Borrowing from “Library Partners”

From Gen Gore:

We are currently in the process of drafting information for the website about borrowing from “Library Partners” (currently the Presbyterian College, Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, Neuro-Patient Resource Centre and Jewish General Hospital libraries; only the first two are completely live).

Please be very careful when telling students about borrowing from partner libraries, and particularly when talking about the Jewish General Hospital libraries. Only students or residents who are currently on rotation at the Jewish General Hospital can borrow from the JGH libraries. A couple of students were told they could borrow from the JGH, and I think we can all imagine the disappointment they felt when they trekked all the way out there only to discover they could not borrow from them. The safest approach is to have the students contact the partner libraries directly. Their contact information is available on the web.

Questions about e-Scholarship

Hi All,

Although all graduates of McGill sign a waiver giving us the right to display their thesis in e-Scholarship, many do not read the waiver.

If we receive questions about or correspondence regarding requests to remove e-Theses we should forward such requests to C.Dean Barnes (colin.dean.barnes @ mcgill.ca) in the GPSO (Graduate & Post-graduate Studies Office)

Thanks and regards,
Lonnie

guest account log-ins

From Louise O'Neill:

Recently there have been problems with guest/guest login on public pc’s not allowing access to the library’s e-resources. This was not due to any change in library policy but rather because of a technical issue with the images. It was reported to ICS as soon as the problem was recognized, and as of this morning, ICS has put a fix in place. A slight change to the guest/guest log-in was necessary and it appears on the screen [of the public computers].

An earlier fix from ICS resolved the problem on most PCs but not all of them as we were originally informed. ICS says that they have tested this latest change thoroughly and that all machines that offer guest/guest access should reflect the change. If you should notice that is not the case please contact Frank Kuziomko

This fix is temporary. We have asked ICS to completely re-image all of the public PCs once the semester is over, but only after testing the images first in their lab and then field testing on a small number of library PCs. I will meet with them regularly to monitor the process.
