them will need to be updated before they return to the new site.<br />
<h3>
<b>Other current web site changes:</b></h3>
<ul>
<li>hours</li>
<li>new <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/hours-temp.html">HTML hours page</a> (like on new site) </li>
<li>news post about upcoming new site</li>

<b>Meeting on April 29th, 2013, 10am<br />In attendance: KN, CH, ML, LJ, CR</b><br />
<br />
Due to lateness of KN, a fire alarm evacuation, and computer equipment failure, the meeting was loose and relatively brief.<br />
<ul>
<li>KN explained what working with OU is like and showed some page examples </li>
<li>The amount of access ref. librarians will get on the new site is still unknown, KN says</li>
<li>The future use of EDS and the catalog was discussed</li>
<li>ML said she would start a ref. dept. meeting to discuss the ref. dept. pages and content (she did)</li>
<li>Other ideas for re-doing content on the new site were discussed</li>
<li>Deadline set as June 1 <i>[not true anymore-- it will be much sooner after the semester ends --KN] </i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>2)</b><br />
KN has been working on various pages for the new site. Here is the developing site (only works on campus):<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/</a><br />
<br />
And some extra home pages:<br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2c.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2c.html</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2.html" target="_blank">http://www.ulm.edu/library_dev/home-bgtest-2.html</a> <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3)</b><br />
the <a href="https://ulm.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://portal.acm.org/portal.cfm">ACM Digital Library</a> has been tested and it works off-campus. It's status and name (formerly just "ACM") has been changed on the site. News of this has been placed on the blog.<br />
Now all of the DBs we have which are supposed to work off campus do work off campus!<br />
<br />
<b>4)</b><br />
The new site will probably go live after the end of the semester. The plan is for KN to set up the main pages to work, and the ref. dept. can prepare its instructional content next.<br />
Still no certain word from the CC on how/if ref. librarians will be allowed access to the new site. KN plans to no longer use ulm.edu/~name directories or the ulm.edu/~govdoc directoryKaren N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08805041203901198066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627872287724570510.post-34359250461282054332013-04-10T12:22:00.000-07:002013-04-10T12:22:19.880-07:00Changes for new EZproxy, hours, etcSince the last update...<br />

At 11am today KN was in a conference call about EZproxy with an OCLC rep., JG and LS from LOUIS, and CE. It was almost 40 min.
long.<br />
<br />
OCLC and LOUIS talked for a long time about getting the files that make
LOUIS and ULM's proxy work together. We will be able to start testing the
server this week, and KN has been given a test server to look at. KN will need to get in contact with JG and do the testing with him because he has to change something on the
LOUIS server to test the new OCLC one.<br /><br />Once all the testing is
done and we're ready to move everything over to the new server, KN will
need to change the URL prefix on the library web pages, and CH will
need to change those in EBSCO AtoZ as well.<br />
<br />
All vendors must be informed of the new external IP Address for the new OCLC EZproxy server. LS from LOUIS says she will inform the vendors LOUIS deals with. KN has informed the non-LOUIS vendors which use EZproxy (there are a few that use other authentication) about the changes, including EBSCO.<br />
<br />
<b>2)</b><br />
KN was at the 2013 COSUGI conference, thanks to LOUIS. Some LOUIS personnel and other LA librarians were also there (including KC, who used to be in the ULMLWPC).<br />
<br />
The big news about SirsiDynix is that they have come out with a new "BlueCloud" catalog, to be available this summer, they say. There was very little talk about e-Library at the conference, because it is no longer SirsiDynix's true focus, even though they continue to support it. This explains why e-Library has been so clunky over the recent years.<br />
<br />
This means that along with the new website we're making, we and other LA libraries need to accept that it's the end of the road for e-Library, and a new catalog solution must be chosen, whether that's EDS, BlueCloud, Enterprise, or whatever. SirsiDynix says BlueCloud is "free" with "your maintenance," but it's unclear even to LOUIS what "free" really means.<br />
Part of this decision will be made by LALINC and LOUIS. But a decision must be made. We cannot use e-Library forever.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b><br />
Added CR's New Special Collections newsletter, <a href="http://ulmlibraryreference.blogspot.com/2013/03/new-special-collections-newsletter.html">Fall '12 & Spring '13</a>, to the archives page, and announced it on our news blog and home page. <br />
<br />
<b>4)</b><br />
Thanks to MW and CH, some old names and URLs to EBSCO component databases were updated last week. Most of those are the HW Wilson titles that got bought and
absorbed by EBSCO. They now have their own direct links and have been added to the DB lists, <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/subject/ART.html" target="_blank">ART</a> subject page, and <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/subject/HISTORY.html" target="_blank">HISTORY</a> page.<br />

