Hi all
A request for help in finding this item came through HSS email yesterday. Thought I would share.
Sex and Vigor in Populus Science 17 September 1948 108: 302-303.
Do we have it? Hint… punctuation counts in citations!

From Paul…
Thanks to Tracey and the magic of Sytems(TM), we can now print to the public print station from the reference desk (or any other) computer.
To do so, you will have to set up a new printer in the traditional manner.
Follow this path:
Control Panel/Printers and Faxes/Add printer/../Network Printer/
When asked for the network name, type
\\gamma\HUMANITIES-P1 Public Printer
(it will appear in a drop down list as soon as you finish typing “\\gamma\”
After that, you’ll be able to select that printer in the normal manner.
When you print to the print station, you will bypass all the payment controls, etc, and the job will print out immediately. So it’s best to have a look and make sure there’s not a huge queue of people waiting to print, just in case your job gets mixed in with someone else’s.

Movable Type was upgraded over the holidays, and now supports the use of tags. So feel free to put posts in categories, and try out the tag option as well. More information here.
But… I still can’t figure out how to make the tags display!
On the downside, the upgrade seems to have lost the posted by ‘name’.
Cheers, Ellen

From Lynne Gamache on Friday January 5th:
“Yesterday we completed the E’s. This point represents 33% of the collection consisting of Koerner books, Koerner bound journals, and IKBLC books. To get there, we have used 31.2% of the available shelving. Well done, Kerry, Erin, David and the student moving crew. Thanks, too, to Lincoln for his help over the past couple of weeks.”

Hi all, just a reminder that we have a large collection of governmental CDROMs that may be useful to you. They are easy to overlook. If you go to GovInfo and select “Format type” CDROM, you will see a complete list.
Some of the interesting titles include:

UBC Library is currently trialling the database Lexicons of Early Modern English.
Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) is a historical database of monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries, lexical encyclopedias, hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and lexically-valuable treatises surviving in print or manuscript from the Tudor, Stuart, Caroline, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods (1480-1702).

The trial ends January 10, 2007.

We now have electronic access to the International Encyclopedia of Linguistics*, part of the Oxford Reference Online collection.
The Encyclopedia encompasses the full range of topics in linguistics, including such areas as historical, comparative, formal, mathematical, functional, philosophical, and sociolinguistics.
There are a couple of neat tools in the Oxford Reference Online collection worth pointing out to patrons:

—————————————-
* If patrons prefer the print book version of the International Encyclopedia of Linguistics, we also have the four-volume set in the Reference section at call number P29 .I58 2003.

The books and journals interfiling reached call number CD3645 on Friday Nov 24.

Hello all
A lot of students at the Ref Desk and in classes mention they can’t get the VPN or proxy to work. There is a third option that has been available for a few months, and the link to the information has been made more accessible from the Connecting from Home page. It is the ‘rewriting proxy’ which requires logging in with campus-wide login and pin, and then voila, you have access to databases, ejournals, and elink from off-campus. It is a slower connection than the VPN or proxy, so the VPN/proxy are still the best options, but for those that – for whatever reason – can’t use the VPN or proxy, the rewriting proxy provides very easy access.

The books and journals have been interfiled to BM316 as of Friday November 17th. The pace may slow down a bit now with increased demands on shelvers time to do regular shelving. Note also, more journals have been moved to swing space so arrangement of journals is a little confusing there. Maps available at the Ref and Journals Desks.
