Library H3lp New Web-Client Training
by Bill Poluha 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hello Everyone, Library H3lp launched a new web-client earlier this year and many of you are already using it. The old web-client will discontinue at the end of this year. I encourage everyone who has not yet used the new web-client to become familiar with it. Here is the link to the new web-client: https://us.libraryh3lp.com/webclient/#/client Training resources for the client are available at: http://docs.libraryh3lp.com/clients-web If you require further training on the new web-client, let me know and I will organize training sessions. Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Regards, Bill VR Coordinator Bill Poluha | Librarian, Sciences and Technology Library | University of Manitoba | 204.293.5635 Liaison for: Astronomy<http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/astronomy>, Physics<http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/physics>, Math<http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/mathematics> and Statistics<http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/statisticsscitech>

Switch a shift in September?
by Thomas Quinlan 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Hello all, I'm scheduled to man the VR desk on September 22nd from 11am-12pm, but I've booked a vacation day and won't be able to work that shift. Is there anyone who could trade shifts with me? I won't be able to work a shift on September 18th, 21st, 22nd, or 29th, but any other days are open. Thanks!

One Stop Search log in problems
by Emma Hill Kepron 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

It has been reported that some users are not getting past the "guest" stage in One Stop Search even after they have logged in. It seems a persistent problem for some people and intermittent for others. I believe this is a browser issue and not Alma or Iridium. I have a support case in and will report back when the issue is resolved. In the meantime if a patron needs to renew or request items you can do it on their behalf in Alma.

Up to Date log ins

Hello all, FYI: As per our licensing agreement with UpToDate all users, regardless of their location, are required to log in. Until today users at public workstations in libraries had been able to get in without logging in, but we have locked that down now.
