Hello,
A link to Virtual Reference is being added to the Get It@UML menu to address the volume of requests for assistance using our e-resources.
This is a pilot project beginning in January 2015 with Virtual Reference staff helping patrons with e-resources and referring technical problems to Technical Services staff.
The presentation will cover a decision-tree and common e-resource issues as well as any questions you may have about this transition.
