Tipasa (ILL) and Discovery Issue

Hi All,

Currently, Tipasa (our new ILL system) and Discovery are not "talking to one another" so if a patron locates an article via Discovery, they will need to log into their ILL account from the home page and copy and paste the article information into the request form instead of clicking on the "Request this item through interlibrary loan" link under Full Text Finder.

If they click the "Request this item through interlibrary loan" link, the page will not load.

Please let Alejandra or me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Christy

Changes to Guest WiFi and ILL System

Hi All,

The "Tarleton-Guest" WiFi option is no longer available.
Guest users will need to log onto "Tarleton-Visitors" to access the WiFi.

Note that this WiFi account does not allow access to the library's databases.
If guest users need to access the library's resources, they will need to ask for a Guest Pass at the Reference Desk.

Additionally, the ILL system has changed from Illaid to Tipasa, so when users log in, the interface will look different. When helping a user, please make sure that they indicate the correct delivery location on the request form because they will need to select a specific delivery location with each ILL request.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the updates to WiFi or ILL.

Thanks!

History 1301 Assignment: Library Scavenger Hunt

Hi Reference Team!

Students are working on Dr. Hickman's Library Scavenger Hunt assignment again this semester. I believe this assignment is due on February 1st.  

Yvonne received a copy of the assignment and graciously shared it with me to keep at the Reference Desk.

Here is a screenshot of the first page:

This will remain at the Reference Desk until the first week of Feb. 

I have also let Kim Gragg know since one of the tasks the students have to do is fill out an ILL request.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you, Yvonne, for letting me know and obtaining a copy for me! :)

Thanks!

Christy
