Student Employees and 2nd floor Scanning Station

Please remember that any student employee who does not have a time card in the drawer will need to talk to me before that are permitted to work.

Also, the scanning station upstairs on the 2nd floor is password protected. It is the same as the log-in and password used by the students for Voyager.

Thanks.

Reference Stat Sheets

We had no blank stat sheets when I came in to work today (Saturday), and no one here has any idea where they may be stored. I was thinking it might be a good idea to save a copy on the reference desk computer, that way we can print some out as they are needed.

Thanks,
Sasha

IMM Reference Transcript Log not working

Because of CMS updating I was unable to paste the chats into the log. I pasted into a word document that is on the desktop. I figured when those people get through with wonking us around we can paste them in then. Hopefully it will work again tomorrow and Sunday. Putting the 2 in after the www doesn't work for this site.

www2

If you are trying to link to a CCL web page and it's not working, put a 2 after the www
Or use http://www2.moreheadstate.edu/library until our site is updated.

ScienceDirect now has Image Search

SFX Should be Working Well Now

The problem with SFX in which JSTOR and IIMPFT links were not connecting for off-campus users should now be fixed.

The only problem with linking inside of SFX that Mykie and I are aware of right now is the traditional problem of Lexis-Nexis not going directly to the article.

If any of you discover bad links in SFX please report them to Mykie. It is particularly helpful if you spot a bad link when you are connecting from home. You can Cc me for everything if you like, but if an error message mentions EZProxy, then definitely let me know about it.

Thanks

DOI Numbers

I had a phone call from a student today who needed a DOI number for an article being used. I had never heard of this before, and had no idea how to access it at all, particularly from our databases. I think our nursing students have to use it pretty often. I muddled through enough to get the number from another source, however, I thought it might be useful if someone who had the knowledge could explain exactly how to locate the number and whether or not the number is specific to the article only, or to the article and the place that is holding it. Or am I the only one who doesn't know?

:)
