Scheduled Network Outage in Annex I
The Division of Information Technology has announced that there will be a network outage starting at 10pm this Saturday, January 30th, and possibly lasting until 6am on Sunday, January 31st. The outage is necessary in order to install a redundant network core switch. The actual network service downtime is not anticipated to exceed 2 hours although the outages may occur intermittently throughout the period scheduled.
During the outage there will be no access to the Library Catalog, databases, eReserves, the Library Website or to other websites and web services, such as email.
Once the upgrade is complete there will be no impact to users and users will not need to make any changes to their computers.

We’re Going Mobile
At the beginning of the Spring semester, you’ll be able to use any web-enabled phone to view Library hours; get instant message research assistance; find info on study space, computers and printing; and locate Library phone numbers and email addresses.
By the end of the semester, you should be able to find and request books, search for articles, and, perhaps, read eBooks on your phone.
Useful?
Let us know what you think.

Books not Retrieved Thanksgiving Week
Request books for next week now.
The Library will not be paging materials during Thanksgiving week when the campus is closed. Beginning Monday, November 30, items requested during Thanksgiving week will be filled in the order they were received.
Because there will be a backlog of requests, turn around time may be more than 24 hours.

One Laptop per Child Lending Library
The Library is now lending One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Laptops, the cutest little laptops on the planet!
If you’re not familiar with the OLPC project, this excerpt from their mission statement provides some background:
“Mission Statement: To create educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.”
The XO laptops, as they are called, run open source software designed for children.
The OLPC Lending Library is a collaboration between the OLPC-San Francisco Bay Area Group and Leonard Library. Students can checkout an XO laptop from Library Media Services, HSS 127, for 48 hours, while staff and faculty can get one for 2 weeks.
