MLA AWOL

Hi.  If anyone knows the whereabouts of the MLA Handbook from Ready Ref, please return it to the shelf.  In the meantime, I've grabbed a replacement from stacks to have at the desk. Lots of citation questions as students work to perfect their papers.

MONEY $MART WEEK!!!

It's finally here: the culmination of much planning by GPC Librarians to help our patrons develop this essential literacy.  Angiah Davis worked hard to gather materials from the Federal Reserve, enlist speakers, and develop a collaboration among several offices at GPC to arrange an excellent program.  Please encourage students to take the free booklets and flyers that are scattered around the library. We also need your help to promote the schedule of presentations on Thursday, April 23rd in Room B2100  (second floor or the Student Center). You may even find the presentations helpful for yourself and are welcome to attend as your schedule permits.

10:00-10:05 AM   Welcome

10:05 AM - 12:05 PM "Protecting, Investing, and Saving Workshop" with Chinye Enurah of NY Life

12:05- 1:00 PM  Lunch

1:00-2:00 PM "Student Loans/Financial Aid/ Scholarships" with Carole Jones & Natasha Simpson of GPC Student Financial Services

2:00-3:00 PM "Identity Protection" with Jodel Deshommes of Wells Fargo

Students may drop in when they have time.  Lunch is provided by the Office of Student Life.

New Secure Wireless Access for Students

I found this interesting announcement in the GPC Daily News & Information. No date announced for Dunwoody, but I'm sure students will appreciate having it.

-Margaret

New Secure Wireless Access for Students Starts March 27, 2015.
Students will soon have a choice between using a secure (encrypted) wireless connection and an unsecure connection. Beginning March 27, 2015, students at the Newton campus will have access to enhanced wireless services with other campuses shortly thereafter.

The secure wireless, JagTalk Secure, will require students to configure their personal computer and mobile devices to be able to access. The advantages to secure wireless include encrypted transmission of data, one-time authenticationgood for the lifecycle of a student’s GPC password (no more logging into wireless each time they step on campus or move to a different building) and access to GPC printing services from their personal computer or device.

The unsecure wireless, JagTalk Open, will not require students to configure their personal computer or mobile devices for access. Students who elect to use unsecure wireless will not be able to use GPC printing services from their personal computer or device. It will be up to the student to take appropriate measures to safeguard their data transmissions when using unsecure wireless. Also, use of unsecure wireless will require students to authenticate each time they come to campus.
Changes to Employee Wireless are also underway—more information will be made available for employees at a later date.

Ebooks

There may be some students seeking help with ebooks.  (There's a big reading assignment for a history class.) I assured them they could come to the desk for help, so here's where to look when you need help help: http://guides.gpc.edu/mobile

Basically, to read an e-book online is very easy: just open and read page by page. There is a slight difference between our 2 ebook databases.  Ebooks on Ebscohost (the old NetLibrary) comes to us through GALILEO and so requires a GALILEO login from off campus.  It also allows only one user at a time. Academic Ebooks on Ebscohost is much more liberal with unlimited simultaneous users.  Since we license it directly, it requires the GPC username and password for off-campus use. 

To "checkout" (download) the book, users must create an Ebsco account (free on the database homepage) and install a reader software (varies by device).  Look on Sonya's LibGuide for more help or see the help section from Ebsco at: http://support.ebsco.com/help/index.php?help_id=5542

Good luck with this.  If you want a live demo sometime, we can arrange that.

Please Use Ref Desk Printer

The library got a new printer at Circulation last November, which has already been used to print 3000 pages. The cartridges are pretty expensive, so we want to conserve them as much as possible, with circulation functions as the priority use.

Therefore, please use the ref desk printer whenever you print. That means that you'll need to change the printer selection, since the circ printer is the default on both ref desk computers for most of our profiles. Many of us already make the switch, with only an occasional oops when we forget. 

Thanks so much for your cooperation on this.
