Improved eReserve Services Launched
The Reserve section of access services is pleased to introduce new software for processing and delivering eReserve and Reserve materials. While we believe that the new software is faster and easier to use, faculty should notice only minor differences – mainly a change in password log in procedure.
Benefits to faculty:
• Won’t have to provide password/logon information to students – so you don’t have to wait until passwords are issued to finalize a syllabus
• Items can be placed on reserve for a limited time using a time-based system, i.e., if you want sample tests made available to the class from 10/1-...

All Good Things Must Come to An End
Every story comes to an end. I haven’t been posting much at all because life and work have totally trumped blogging. I wish I could have found more time to write about the library-related thoughts that have been swirling around in my head these past few months, but I just didn’t have it in me. For this reason, and another that I shall reveal in a moment, I have decided to end Circ & Serve. I really feel strongly about ending something once it feels like it is over, and really with the lack of new content here, this is over.
The other reason behind this decision: I am very pleased to announce that I ...

Facts about our network neutrality policy proposal
Cross-posted on our Public Policy Blog.
Over the past few days there’s been a lot of discussion surrounding our announcement of a policy proposal on network neutrality we put together with Verizon. On balance, we believe this proposal represents real progress on what has become a very contentious issue, and we think it could help move the network neutrality debate forward constructively.
We don’t expect everyone to agree with every aspect of our proposal, but there has been a number of inaccuracies about it, and we do want to separate fact from fiction.
MYTH: Google has “sold out” on network neutrality.

DishNet and Wild Blue - satellight internet stinks
I just got this “Fair Access Policy” violation from DishNet. They cut us back on our bandwidth based on rolling 30 days of bandwidth use. This is not the first time for us, especially when our college age kids are home. Are these types of limits typical? Can anyone suggest a better provider for satellite internet? We live in the boonies so cable or FIOS or DSL is not available. I can understand limits based on billing cycles but such ones based on a rolling 30 days seem stupid. Am I being unreasonable? The letter is below: Dear DISH Network customer, To ensure that a...

PALCI, a group of academic libraries with a reciprocal lending and borrowing agreement, developed E-ZBorrow in 2004. The resource, which is a self-serve version of interlibrary loan, enables a user to search the library holdings of more ...
