REQUESTING LINDERMAN MATERIALS DURING THE RENOVATION
Most of the Linderman Library collection has been moved offsite during
the building renovation. Items with Linderman locations in the ASA catalog are housed at the Library Materials Center (LMC) and other remote storage sites. Users may place requests via the Request Form for Linderman/LMC Storage Item.
Requested material is retrieved on a 24-hour notice weekday delivery. Some materials do not circulate and must be used in-house or in Special Collections. You will be notified if that is the case. Otherwise, you will receive an email notice when your item is available for checkout or pickup at the Circulation Desk. Another option for Lehigh users is to consult materials at the Library Materials Center. Contact inaccess@lehigh.edu
New humanities books, small core circulating and reference collections, leisure reading, new issues of humanities periodicals and humanities reserves have been moved to Fairchild-Martindale Library. See the Linderman FAQ for details http://www.lehigh.edu/lts/linderman/faq.html
NEW COPIERS - LOWER PRICES: BUY A COPY CARD TODAY!
New Ricoh digital photocopiers were installed over the summer on the first and second floors of the Fairchild-Martindale Library. The new copiers are easy to use and make great copies for a reduced cost. Previously the cost of a single copy made with a GoldPlus card was 13 and coin-op copies were priced at 15 per page. Due to negotiated reductions in price plus a subsidy provided by LTS, the new cost will be 5 per page!
The new photocopy machines do not support GoldPlus readers, instead they
work with a set value copy card. These new cards are available for purchase at the Fairchild-Martindale Library Circulation Desk for $5.00 and $25.00. Each card has a one time purchase cost of $1.00. The $5.00 card will cost $1.00 for the card and the remaining $4.00 value will make 80 copies and the $25.00 card will cost $1.00 for the card and the remaining $24.00 value will make 480 copies. When the copy card value is depleted bring it to the Circulation Desk and any amount of value can be purchased and added to the card. Copy cards can be purchased by charging the cost to a GoldPlus account, a personal, research, or departmental bursar account, or paid for with cash.
The Circulation Desk staff can answer questions, or contact Sharon
Wiles-Young (x83046).
ACCESS EXPANDED FOR DISSERTATIONS IN THE HUMANITIES
Humanities and social sciences dissertations, from institutions in the U.S. and other countries, are now available in our virtual library and accessible online on and off campus. This means that when you are searching ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and find a dissertation from another institution of interest to you, you may receive free and immediate online delivery of the full-text of that dissertation. All social sciences and humanities dissertations, including education from 1997, to present are available for digital delivery; for some institutions a larger back file is accessible. To download the dissertations, simply click on the PDF icon displayed in the abstract view. Wish to try out this expanded access to dissertations? For on and off campus connections, go to the Database Finder scope note
at http://databases.lib.lehigh.edu/finder/dbfull.asp?DBID=163
or add ProQuest Dissertations and Theses to your research databases view in your MyLibrary in the Campus Portal. Click on EDIT and then select ProQuest Dissertations and Theses if the database is not already showing in your research databases list.
To take advantage of the ProQuest search interface features, including an ALERTS service, click on the abstract view to show the metadata for a "more like this" search to find dissertations on the same topic, directed by the same advisor, completed at the same institution, etc.
HISTORICAL STATISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES
A major reference work published in 1949, 1960 and 1975 by the U.S. Bureau of the Census has recently (2006) been updated by Cambridge University Press in a monumental expansion containing 3 times more data than the earlier editions. The Millennial Online edition acquired by LTS makes this extensive source of quantitative data available in downloadable and customizable form. Researchers in the social, behavioral, humanistic and natural sciences who need U.S. statistics on topics as diverse as economics and trade, history, climate, demographics, education, government, finance, law, natural resources, business, religion, migration and sociology will find data organized and contextualized by experts in the field. To explore this landmark compendium of statistics go to: http://databases.lib.lehigh.edu/finder/dbfull.asp?DBID=197

H: DRIVE SPACE INCREASED TO 500 MEGABYTES
In the past faculty, staff and students were given a file space
allocation of 350 megabytes on the Home server, represented by the LAN
drive letter "H". This space allocation has recently been increased to
500 megabytes. Saving files on the H: drive carries three great benefits:
1. Files are stored in a remote location, backed up nightly, and can be
recovered if you accidentally delete a file.
2. Files are available from any networked computer on campus. You can
edit a file at one location and open it at another. No disks or thumb
drives to carry!
3. All files are scanned nightly for viruses.
LTS encourages you to use your H: drive. Someday, you may be glad you did!
