PARKING AT LINDERMAN LIBRARY
Library Drive, which runs in front of the University Center and around Linderman Library, has been converted into a pedestrian-only area over the summer. Users of Linderman Library can no longer park in these areas. There are now some short-term smart card parking meters available behind Linderman, accessible via Williams Drive. Handicapped spaces will be added as soon as possible in the rotunda area. The largest parking area in close proximity is the Alumni Memorial Garage, a short walk from Linderman.



GOOGLE APPS SEMINARS THIS FALL!
Have you tried Lehigh's Google Apps? Google Apps takes standard office, calendar, and Web publishing software into the 21st century. Access your files from any networked computer (great for traveling!), collaborate with colleagues at Lehigh and beyond, and take advantage of the Lehigh customization - the Lehigh e-mail directory is integrated and searchable, for example, and you can elect to share files within the Lehigh community. During the fall semester, LTS staff will offer four Google Apps seminars on these tools:

Google Docs -- Google Docs is analogous to the Microsoft Office suite with its word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet tools, but it's all online (accessible from anywhere) and enhanced with sharing and collaboration features.

Google Calendar -- Now you can manage one or more calendars from an easy drag-and-drop interface. Powerful features make it easy to manage your own calendar, view or contribute to others, schedule meetings with colleagues, share calendar info (or keep it private), and more!

Google Sites -- Now you can create a simple Web page to share files and resources - without the learning curve. While not as full-featured as Dreamweaver, Google Sites is a good way to share files and documents and communicate news.

Google Forms -- When Survey Monkey is more than you need, Google forms are an easy way to gather informal (*non-sensitive*) data or feedback. Responses are captured in an online spreadsheet for review and analysis.

Look for the Google Apps seminars when the LTS seminar schedule is announced, or go to the Seminars listing to check for the new seminar list. For more information about Google Apps at Lehigh, go to the Lehigh Google Apps FAQ or contact the Help Desk at 610-758-4357.



LEHIGH WEBMAIL’S NEW INTERFACE: AN OVERVIEW IN (LESS THAN) 5 MINUTES
Lehigh's new default Webmail interface - called the Standard interface - looks very much like Mozilla Thunderbird and other desktop e-mail packages. With the new dynamic interface, navigating your mail is faster and easier than ever. Lehigh Webmail users can view a short demo of the new interface features at http://screencast.com/t/T7fz1LFFlTr.



NEW FULLTEXT EDUCATION DATABASE
EBSCO's Education Research Complete http://library.lehigh.edu/databasefinder/moreinfo.php?db=240 is the newest addition to the research databases available from the Library. In addition to indexing and abstracting 2,150 journals in education and related fields, the database provides both Lehigh Links (SFX) for connecting to our e-journal collections and full-text in HTML or PDF of 1,200 titles as well.

ERC increases the number of journals immediately available online for titles the Library has in print or in a limited electronic archive currently, as well as titles brand new to our collections. For example, journals such as the Journal of Engineering Education, Multicultural Review and School Psychology Review were in the print collections only. Brand new titles include International Schools Journal and Curriculum Review. Lastly, some titles, such as Educational Leadership, are easier to view online in the EBSCO platform which conforms to library-friendly, multiple user e-journal practice; online access to it previously involved a title-specific user name and password. As the many fans of the library's e-journal collection know, our goal for all electronic resources require only the Lehigh user name and password for remote, off-campus use.

The EBSCO search interface may be changed by a user to Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Greek, Polish, Hungarian, and Thai. Similar language preference options are available in the majority of the research databases accessible from the Database Finder http://library.lehigh.edu/databasefinder.html.

ERC supports direct export to RefWorks@Lehigh, "cite this," alerts, etc. Two research databases for history (America: History and Life and Historical Abstracts) are also provided by the Libraries on the EBSCO interface.



LTS INCREASES HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING CAPACITY
Library and Technology Services recently added five new systems to its High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure that will give users significantly more computing power.

The new systems include: (1) Dell 16-Core compute server, (3) Sun 8-Core compute servers and (1) Sun 20-Terabyte storage server. They will be available for users who have HPC Service Level II Enhanced accounts. See the following link to learn about the HPC service levels: http://www.lehigh.edu/computing/hpc/services/index.html. The fee for obtaining a Level II Enhanced account is $300 per year and may be obtained by requesting an account by going to the following web page: http://www.lehigh.edu/computing/hpc/help/forms.html.

These systems will be in operation prior to the fall semester and documentation will be available on the HPC web pages shortly. For users who need the sole use of a large computing system, the High Performance Computing Committee is currently developing policies and guidelines that will make the systems available to rent for limited periods of time. Additional storage will also be made available for a fee. If you have any questions regarding the new systems or utilizing High Performance Computing at Lehigh, please contact Brandon Leeds at byl405@lehigh.edu or Gale Fritsche at gdf2@lehigh.edu.



