| Comments (0)Many members of the Ross community access the University of Michigan Library website through the Kresge Library site. If you click through today, you'll see something different.
Late this morning, the University Library launched a new website and Mirlyn catalog. The new site makes it easier to search across resource types and topics, including Search Tools, catalog materials, ejournals and Deep Blue. These and other new features are shown in the new site tour.
If you have any questions or comments about the new University Library website, you may submit them through the Library's feedback form.
| Comments (0)Ross Computer Services is currently engaged in updating wireless access points around Kresge Library. Old access points will be replaced one at a time on the 2nd and 3rd floors, while access points on the west side of the 4th floor will be down slightly longer.
Wireless will still be available throughout the 2nd and 3rd floors, as well as on the east side of the 4th floor, until the new access points are complete. We apologize for any access issues this process may cause, but we look forward to having a robust wireless network ready for the busy fall semester.
| Comments (0)Before we started the Kresge Library Wiki, recommendations about what library resources to use were organized in the By Topic section of the Kresge Library website. Today, those old, out-of-date pages are going to go away, and will be replaced entirely by the wiki.
Since Kresge Librarians started working on the wiki, it's quickly become the most actively updated part of our website, and one of the most popular sections. It's accessible to all our librarians to edit, and so we can quickly adapt its content to our users' needs. We've already created pages tailored to courses, MAP teams, and other projects, as well as pages that organize recommended resources according to research topic.
Check out the Kresge Library Wiki for your own project. If you don't find the information you're looking for, contact us, and we'll probably add the resources we discuss with you.
