Changes to eLibrary Subject Categories

Hi Everyone,

As you will probably be aware, Gill and I have been working with the SLs to reduce the number of Subject Categories within the eLibrary. In order to help you keep track of the changes I have saved a document to the w: drive that details all the new categories and also what has happened to all the old categories.

The document is called Changes to MetaLib Subject Categories - Sept 2007 and it can be found in the following folder: W:\Team Work Areas\Electronic Resources\MetaLib - SFX

I hope this will help everyone to keep track of what has changed,

Thanks,

James.

MyiLibrary e-books in OPAC

Hi Everyone,

Good News! Sandy has now managed to add all the MyiLibrary books to the OPAC, so you should now be able to find any of these titles by searching in the usual way.

When linking to an e-resource on the standalone OPACs you will get a ‘Page Cannot be Displayed’ message, as these machines are restricted to just Library Catalogue use. We’ve asked Paul to try get a message to display when a user clicks on a link to an e-resource, telling them that they need to use a networked PC. However, in the meantime please advise users about this if they ask you.

Sandy is hoping to add the ebrary titles at some point in the next month, when she has received the new records from ebrary.

Thanks,

James.

Printing Information on CU Portal

Hi All,

I have been asked about adding information about printing to the Library CU Portal area, but this information is already available in the ITS area, so rather than duplicating this information I thought it would be helpful to point everyone in this direction.

If you click on the IT Sevices link on the CUP homepage (just under the Library link on the left) you are taken to the ITS homepage.

There is a direct link to the Printing Credits section of the Online Store on the left hand menu of this page, which students can use to top up their credit online.

There is also a Printing section with a link to 'Printing in open access rooms' in the 'Looking for a facility or service' section in the centre of the ITS homepage. This will take you to the general printing guidelines section of the ITS website and the different aspects of printing can be linked to by clicking on the tabs that say Student Printing Purchasing Printing Credits Printing Your Job etc.

Hope this is useful,

James.

Thanks

Returning students login problems

Some returning students have reported problems logging in. According to ITS, this is probably because their passwords have expired over the summer. They just need to re-register. If they're still having problems, they should be referred to the ITS desk.

Business School student timetables

There's an OMIS icon on students' desktops. If they click on this, select their course name and code, they will eventually locate their timetable.