SUPPORTING GLOBAL LEHIGH
The exciting atmosphere surrounding the arrival of new international students on campus is being felt in LTS. Lehigh’s librarians are preparing to welcome these diverse scholars with special orientation sessions geared to explaining the significant differences between how U.S. academic libraries function as compared to their home libraries. Six sessions have been planned to accommodate the demand that exists as our international students pre-register for workshops designed to introduce them to resources, clarify expectations for citing and appropriate use, sign them up for essential services and answer their questions. Over the summer, librarians have worked with the Office of International Students and Scholars, the Office of the First-Year Experience and the Graduate Life Office to understand the special needs of these students who are such a significant part of the Global Lehigh initiative.



LIBRARY LAPTOP LOANERS
The ten library laptop computers available for loan in both Fairchild-Martindale and Linderman Libraries have been replaced with new Lenovo T400 machines. The loan period is for four hours.



DIGITAL BROWN AND WHITE INTRODUCTION SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 10TH
At noon on Thursday, September 10th, Special Collections Librarian Ilhan Citak will introduce the digital archives of The Brown and White, Lehigh’s student newspaper, to the campus in a session in Linderman Library, Room 200. The resource will be Library and Technology Services’ 12th and largest digital site: a fully searchable digital edition of The Brown and White from 1894 to 2000. The web site will be http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/brownandwhite. This will serve not only as a valuable resource for the Lehigh community but also as a useful research site to explore aspects of the history of higher education, the development of the local community, and much more. The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Lehigh University Libraries.

MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION – NEW EXHIBIT
Selected art of Matisse and Picasso, renowned artists whose work is most commonly associated with museums, will be featured in the new Linderman Library exhibition, “The Limited Editions Club: A Pairing of Art and Literature.” Featuring works of art on paper by these and other artists, the show includes classics from antiquity, children’s favorites, and fine literature produced by the private press that has issued books by subscription for eighty years.

Founded according to the vision of George Macy in 1929, The Limited Editions Club has published important works featuring illustrations by famous artists and book designers in small numbers to ensure high quality. The Lehigh University Libraries acquired this important collection thanks to the generosity of alumnus David Green ’22 and his wife Jeannette, early subscribers to the press. The exhibition will be on display from August 12 – December 19, 2009.

PARKING AT LINDERMAN LIBRARY
Since Library Drive, which runs in front of the University Center and around Linderman Library, is being converted into a pedestrian-only area, users of Linderman Library can no longer park in these areas. However, there will be several handicapped parking spaces on the rotunda side available when the project is completed before the fall semester begins. There are changes to the traffic patterns in this area of campus. Currently, parking is available on Williams Drive and around Williams Hall. To get to the parking spaces on Williams Drive, traffic must enter from Taylor to Sayre Drive and proceed west on Williams Drive. To exit cars must go around Williams Hall and proceed east on Williams Drive.

Lehigh Webmail (formerly known as IMP) Upgraded!
LTS recently upgraded IMP Webmail system. This upgrade features a new interface (similar to Gmail) while still allowing you to select the "classic" interface if that's your preference. Three things to note about the new IMP:

1. With the new upgrade to IMP, LTS will be transitioning from the IMP branding to the more generic "Lehigh webmail." You can access Lehigh webmail at webmail.lehigh.edu as well as the usual IMP URLs.
   
2. IMP now offers three interfaces:
   
   • The standard mode is the *NEW DEFAULT* interface -- it's more like Gmail, allowing you to scroll through all messages and drag and drop messages. The search feature is now on the main screen. Note the submenu when you click the search box.
     
   • Classic mode (familiar interface) has some new features but keeps the same look and feel as the old IMP. The other two modes *do not* have all the features/options in the traditional mode.
     
   • Minimalist mode is the mobile-friendly interface.
   
   
3. Users who prefer the old interface will be able to select classic mode from the login page or click on the "classic webmail" tab after logging in. There is an icon to switch from classic webmail mode to standard mode too.
   
   

The new Lehigh Webmail (formerly known as IMP) will replace the portal email on August 1. Please send any suggestions/problems to portal@lehigh.edu.

CHANGES IN AVAILABILITY OF MICROSOFT SOFTWARE FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF
Students may download Microsoft Office for Windows or Macintosh. (Information here: http://www.lehigh.edu/software/.) Students who would prefer the software on DVD may purchase a copy at the LU bookstore - ($10 per DVD, limit 1 of either Office for Windows or Mac.) The Vista operating system upgrade is also available for purchase at the LU bookstore for $15, limit 1 per student. Microsoft policy does not allow LU to make the Vista operating system available via download. The Libraries will no longer be distributing Microsoft DVDs. Faculty/Staff who use SharePoint Designer, either for use on LU or personal computers, will no longer need to purchase it – the software is now available for free from Microsoft (http://office.microsoft.com/ free registration required.) Microsoft Office for Windows and Macintosh, Project, Visio and the Vista operating system upgrade may still be purchased at the bookstore for work-at-home use on personally-owned computers.

