Fall Faculty/Staff Workshops -- September 5

Introduction to Business Databases
Librarian: Christine Adams
When: 1:00-2:00 p.m.
Where: Maag Instruction Room, 4th Floor

It is more important than ever for graduates from the School of Business to be able to find information on stocks, company histories, and industry trends. In this workshop, our business librarian will guide you through databases such as S&P, Valuelline, MediaMark, and Business Source Complete, showing you how to search these valuable databases for the information you and your students needs.


Introduction to Instant Messaging
Librarian: Cynthia Harrison
When: 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Where: Maag Instruction Room, 4th Floor

Not up to "texting" or instant messaging yet? Does the idea of getting an instant response to your question seem time saving? If so, Intro to Instant Messaging is probably for you. Learn how to create an instant message account--if you don't have one already--and how to use it to converse in real time with a librarian. Instances where instant messaging would be the best tool for you will be highlighted as will the scheduled hours of service for Fall Semester.

Patron Account Problems

Recently we have been getting a number of questions from faculty and students about problems related to their library accounts. Often problems show up when the individual tries to log into OhioLINK and they get a message that says that the request to log in was denied.

Every year Maag Library imports its patron information from other authoritative YSU computer systems. This is, for example, how we know who is registered and thus who can use our services. For students, we previously imported the data from M204. This year is a bit different since we are now importing data from Banner for the first time. Every import from another system has differences that have to be discovered and corrected. Errors in this Banner import are often the source of the problems we are now observing.

If you are having trouble with your account, please call Maag Circulation at 330-941-3678 and we will work to resolve your problem.
