Welcome back! and New Web Pages

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a restful summer with plenty non-school and/or work-related activities. Mine went by too quickly!

Our webpages changed over the summer - actually they just went live at the end of August. Here's where some of the more familiar pages have moved to:

Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, Journal of Planning Literature, Web of Science and other research databases:

  • Online Resources tab --> Social Sciences or Science & Engineering (left-hand side) --> subject of choice
    or
  • Online Resources tab --> All Resources A-Z
    or
  • (new!) search several databases at once: Online Resources tab --> choose subject from the drop-down menu and enter your search
Catalogue
It's now front and centre on the home page. If you use the search on the new Books tab, it will actually be looking through our catalogue, WorldCat, ebrary and a couple of other e-book resources.

Document Delivery / Interlibrary Loan
The quickest is to use the Quick Links drop-down menu on the left.

Book a workroom
Same as above.

If you see any dead links or stuff that needs to be fixed, let Marilyn or me know. Contact us if there's anything else you can't find.

New Pickup Location for Interlibrary Loan Materials

Beginning on Monday, September 8, all interlibrary loans in the MacKimmie Library will be available for pick up at the MacKimmie Library Circulation Desk on the first floor. This change extends the hours during which interlibrary loans can be picked up to all hours that the MacKimmie Circulation Desk is open. (See Circulation Desk Hours:
http://library.ucalgary.ca/mackimmie-library-
circulation-department
)

If library users have questions about the status of interlibrary loans, they should continue to phone 403-220-5967 or come to the Document Delivery Services Office on the 2nd floor of the Library Tower (MLT 213) to consult with DDS Staff. Their hours are 9AM to 4:30PM, Monday through Friday.

ILL book returns can be returned to either the MacKimmie Circulation Desk on the first floor or to the Document Delivery Services book drop on the second floor of the Library Tower.