REFWORKS@LEHIGH GOES MOBILE!
Your library on RefWorks@Lehigh can now be viewed on your mobile device. With the launch of RefMobile, a “lite” version of RefWorks is accessible from a mobile device such as Blackberry or iPhone. You can add to your collection of citations while at a lecture, during a meeting with your advisor, while attending a conference, or from anywhere you carry your phone. Click here for ten reasons to use RefMobile. Here's an example of using RefMobile: While autism expert Dr. Geraldine Dawson was lecturing at Lehigh, she mentioned a study using an analysis of home movies to identify the onset of childhood disintegrative disorders. Using the “Smart Add” feature, a Lehigh Librarian was able to retrieve and add a citation and abstract for that study to a RefWorks@Lehigh library while continuing to listen to the lecture. In addition to using the “Smart Add” feature to build your library on the fly, you can view/manage folders and add notes. RefWorks@Lehigh is a library service fully integrated with Lehigh Links (SFX), research databases and Google Scholar; it is bibliographic information manager and a citation formatter introduced on campus in spring 2007. This free, web-based service is offered by LTS in support of faculty and student research. There are over 1,200 user accounts and approaching 70,000 citations in RefWorks@Lehigh. For assistance using RefMobile or any other aspect of RefWorks@Lehigh, please see the http://library.lehigh.edu/page.php?id=RefWorks%40Lehigh and contact your Client Services Librarian.

WIRELESS NETWORK UPGRADE
LTS has upgraded the wireless network in Linderman Library. The new wireless network offers broader coverage and faster speed, especially for laptops with network cards that can take advantage of the 802.11n standard. The upgrade consists of dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) Aruba access points that use the 802.11n draft standard for higher performance. The next phase of the wireless upgrade will be the EW Fairchild-Martindale Library, which is currently being upgraded, and is expected to be completed soon. *Technical Details* Two SSID's are being broadcast: "lu" for backward compatibility with our existing wireless network and "lehigh" which will be the _new_ SSID to take advantage of the 802.11n performance. Use the "lehigh" SSID whenever possible to take advantage of the higher speeds of 802.11n and for higher security using WPA2.

LTS WELCOMES NEW CLIR FELLOW
For the third time, LTS is participating in the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Academic Libraries for Humanists. The program “offers recent Ph.D. recipients in the humanities opportunities to develop as scholars and teachers while learning about modern librarianship, digital resources, e-publishing, archives, and collection development both digital and analog.” Our new Fellow, Melissa Grafe, received her Ph.D. in the history of medicine from Johns Hopkins in 2009. Her dissertation entitled, “Making ‘Medical Hall’: Dr. John Archer, Medical Practice, and Apprenticeship in Early America, 1769-1820” examined the shape and texture of late eighteenth century medical practices through the study of a family of doctors and apprentices working in Harford County, Maryland. Her research and teaching interests include early American and nineteenth century history of medicine, history, and material culture. Melissa worked in special collections at the Rare Book Room of the Institute of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins for six years prior to coming to Lehigh as a CLIR fellow. She has also worked in museums and historic sites in both Pennsylvania and North Dakota, and has interned for the Smithsonian. Previous CLIR Fellows at Lehigh include Megan Norcia (2005-6) and Lauren Coats (2007-8).

COMPUTER SITE UPGRADES IN PROCESS

GOOGLE DOCS FILE MANAGEMENT: THE VIDEO SERIES
One of the biggest benefits of having Lehigh's Google apps is that it's now easy to collaborate on documents with others. For new users, Google provides a good Getting Started video for Google Docs at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyjY8ZLzZrw. Help desk staff have prepared a video series for new Google Docs users who would like to find out the basics of file management in Google Docs: https://sites.google.com/a/lehigh.edu/lehigh-google-apps/google-docs-file-management .



LAPTOP ENCRYPTION OPPORTUNITY (DEADLINE JUNE 30, 2009)
In January 2009, Library and Technology Services (LTS) began a full disk encryption project for University-owned laptop computers containing sensitive or confidential information. Given the more portable nature of laptops, this project is being taken on in anticipation of a future expectation that all University computers be encrypted.

As a University computer user, we encourage you to take advantage of this offer to have your Lehigh-owned laptop encrypted by LTS using PGP Whole Disk Encryption software. If you are interested, please enter a work order at: http://www.lehigh.edu/help/. An LTS Computing Consultant will contact you shortly thereafter to schedule a time to install the software and encrypt your hard drive. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your departmental computing consultant or the help desk at 8-4357.



