Kinda funny, kinda not. Have a listen here.
What do you think?

Check out this nifty site from MIT: The Humanities Virtual Browsery.
http://scripts.mit.edu/~gpadilla/blog/
The browsery is designed to highlight new books in the Humanities, prizewinners, and “Hidden in the Stacks” favorites. Each post includes links to the catalogue record, other books by the author, comments from readers, book reviews, and RSS feeds. A virtual companion to the new book truck!

Sue Andrews reports that new Microlog records that are downloaded from ProQuest now include a hyperlink to the online full-text when available. No more having to search Google for the title to find out if it’s available online for these latest records!
Look at “BC mining plan [microform] : report on progress” as an example.

Students are reporting that they are unable to log in to the public terminals with their CWL. The library barcode and pin did work for these students. Tracey in systems thinks this problem may be related to the change earlier this month in the CWL that requires that Netinfo/Interchange accounts are correctly synchronized with a CWL account.
What does this mean, you ask? If the student hasn’t synchronized their CWL and interchange accounts, the CWL login won’t work. They can successfully log in with their barcode and pin.

An excellent way to pass a very fun five minutes: History of Evil

Hi all!
Just so you’re aware, the printer that faces north at print station near the reference desk is having issues! It charged $9.00 from a customer’s print card for jobs that did not print (though they disappeared from the print queue), then printed three articles without incident, and then printed a fourth article with blank pages where some of the printed pages should have been. After the first incident, I printed a page from one of the 2nd floor computers without problem, but evidently the printer is choosing its battles.
Just a note of caution for upcoming desk shifts!

Some amusing YouTube videos made by students or universities about RefWorks. RefWorks Citation Cop is just one that’s available for your viewing enjoyment!

Like Google, the Wiki world continues to grow. Visit WikiHow for fun tips on how to pick locks, be romantic, make a chocolate portrait, play Guitar Hero, etc. All the things every well-informed individual should know how to do.

After our session on LexisNexis I discovered there is a LexisNexis wiki.
