Plan Accordingly: Springboard will be down on Sunday

From Information Technology Services:

"Springboard, Exchange will be offline Sunday, March 13
On Sunday, March 13, from 1 to 9 p.m., Information Technology Services will perform an upgrade on one of UA's main storage systems. To perform this upgrade, some popular resources will be offline: Exchange, Springboard, Zipspace, Videomedia, departmental file (such as your H: drive) and printing.
This upgrade will enable us to keep up with the growing demands for storage space for things like online course content, streaming video content and providing new Web services."

Please keep in mind that this will reduce the time the library workshops are available to students before the deadline.  The deadline for all quizzes is Wednesday, March 16, 2011.

Problems Accessing Ebsco Databases from Home

We're continuing to experience problems access Ebsco databases off-campus this morning.  This includes Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, Communication and Mass Media Complete, and many others.

One work-around is to access these databases remotely via OhioLINK authentication.  Go to:
http://www.ohiolink.edu/resources/dblist.php?by=alpha&search=ahttp://www.ohiolink.edu/resources/dblist.php?by=alpha&search=a

Locate your database by name, then click on the "Off-Campus URL."  You will be prompted to select your school,  and enter your name and barcode.  Remember to enter your barcode (you can leave off the leading zeros) rather than your UAnet ID.

Have any questions?  Contact the library staff.  We'd be happy to help!

Library Workshop Deadline Is Just Around the Corner

If your instructors have required you to complete the library workshops:

Please be sure to complete all library workshop/ tutorial content, including all quizzes and retakes by Wednesday, March 16th.

No extensions will be granted this semester, so please be sure to allow plenty of time to complete your quizzes.

The library staff requires three days to grade your tests, so this also impacts how much time you might need to complete any retakes.