PHISHING PREVENTION AND E-MAIL LINKS
Recently, there have been a lot of scam e-mails arriving in e-mail Inboxes, appearing as if they are coming from LTS, and requesting personal information. Most of these e-mails include links to click on, which inevitably navigate you away from Lehigh's web site and onto another, in an effort to steal your information. The wise thing to do is to NEVER click on links in e-mail that ask for personal information. Unless you are paying close attention, you can easily be navigated to a malicious website and give away your personal ID and password.

Currently, you are required to change your Lehigh password every six months. In previous communications from LTS, we provided a link directly to the web page which allowed you to change your password. LTS has come to realize that by providing that link, we are asking users to perform an action we strongly discourage any other time. In an effort to provide consistency, LTS will no longer include those links in password related e-mail. These e-mails will now contain directions on how to access that page manually, rather than clicking on an e-mail link.

If you have any questions about an e-mail you have received which is requesting personal information, call your Computing Consultant or the Help Desk at 8-4357.



FAIRCHILD EXHIBIT HIGHLIGHTS EARTH WEEK
Lehigh University celebrated Earth Day with a week of activities designed to “green” the campus and highlight environmental issues on a global scale. Visit the exhibit in the Fairchild-Martindale Library next to the help desk displaying two weeks worth of printing paper discarded from Lehigh’s public site computing labs. This exhibit will be on display until April 24th.

NEW LEHIGH ELECTRONIC THESIS/DISSERTATION PROGRAM (ETD)
Spring ’09 doctoral and master graduates will submit a digital copy of their approved dissertation or thesis via the Lehigh ETD (electronic thesis/dissertation program) for publication of their work by ProQuest/UMI. The Lehigh ETD is a platform for students and college coordinators to track the submission and publication process. Electronic thesis/dissertation submission programs are in place in many universities; this is the first year for ETD at Lehigh.

For details about Lehigh ETD, see Dissertations and Theses: Electronic Submission Guidelines for Masters and Doctoral Students or from the Library home page under Guides, Handouts>Research and Finding Guides & Tools>dissertations.

LTS staff will offer training, both on campus and online, and drop-in sessions to assist students in converting their work to PDF. Training sessions planned for declared graduates will cover the approved dissertation or thesis electronic submission process from creating the student profile (account) on the Lehigh ETD site to converting the dissertation or thesis to PDF, as well as information on publishing and copyright options available.

College coordinators and Registrar staff as well as librarians, Help Desk staff, the Graduate Student Life Office and others have received comprehensive training on the use of the Lehigh ETD system.

Dissertations and theses produced at Lehigh will be exposed to the world of scholarship via ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, a subscription database held by libraries worldwide, and by open web access to the citation and abstract of dissertations from the last two years. Time to publication is eight to twelve weeks.



ADOBE SOFTWARE AVAILABILITY CHANGES
As of September 1, 2009, there will be changes in the availability of LTS maintained Adobe software.

Adobe Creative Suites and Adobe Acrobat will no longer be available through the LTS Install Software page for use in faculty and staff offices, due to difficulties with distributing this software through LTS systems, rising costs, and restrictions on concurrency. Many universities have arrived at a similar conclusion. Earlier versions of some programs will remain available but will not be upgraded.

Faculty and staff who use the software regularly on Lehigh-owned computers are encouraged to purchase the software at a significant discount through the AICUP program from JourneyEd.

For purchasing options, see: http://www.lehigh.edu/computing/software/adobe.htm

Example of pricing for Adobe Acrobat Professional under the AICUP Program (for use on Lehigh-owned computers only):

• License: $56.00
  
• Media CD: $26.00: this may be an optional cost. Contact your Computing Consultant to see if LTS has the CD for the software you are ordering – if so, you can just order the license and the Consultant will install the software for you.

Adobe software needed for use on a personally-owned computer may not be purchased under the AICUP program, but is available at a discounted box copy price from JourneyEd at their website: http://www.journeyed.com/select



WIRELESS NETWORK UPGRADE PLANS
LTS has upgraded the wireless network in the EW Fairchild-Martindale "B" building (Computing Center). The new wireless network offers broader coverage and faster speed, especially for laptops with network cards that can take advantage of the 802.11n standard. The upgrade consists of dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) Aruba access points that use the 802.11n draft standard for higher performance. The next phase of the wireless upgrade will be Whitaker Lab and Linderman Library. These buildings have recently upgraded switches which have the necessary speed for the gigabit Ethernet based Aruba access points.

Technical Details
Two SSID's are being broadcast: "lu" for backward compatibility with our existing wireless network and "lehigh" which will be the new SSID to take advantage of the 802.11n performance. Use the "lehigh" SSID whenever possible to take advantage of the higher speeds of 802.11n and for higher security using WPA2.
