What’s new in the Library?
We have a spiffy new space which we hope will meet your computing and study needs.
Check out the area, move the chairs and tables to your liking, and let us know what you
think. Aside from the new facelift on the 1st floor, we’ve also been busy implementing
new technologies and systems for you to use.
Single Sign-on (SSO) - Wouldn’t it be dreamy if you only
had to login to Library Services such as Reserves, Interlibrary
loan, the catalog and off-campus access to our electronic
journals and databases just once during your research session.
Now you can. Single Sign-on remembers your credentials
(i.e. D2L username and password) for as long as you have a
browser open. No more logging in multiple times to submit
an Interlibrary loan request.
The simplest way to use Single-Sign-On is to avoid Logout
until you are done with Library applications. This can be
done by using multiple tabs in your Web browser. Remember, to completely protect
your privacy, you must Logout AND Exit the browser.
New Electronic Reserves System - MSU Library has a new electronic reserves system.
It is quick and easy to use. Just login, search for your class and you’re ready to go.
Fun New Technology Gadgets
KIC - Located on the 1st floor near the stairs, this scanner is easy and intuitive
to use. Scan your document, decide your file type (PDF, JPG, RTF), and
method of delivering the document (printing, emailing or
saving to a flash drive). It is faster and cheaper than
photocopying and produces better images.
IRover - Your portable classroom. You can
move this computer, projector, and screen
anywhere on the 1st floor. All you need is a power outlet and
network connection if you want to use the internet. It includes all
of the software that is found on library computers.
Library Workshops
Here’s the first round of Library Workshop for the Fall semester. All sessions will
be held in the Library Classroom located in the basement. These are free
workshops. You can register at http://www.lib.montana.edu/instruction/