<b>EZproxy update:</b>
<br />
Had phone conference with the OCLC EZproxy team, CE at the CC, and Lisa
& John at LOUIS to talk about implementing new EZproxy instance. It
seems very feasible. OCLC asked me to contact EBSCO to ask if the new
EZproxy server will work for them. EBSCO believes it will solve our
problems and work even with LOUIS in the picture. I sent an email to the
OCLC EZproxy team reporting this and said that we're ready to proceed.
Haven't heard back yet.

<b>ULMLWPC Meeting minutes</b><br />
<br />
In attendance:<br />
ML, CH, MW, CR, KN<br />
<ul>
<li>Given
that there is not enough time between now and Jan 14, when classes
begin, the group decided to wait until just after the Spring 2013
semester ends to roll out the new library website</li>
<ul>
<li>Also a problem, on this very day KN was given OmniUpdate access (the new ULM.edu platform), giving little time to learn it </li>
</ul>
<li>KN mentioned the possibility of having a hybrid of the old and new site, with the new ULM banner site appearing at the top</li>
<li>Some
time was spent discussing what the new EZproxy service will be like and how it could be implemented on
the site. (not long before the library received a grant to upgrade EZproxy) for It was not known at that time how quickly the new EZproxy
account could be set up.</li>
<li>KN said she had been able to produce a
working EBSCO Discovery Service search box, which could be deployed now
if we wished, except that the EZproxy troubles complicate this</li>
<li>Some
times was spent talking about EDS itself, and how useful it would be
for the library versus its subscription cost. In order for it to be
worth its price, an EDS search will likely need to fit into the library home page.</li>
<li>KN
said The fate of the ulm.edu/~personname domains and the possibility
getting all librarians some form of site access is still unknown, though
she has made its critical importance clear to RG at the CC. There is a
possibility that the reference librarian pages could be made to look
like the main website, but KN pointed out that she has no way of
enforcing the design template on those areas as on the rest of the site.
Having OmniUpdate Access for all librarians, even on one reference account, would be best.</li>
<li>The group looked at some demonstration designs KN made from the existing new ULM site template</li>
<li>Simplification and consolidation of links and pages will likely be necessary </li>
<li>More specifics of the redesign will be discussed at a later date</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>Latest Website Changes:</b>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The order with OCLC to get the EZproxy service has been
completed, but they say it could take up to 4 weeks to implement. KN,
CR, and CE from the CC had a telephone meeting with OCLC's EZproxy team.
They need more information about LOUIS and how its resources are
authenticated. Another meeting with LOUIS in attendance may be
necessary.</li>
<li>The hours on the home page were again changed to show
the holiday hours, then later to Wintersession, and now the Spring
Schedule</li>
<li>the hours.pdf full schedule was changed to the Spring schedule, with the spring graphic on the page</li>
<li>During the weather closings and MLK Holiday, the hours were again changed</li>
<li>news of a PrivCo database trial added to news box, blog, and facebook</li>
<li>news
of the library being open during the weather closures and a JSTOR
maintenance period were added to news box and blog, then removed</li>
<li>An ERIC documents problem has been added to news box, blog, , and facebook</li>

