ILL down Friday

The ILLiad system will be down this Friday (Nov. 16th) from 8:00am-noon for a server switch. During this time, no one will have access to ILLiad.

How to get emailed updates from this blog

If you would like to get an automatic email whenever there is a new post on this blog follow these instructions:

1. In the new box over to the right of this screen, enter your email address and click the subscribe button.

2. A pop-up window will come up. Enter the letters you see there and click "complete subscription request." (This is a word verification tool that assures the computer that you're either a human, a clever robot, or a erudite monkey, all of which are welcome to subscribe to this blog.)

3. Check your email (whatever one you entered in the box). There should be a message there from "confirmations@emailenfuego.net" with a link to click. Click this link to verify that the email you entered is a live address.

4. That's it. Now you should get an email every time there is an update on this blog. You should ONLY get an email from this service if there is a new post on this blog.

Since folks can choose to sign up for these automatic emails I'll stop emailing you myself when I update the blog. This new feature is new for me, so if you notice anything strange going on with it please let me know. I've subscribed myself so that I can test it also.

Ares training coming up

The course reserve unit is offering training once again on our new electronic system Ares. It has been about five months since they’ve implemented the system. It is markedly different from our old system and additional training sessions are available this fall. Many of you who have used the system will have questions after using the system on the desk.

Please mark your calendar to attend one of the Ares hands-on training session.
No sign-up is necessary.

Training Dates:
Library West Room 211
3:00-4:00PM
Wednesday, December 12th or 19th

If you have questions please contact the Reserves staff at eres@uflib.ufl.edu or call 273-2520
