New resources at the USFP Library

Here are the items newly arrived at the USF Polytechnic Library during the month of August. As always, new circulating books and children’s books are found in the “New books” stacks in the Group Study area and can be checked out; the new reference and DVD titles are being immediately shelved in their respective stacks.

To note, we received many new titles as well as donations. Of particular interest are the 6th edition of the APA Publication Manual (reference), a book showcasing architect Santiago Calatrava’s work (circulating) and our first print issue of Scientific American (top choice in a faculty survey on scientific magazines. We look forward our first issue of Psychology Today, second choice in the survey.)

Database trial: FAITS and SMP

Over the next month, the USF Libraries has been given trial access to the following databases: FAITS, and SMP.

The first of two database trials being offered by Faulkner Information Services is FAITS (Faulkner Advisory For Information Technology Studies). FAITS reports are designed to help students, instructors, and administrators learn about and keep up with the critical issues, emerging trends, products, services, and vendors driving the IT industry. Topical coverage areas include IT infrastructure, telecommunications, wireless technology, data networking, convergence, security, enterprise systems, the internet, and technology vendors.

The second Faulkner database is SMP (Security Management Practices), in which new reports are available every month covering facility security, IT and network security, financial and legal security, business continuity, biometrics, risk and crisis management, public safety, personnel security, and security technology. Also included is CSO Digest, a weekly electronic news digest summarizing all of the major security industry news, events, and happenings.

To access the two Faulkner databases, click here. If you are off campus, make sure you log on to the Library’s web site first. These databases will be available through September 25, 2009.

We will let you know when the main catalog is back on. We apologize for the inconvenience.

UPDATE: all functions are now back in working order

Federal Work-Study position

ScienceDirect downtime Saturday

ScienceDirect will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance for approximately 7.5 hours from 2:30 PM to 10:00 PM, Saturday, August 29th.

ScienceDirect is the full text database for the Elsevier journals the USF Libraries subscribe to, in multiple disciplines.

Now available at USF Libraries: Text-A-Librarian

It’s official! People are now sending more text messages than they are making cell phone calls. Librarians are aware of the popularity of texting and are ready to take their professional services to cell phones.

Starting now, patrons of approximately 50 librariesfrom all over the US - including USF – will be able to text a question to (309) 222-7740 and a real, live librarian will respond within minutes. The service is free of charge, but standard text messaging rates do apply. Staffed by librarians from around the country, answers are sent to cell phones by librarians in 320 characters or less, or the equivalent of two 160-character text messages. To get more details, as well as hours and participating libraries, check out the My Info Quest page at http://www.myinfoquest.info/

More information about My Info Quest

It’s a different way of helping people get the answers they need, wherever they are at the time, with professional assistance. The service, named My Info Quest is the first collaborative text messaging reference service of its kind. Alliance Library System (http://www.alliancelibrarysystem.com) in East Peoria, Illinois has partnered with participating libraries, Altarama (http://www.altarama.com) and Peoplewhere (http://www.peoplewhere.com) to build this exciting new reference service. The pilot program will extend until December 31, 2009. Other partners include San Jose State University Graduate School of Library and Information Science, South Central Regional Library Council in New York, and TAP Information Services.

H1N1 virus precautions

Hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes are available at the LTB 1115 front desk for your usage, in order to help preventing the spread of the H1N1 virus this Fall semester. You are welcome to use them to clean the computer mouse, keyboards and office tools like the stapler and paper punch before you use them. We will regularly clean the desks, tables and doorknobs.

We encourage you to follow the usual precautions as well: wash hands, cough/sneeze into your arm (not your hands), stay home if sick, etc.

Please see the USF H1N1 Information and Resources page for more information and more tips on illness prevention.
