Hours for finals

Last week I changed the hours to show that we'd be open today (Sunday) and I've adjusted the home page hours to show the upcoming finals hours, and made a blog post about it, showing all the finals hours: http://ulmlibraryreference.blogspot.com/2011/05/extended-hours-for-finals.html
And the hours PDF sheet: http://www.ulm.edu/library/hours.pdf

I'll add more of those hours to the home page as space becomes available.

Hours, EX Proxy, LOUIS...

This week, I put up intercept pages for the databases to increase awareness about LOUIS. These pages do not interfere with database use.

Work is also continuing on a custom interface for EZProxy, which might mean moving all proxied sites to the ULM server. This might need new hardware later on.
At this time, the ULM server does not appear to be working; cause is unknown.

Also, I have changed the home page hours to show the Easter weekend hours (called "spring holiday")

No more GPO survey

I've heard that the GPO survey is over with. So I've removed the icon from the page and went back to the old version of the home page (I had to alter it slightly to fit the icon in there).

Since the survey isn't in the "news" anymore, I needed to put something in there, and put in a link to our YouTube channel. Do let me know if that's a problem.

We ought to have news about LOUIS there sometime. I'll ask about that and how to do it before I try that.

new pictures, hours, and IE 6

a)
The new home page pictures have been added to the website.


b)
The library's hours have been reset to normal.


c)
Also, someone made a website counting down the days to Internet Explorer 6's official death date! Its goal is to end IE 6 usage worldwide.

Take that, Microsoft! ... Wait, Microsoft made this page? O_o

Mardi Gras + pictures

I've put the hours for Mardi Gras break on the home page.

Also, here some some possible candidates for new home page pictures:

myULM, Home page, mobile apps

a)
A link to the Library is now on the Students' myULM page, and I've mentioned this on the home page because we haven't had much new news to report in a while.

b)
We might be able to get access to Gale's mobile reference apps, and I'll post them on the website as soon as we can confirm that it actually works. ML is the only person I know of with mobile access at this time.

If anyone else wants to try it (for Apple and Android) here is the main page link, which has a barcode you can scan, if yours does that:

c)
Tomorrow I plan to borrow special collections' camera, which CR has kindly lent out, and take some hopefully better pictures for the home page.

New off-campus page

The off-campus access page has been re-done to include a video, and I did some tidying:
