Science Librarian Notes: March 2012
http://sciencelibrariannotes.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Reports that the books in the McLafferty Annex soon will be returned to the Morris Library building. I'm excited about the books coming back.

As excited as I am, I try not to grin too widely in front of Dean Carlson. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Morris Library's Facebook Wall.

http://sciencelibrariannotes.blogspot.com/2012/05/e-books-access-over-ownership-pretend.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. E-Books Access over Ownership = A Pretend Price Panacea. NPR had a story about e-books in libraries. This morning. For a quick news story, they did pretty good. Soon after the story mentioned dubious claim that libraries could save money by using e-books, it mentioned the difficulties and costs of e-books. Many (most) e-books are not purchases.

Science Librarian Notes: December 2009
http://sciencelibrariannotes.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. Trying again for a new SIUCat. Last summer, Morris Library, along with the other libraries that are part of I-Share, switched to a new version of the library catalog. That upgrade turned into a minor. For CARLI, the consortial organization responsible for I-Share. By the end of summer, the public views of the catalog were reverted back to the old version. CARLI is slowly, tentatively trying again with the new catalog interface. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Campus News and Blogs.
