FW: Mozilla Firefox Web Browser Upgrade - 12:00AM Wednesday September 26th, 2018
by Wei Xuan 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

FYI. Scott confirmed Aurora (Banner) would not work with this version of Firefox. Internet Explorer can be used in this case. Cheers, Wei From: Scott Boyd Sent: September 26, 2018 11:02 AM To: Wei Xuan <Wei.Xuan(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: RE: Mozilla Firefox Web Browser Upgrade - 12:00AM Wednesday September 26th, 2018 Hi Wei, Yes Aurora (banner) will not launch now with this version of Firefox. Firefox has suspended support of any website which uses the Java Run time plugin. The alternative browser to use which still supports the Java plugin is Internet explorer, which is on all computers both for public and staff. On a side note, Lean Library plugin for Firefox now launches with this newly deployed version. -Scott Scott Boyd | Client Support |Client Services |Information Services and Technologies University of Manitoba 135 Machray Hall Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2N2 W: 1.204.474.8400 Scott.Boyd(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Scott.Boyd@umanitoba.ca> Did you know?

To avoid any disruption of service, please restart your workstation prior to leaving the office and leave it at the login screen. This upgrade will disable the use of Legacy Extensions and Add-ons. Because of this, Java based sites such as Banner will no longer work in Firefox; Internet Explorer may be used as a workaround If you require the use of a legacy version of Firefox, please contact the IT Service Desk. Please do not hesitate to contact the Service desk if you have any other questions.

Hi, I would like to remind you that at this moment new students still need to log into signUM and request access to Library in order for their accounts to be created in Alma. It is a known issue to IST. They are working on the direct creation of library accounts but don't have a timeline yet. Hopefully, the fix will be deployed sometime this semester.

FYI: changes to Consumer Health (NJM) patron access to online resources
by Sherri Vokey 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hi everyone, Effective September 4, 2018, consumer health patrons (http://umanitoba.ca/libraries/services/borrow_privilege.html) will no longer have unrestricted internet access. Unlike guest accounts, this (small) user group has had access to online resources beyond university databases, etc., as they have a physical card with a username and password per the Consumer & Patient Health Information Service: http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/chis/librarycard Beginning September 4, they will not have a password associated with their account anymore (and therefore unable to pass the proxy to get to Google, Facebook, etc). There is lots of signage up at the NJM about this already, so this should not come as a surprise. It is very unlikely that you will see these folks in any unit other than the NJM, nor should you expect to see queries come in via chat reference. If anything should arise, though, please don’t hesitate to direct them to us: 789-3342 | healthlibrary(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:healthlibrary@umanitoba.ca> Thanks! Sherri -- Sherri Vokey, M.A., MLIS Head, Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library Associate Librarian, University of Manitoba http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/health 204-789-3864 | sherri.vokey(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:sherri.vokey@umanitoba.ca> ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2396-0413
