From Lynne Gamache:
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let everybody know that both Koerner and Woodward will again be offering extended hours during the upcoming exam period.
Koerner will be open until 1 am every single night during this period.
Woodward will be open until midnight Sundays through Thursdays (but closing at their regular time of 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays).

Never disrespect the librarians.

Students from Ling 319 are looking for books and articles on a language family for an annotated bibliography. They need 8 sources. The resources have to be on the language family, not on a specific language.
A subject heading search will do the trick; just follow this format:

I am a big fan of the grand prize winner of Pimp My Bookcart

The interfiling of books and journals has been completed on Floor 4. Level 4 ended with PR 4799, with Level 5 starting with PR 4800.
So to recap
Level One – A to end of PNs
Level Four – PQs to PR4799
Level Five – PR4800 to ?
Level Six – ? to Zs
We know there is a need for new bookmarks, floor plans, etc. Once the move is complete, we will proceed with these.

Hi all,
I just did a tutorial for the UVIC Library website and found this great list of RefWorks export/import directions for a number of databases, complete with screen shots.
The RefWorks cite does, of course, have directions for this, but I found the screen shots much easier to follow and it may help when talking patrons through it during those fun RefWorks phone calls we get at the reference desk.

FYI
Service for the NFB database CineRoute has been discontinued and the CineRoute station (located in front of the journals/microforms desk) is available for general use for the time being. The station has access to all library resources and the open web though Tracey Douglas has not yet had the opportunity to look at it and ensure that it has been properly updated. A new version of CineRoute is expected sometime this spring, at which point it may be reconsidered for acquisition.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions about CineRoute or the former CineRoute station.
Thanks,
Tara.

The provincial government has decided to close the BC legislature library .
From Friday’s Vancouver Sun article:
“About half the 30 librarians will be sent to other jobs in government. As for the millions of precious, and in some cases priceless, materials in its dusty stacks, a treasure trove of Canadian history filled with the esoteric businesses of governments dating back before Confederation, will be sent to a warehouse. It’s also not clear the institution will ever come back to the legislature since the politicians, who are are short on space, have been eying the cavernous space for a warren of offices.”

Beginning March 13, 2007, Statistics Canada has started releasing preliminary data from the
2006 Census. At present basic population and dwelling counts are available for various geographies. Release dates for upcoming topics are posted. New developments will be posted on the Census of Canada page on the GovPubs web page.