<ul>
<li> During the Thanksgiving break, the hours were changed for the holiday and then back to normal. The <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/library/hours.pdf">Fall Schedule </a>has been changed also to show that we will be closed and not open on Friday the 21st after all.</li>
<li>The outlook for the library's STAP grant proposal to upgrade EZproxy is looking good, but it's not over yet. Grants will not be decided upon until Dec. 7th.</li>
<li>If we get the grant, it will be possible to use EBSCO Discovery Service more often because then it'll work off campus. How we decide to integrate it into the site will change how the site is used.</li>
<li>OmniUpdate is getting closer, and has been deployed on the home page and other pages like <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/reslife/">Residential Life</a>. Because the library's website is more complicated that others, it and
other like it haven't been changed over yet, and I haven't been given an
OmniUpdate account yet. I have been thinking about how the library website will be set up, including making a few demo pages based on the new site template.</li>
<ul>
<li>Here is a very basic one:</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/new-site-2012-2013/test1.htm">http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/new-site-2012-2013/test1.htm </a></li>
<li>And a plain HTML page with a working EDS search box:</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/new-site-2012-2013/hhhh.htm">http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/new-site-2012-2013/hhhh.htm</a></li>
</ul>
<li>Unless there any any objections, a ULMLWPC meeting will be held on <b>Mon., Jan. 14 at 10 am</b> to discuss the upcoming re-design. Location TBA.</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqhfAWy4HDEggKCoRi0AJOw5Z7eSzq4mplvPeuZ2mcSaow9daqtYZXQ_H2mDQ_8QgEE2zW_ipMWIY4Hc3EM4amDTIrx6zJyGxv4-m-krRe-tMkaJ22J29QwUUSVm72Vg9f70aM1Ox2fuH/s1600/nobrand1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<ul>
<li>This week I submitted a STAP grant proposal asking for the EZproxy to be fixed. CR and I met with CE at the Computing Center, and we concluded that the best route to go was <a href="http://www.oclc.org/ezproxy/hosted/default.htm">OCLC's EZproxy hosted service</a>, since the CC doesn't have the time and personnel free to administer a new server. It was also recommended to us by SZ at LOUIS. If the grant is approved, this will become a recurring cost, which ULM will pay for every year.</li>
<li><a href="http://ezproxy.ulm.edu:2048/login?url=http://ctiv.alexanderstreet.com" target="_blank">Counseling and Therapy in Video</a>
now works off-campus as of
yesterday. I've fixed the URL, posted news about Counseling and Therapy in Video remote access to our blog, Facebook, and home page. It will also be added to the databases by subject page. Hopefully the grant proposal will be accepted so it won't take so long anymore.</li>
<li>The new OmniUpdate ULM website has been released on the <a href="http://www.ulm.edu/">ULM Home</a> page, but not the rest of the ULM site. RG has said via email that he'll give depts. access to the system fairly soon so we can see it and make design plans. The project was delayed a bit.</li>
<li>So, the ULMLWPC will need to have a proper meeting at some point to decide which pages stay and which must go. But I don't know when just yet.</li>
<li>For a while, our EBSCOhost hasn't been showing ULM logos. It didn't look broken, so I didn't know anything was wrong, but someone at LOUIS has informed me that it's not supposed to be that way.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqhfAWy4HDEggKCoRi0AJOw5Z7eSzq4mplvPeuZ2mcSaow9daqtYZXQ_H2mDQ_8QgEE2zW_ipMWIY4Hc3EM4amDTIrx6zJyGxv4-m-krRe-tMkaJ22J29QwUUSVm72Vg9f70aM1Ox2fuH/s1600/nobrand1.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="128" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqhfAWy4HDEggKCoRi0AJOw5Z7eSzq4mplvPeuZ2mcSaow9daqtYZXQ_H2mDQ_8QgEE2zW_ipMWIY4Hc3EM4amDTIrx6zJyGxv4-m-krRe-tMkaJ22J29QwUUSVm72Vg9f70aM1Ox2fuH/s320/nobrand1.gif" width="320" /></a> I've made some new ones which I might upload if I find a way to do so. <br /><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/%7Eniemla/ulm-logo-120x120.png" target="_blank">120x120px</a><br /><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/%7Eniemla/ulm-logo-82x82.png" target="_blank">82x82px</a><br /><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/%7Eniemla/ulm+louis_180x70.png" target="_blank">180x70px</a><br /><a href="http://www.ulm.edu/%7Eniemla/louis-test-200x60.png" target="_blank">louis-test-200x60</a></span></span></li>
<li>I'll also make some logo images for our version of EDS, which also doesn't have any. I've also offered to make more for other LOUIS member institutions. </li>
<li>I've looked into getting Google Scholar for the library, which is free, but as ever, it would likely work better with a proper EZproxy.</li>
