Updates

Just a few things I want to call to your attention

1. There are no locks on the printers anymore, so therefore we do not need keys. Please just keep an eye on the printers during this transition, let us know if there is any suspicious behavior.

2. You will notice that the televisions have moved from Giere to the study alcove above Giere. Go check out where they are and where they were, I think it's an improvement.

3. There are three sets of cassette tapes on reserve for Intermediate Japanese III, you will see them on the reserve shelf with the call number F1384 tape1-3. DO NOT DESENSITIZE THESE ITEMS! Also, we have two cassette players and headphones on reserve for patrons to check out with these cassettes. NONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE TO LEAVE THE BUILDING! There is a third cassette player upstairs with the tvs, people do not have to check this one out to use, it's just out.

I think that's it for the time being. Let me know if you have any questions!

Printers

The main printer key has broken and the other ones do not work properly. I have been trying to get ITS over here but they have not come, so to refill try playing with the locks with and without the keys. Some of the locks just work by moving the latch.

Sorry and thank you!

HPE 247 video

We've had some students in from the Human Anatomy (HPE 247) class looking for a video. They don't appear to have been given a title or call number to look for, but we are now pretty sure that they are looking for:

Sports Medicine Evaluation Series, volume 5 (the wrist and hand)
VIDEO 617.1027 Sp6m v.5

I've placed this on reserve for that class (instructor Amanda Tracy) just in case we get more students in wanting to use it.

Harry Potter Exhibit

You may start getting calls at the desk about the Harry Potter Exhibit, Emily has printed out a FAQ for us. You can find it on the clip board at the information services desk, please glance over it.

Springer ebook update from Emily

Good news! CARLI and Springer have finally learned to play nicely together, and our Springer e-book collection is now live--and I've been promised that it's permanent this time. CARLI finally sent Springer the finalized, State of Illinois approved license agreement late last week (folks at both CARLI and Springer have confirmed that this was the problem all along), and Springer's tech folks finalized setting up our long-ago promised perpetual access earlier this afternoon.

What does this mean for those of you at the ISD? 1) SpringerLink ebooks should work now...all the time. 2) If they don't, there could be something wrong on either end. Try again in 10-20 minutes to see if you can get in. If it's still not working, please do let me know so that I can dig for answers.

More Windows 7 Updates

With the Windows 7 upgrade they do not have that nice little money icon to tell us how many print credits a student has left. The way a student can check how many credits they have left is to log on to Merlin, "add print credits" and in that screen it should tell people how much they have left.

Also, the fishbowl printer is not called the fishbowl anymore, it is now the small lab. ITS is trying to transition that name out, so please call the fishbowl the small lab.

Thanks!
