No fax service at Phillips Bookstore

Just a reminder that there is no public fax service at the bookstore any more. I confirmed this in person today. Users can send a fax for free at http://www.bestfreefax.com/SendFreeFax.php

Public Fax Service

It's our understanding that no one is offering public fax service on campus right now, until the Student Union copy center opens.

ILLiad weirdness -- 8-16-12

Hi all,

Yesterday I helped a new ILLiad user submit an ILL request through Article Linker (originating in Web of Science). He was able to authenticate into ILLiad, and his ILL article request form was populated with no problems.

He didn't remember ever having set up an ILLiad account though, so I had him check his user information. It was BLANK. I've reported this to Mayo, but wanted you to be on the lookout for similar weirdness with new ILLiad users. I am not able to replicate this "new user weirdness" since I already have an ILLiad account.

Search all state gov site at once

It used to be that to search federal and state sites you could go to google.com/unclesam. But that has closed (for more information on this click here). However, the people at Research Buzz have created a nifty work around that allows you to search all state government sites. http://researchbuzz.me/2012/07/11/limit-your-google-search-to-official-us-state-web-sites/

Could be helpful.

Celebrity Access Database

We have a class assignment right now where students need to use the Celebrity Access database. Celebrity Access is a password controlled database limited to one simultaneous user at a time. It is available from the computer in room 259 otherwise known as the Bloomberg Room. Information about the database may be obtained from the Databases A-Z list.

To use Celebrity Access:
• Reserve room 259 at the Service desk up to one week in advance.
• Obtain the daily password from the Reference desk.
• The Reference desk will open the door to the room.
• Please let the Reference desk know when you’re finished with the room.

The directions for how to obtain the daily password for Celebrity Access through an MTSU email account may be found in the small, white Database Passwords notebook at the desk. Once the daily password is obtained add it to one of the password slips of paper kept with the directions, give it to the student, and let them into the Bloomberg Room. The database URL is http://www.celebrityaccess.com . Thanks.
