MAJOR FAIRCHILD BOOKS/JOURNALS SHIFT COMPLETED
The major book and bound volume shift in Fairchild Library has been completed. Books are now found beginning on Fairchild 2 North, ascending to Fairchild 3 North, and concluding on Fairchild 4 North. For instance, the business collection (650s) is now located in proper Dewey sequence on 4 North. The bound journals begin on Fairchild 3 South and conclude on Fairchild 2 North. All locations in the online catalog have been changed to reflect the new locations. As always, please ask for help at the Circulation Desk if you have difficulty locating materials.



NEW LIBRARY DATABASE INTERFACES
As of July 1, because of changes in vendor offerings, a number of library databases are now supplied by new vendors. Users will experience some differences in searching and interface design.

Affected databases and new vendors include:

--Applied Science and Technology Abstracts (Ebsco)

--ATLA Religion Index (Ebsco)

--Econlit (Ebsco)

--Georef (CSA)

--MLA Bibliography (Ebsco)

--Sociological Abstracts (CSA)

Art Abstracts has been replaced by a new database, Art and Architecture Complete (Ebsco), which offers similar indexing coverage to Art Abstracts, but also includes many full text periodicals in art, architecture and design.

Lehigh's library databases can be accessed through the Database Finder http://library.lehigh.edu/databasefinder.html and are also included in ASA, the library catalog. Questions about a new interface should be directed to the librarian identified by the "i" button for the database.



GOOGLE CALENDAR: COUNTDOWN TO IMPLEMENTATION
This spring LTS announced that Lehigh will transition from Oracle Calendar to Google Calendar. Oracle will be taken out of service 11/30/10. As part of this migration, LTS is offering Google Calendar training throughout the summer. Go to https://cf.lehigh.edu/seminar for a list of classes. Already familiar with Calendar? Check out this handout for Google Calendar tips and tricks: http://tinyurl.com/26nb8td. You can also contact the Help Desk at 8-4357 with specific questions about Calendar.
