Map Change

The Office of Sponsored Research was moved to Hannah Hall and  Public Affairs moved in where it used to be. Added this to the library map.

EDIT:
On Oct. 20 I found out that it's actually the "Office of Public Information." I've since changed it to that instead.

Hours, Credo Reference

Today,

· changed the hours back to normal

·  added Credo reference to the library pages. It's not ready for off-campus access yet, but when we do get it, it'll probably be through the LOUIS EZ Proxy

This link should work for off-campus access:
http://ezproxy.louislibraries.org:2048/login?url=http://www.credoreference.com
But I haven't test it yet. I'll do it at home later today.

· The trial period for "Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory & Criticism" is over, so I've removed it and replaced it with news about Credo Reference, which I posted to the blog

Fall Holiday Hours

Even though I'm at the LUC conference, I was able to change the hours to show that we're closed today and Sat. for Fall break using a SSH FTP program.

Also, last week I put a tutorial for Gerontology on the ulm.edu/reference space because there wasn't enough room on mine. It also uses the YouTube account.

MRI+, off campus issues

This week I added a new resource called MRI+, which the CBA pays for. I made an etry page for it because its log in instrucions are very specific:
http://www.ulm.edu/library/mri.html

Also, made a video about how EBSCOhost works not-so-well off-campus, and how to get around that, and embedded on the special EBSCO links page:
http://www.ulm.edu/library/ebsco-special.html

I've asked about merging the LOUIS and ULM EZ Proxies again. That's still going to happen eventually.

Retired Faculty and FAQs

a)
Since a new retired faculty card has been created, I re-did it's information on the site.
However, this card is actually not that new; it's very similar to what the retired faculty rights had been before. But apart from the FAQ, the existence of such a card wasn't mention on the site much. So, I've added it and re-done the list of non-student/employee cards that we have on these pages:

Visitor Information
For The Community
FAQs


b) FAQs page...

Removed old FAQ information about the hardware and software in the computer lab, and removed the question about the library being close on weekends.

Updated information about hold and recalls:
http://www.ulm.edu/library/FAQ.html#Can_I_get_a_book_that_is_already_checked

Since we don't need it anymore thanks to CH's changes in the catalog, I've removed this whole question from the FAQ page:

What are materials in the library catalog that say See Electronic Address?

See Electronic Address means that the specified item(s) is in electronic text. This could mean that it's a government document, an item in a database, or an e-book. Click on the “URL” in the record to link to the text of the item. Please ask the reference librarian for assistance if you have any trouble.
