Help during Google Digitization
Just a reminder that the Library Google Digitization project is now underway at the Art, Architecture and Engineering Library. Unfortunately this may cause some inconvenience for your and your students. Here are some tips that can help you out during this process:
1. You can check to see what books are currently being digitized here: http://www.lib.umich.edu/aael/article.php?articleID=291
2. If a book is out for digitization you can recall it by following the steps listed here: http://www.lib.umich.edu/aael/article.php?articleID=87
3. There are many art books available in the Fine Arts Library on Central Campus. Here is a link to their website: http://www.lib.umich.edu/finearts/
4. Library-to-Library deliveries will continue as usual. If a second copy of your book is available elsewhere on campus, use the recall method above to have it delivered to the AAEL.
5. Interlibrary loan service is also available. The average time for ILL delivery is 5-7 days. Information and request forms are here:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/ill/
6. If you are planning an assignment and need particular books that have yet to be digitized, please let me know and we can arrange to have them digitized at a more convenient time.
7. Current journals are not included in the project. These will still be available in the library.
8. As always, if you need help finding materials please let me know and I will help you - ahaines@umich.edu

iGoogle Library Gadget
If you use Google's web portal, iGoogle, you can now add a University of Michigan Library search box to your page. The gadget lets users search Mirlyn, Search Tools, and the library web site as well as provides a link to the Ask Us service. To add this gadget to your iGoogle page (and to learn how to create your iGoogle page if you do not already have one), please visit: http://www.lib.umich.edu/labs/igoogle/
