Welcome back!

With Spring Break behind us, conference work will be quickly upon us. Sign up for a research consultation with a member of the reference staff here. We can help you get kick-started for the end of the semester, or help solve that last little research problem that plagued you all break!

Library closed on Saturday, March 29th.

Please note that due to the end of the college's Spring Break, the library will be closed on Saturday, March 29th. Regular hours will resume on Sunday, March 30th.

Enjoy your weekend!

WDI access issues resolved!

For anyone experiencing difficulties yesterday with the World Development Indicators Online database (WDI), please note that full service has been restored. The interface may look slightly different, as the provider has updated content and site navigability, so it may take a little getting used to.

If you have any questions about how to use the WDI database, please contact a reference librarian for assistance at x2225 or by clicking here.

World Development Indicators Online access issues.

For any of our researchers using the WDI (World Development Indicators Online), please be aware that access through our list of databases page has encountered a temporary problem.

In the meantime, please access this database through the library's catalog. You can look up the record by going into a basic search, and then searching for "WDI." The correct link is in the catalog record.

Interlibrary Loan forms are working!

After a brief pause, the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) forms are once again functional. Please resume using these forms to submit ILL requests. We apologize for the disruption.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) online forms not working.

Some of you may have noticed that the Interlibrary Loan forms on the library's homepage are not working at the moment. This is due to a server migration and we are working to fix the problem.

In the meantime, if you have an ILL request, please send Geoff Danisher an email at gdanishe@slc.edu. He will need to know the following information:

*Journal Title
*Volume and issue numbers, and the publication date
*Article Title
*Article author name
*Page on which the article starts.

The more information you have, the better!

You still have time!

Spring break is fast upon us, and the reference staff knows you'll want to be larded down with full-text articles and interlibrary loan books wherever your travels may take you. Schedule a one-on-one consultation with Carrie, Carl, or Emily to jump start your research. Request a consultation using the handy link located here.
