Welcome Back Edition
Collection Shift and Bound Journal Review: We have prepared a LibGuide that provides an update on the project : http://research.pugetsound.edu/Summer2018. We are now moving to the second phase of this project that involves consolidation of materials in the lower level of the library. We have identified titles where your input regarding ongoing need is desired and we are inviting your review. Liaison librarians will be distributing spreadsheets of titles to your Department Chair for your review. Please contact your liaison librarian if you have additional questions.
New Resources: We are pleased to share that we have added a number of new resources this summer, including 3 new JSTOR collections as well as the American Antiquarian Society Historical Periodicals Collections which together provide full-text access to over 590 titles.
New Interlibrary Loan System: Our interlibrary loan ILLiad software will be moving to a new system called Tipasa on August 22, 2018. Your user account will be moved, but not your borrowing history. If you have questions please contact ill@pugetsound.edu. This move was necessary due to changes in the vendor support.
iMac Lab: There is now an iMac Lab on the Library’s 1st floor. This is a great new service for our students who will now have access to the machines from opening to closing.
Makerspace: We encourage you to consider how you might integrate Makerspace activities into your classes. Contact us at makerspace@pugetsound.edu and visit our website: http://research.pugetsound.edu/makerspace.
