15 Dec '11

Hi folks, We're getting lots of questions about renewals on virtual reference. In case you missed it on lib-all, here's Pat's info on what's happening: From: lib-all-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:lib-all-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of Pat Nicholls Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 10:38 AM To: lib-all(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: Renewing items due December 15, 2011 I have posted a message on the "My Library Account" page to tell patrons to wait until December 16th to renew any items due today. My apologies for not thinking of doing this sooner and thank you to Stella Rebling for the suggestion. I know there have been many questions about this. I have also made myself a note to remove the message in a couple of days and to do this again early in April.

VR tip - transparent pixel links
by Janet Rothney 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi all, Some of you may already know this, but I wanted to pass on a little tip I learned during my last VR shift. I had two patrons who were having trouble accessing articles through GetIt@UML; they were getting this link instead of the full text of the articles - http://sfxhosted.exlibrisgroup.com.proxy2.lib.umanitoba.ca/umanitoba/img/aj… The lovely Jen Funk informed me that this URL (both of my patrons asked about the "transparent pixel link") means that the patron has too many windows open with GetIt@UML info. If they close some and try again everything should be fine. Hope that helps, Janet Janet Rothney Dentistry Librarian Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library University of Manitoba 789-3656 Janet_Rothney(a)umanitoba.ca http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/health/
