HSL Access notes - March 23rd

Hello Everyone,

 

A few notes for the week….

 

 

Audio-Digest

Unfortunately we have not been able to get MARC records for 3 of the Audio Digest titles (MP3 format). 

General Surgery
Obstetrics/Gynecology
Otolaryngology

 

They do show in the e-journal list, however there will not be an internet link for these items showing in the catalog record.  They are still accessible when

users authenticate into the Audio Digest portal.

 

 

Refworks and ProQuest for Word

Clients needing to access ProQuest for Word for use with RefWorks will need to use stations in the Computer Commons.  Our public stations will be configured with the updated ‘ProQuest of Word’ by the ITS team when possible.

 

 

LexiComp

I have had a couple of UC clients this week requesting a KRS barcode so they can sign up for LexiComp through AHS.  I spoke to Taryn about this and she recommends that clients set up LexiComp on an Alberta Health Services computer.  If you are on an Alberta Health Services computer when you select the LexiComp link you will not be asked for a barcode, but taken directly to a Lexi-Comp access page.  Clients (both UC residents and AHS) can then select the Mobile Access button (upper right area of page), and set up their mobile access.

 

 

Toronto Notes

The 2015 edition of the popular Toronto Notes is available in the bookstore.  Health Sciences Library is purchasing 3 copies that are currently being processed by collections.  We should have library copies available soon.

 

Study Tables

A couple of our back study tables have had pieces of the leg facing come loose.  McCrum’s have had a look and will be replacing missing pieces and checking all tables soon.

 

Next Week – Sessions

Health Sciences Library staff meeting:  Tuesday, March 24^th  2:00 – 3:00

New Tour to The Military Museum and Founder’s Gallery

Many of you may have attended the TMM tour last year.  This spring there is a new exhibit in the Founder’s Gallery that has received excellent reviews, Burnt Generation.  I know that last year the opportunity to view the exhibit with the TMM staff’s helpful interpretive comments made the tour very meaningful.

You may wish to catch this new exhibit!
