Current News

FROM THE MATHEMATICS LIBRARY

New Feature
The Mathematics Library has a new feature on it's web site. We now provide links to monthly lists of new acquisitions. Since it has been awhile since the last list was posted (I think in 1995), we have lists going back as far as November 1996. We are in the process of finishing the April list, but have already finished the May list for this year. I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any suggestions for the improvement of this feature.

Thanks,
Kathi Fountain, Mathematics Library

Library Dial Access Changes
Effective Wednesday, July 16th, changes implemented will affect dial access to the library catalog and related resources. These changes will affect terminal emulation parameters (the user's ability to connect to the system) as well as initial navigation getting to the first selection menu.
Details about the changes.
NOTE: (for the users of Western Illinois Universitiy's library as an alternate source when something is not available on campus) WIU's library will not be accepting requests for the next two weeks. Patrons should choose another library for interlibrary loan.
