We have purchased the Readers' Guide Retrospective database, which covers 1890-1982 (volumes 1-44) of the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. The database includes both original and updated subject headings. The print volumes will be going to storage.
Take a look at faceted browing through Aqua Browser at Queens Library and The University of Chicago and through Primo at Boston College and University of Iowa Search Smarter.
To give you a feel for what faceted browsing is -- this message from Iowa: “The new and improved Smart Search on the UI Libraries website provides a single search box that searches the InfoHawk Catalog, the Iowa Digital Library, E-resources, E-books, E-journals and even journal articles.”
Hello, everybody. I've been getting a lot of questions about students with a problem sending attachments in Blackboard: the "my computers" icon does not appear so that the student may browse and attach their files, only an "x." All the student will need to do is right-click on the "x"
and choose Java, and then he/she will be given the option to browse files.
Another way to correct this problem is by choosing "run" when the Java message first pops up, rather than "ignore."
