This will bring up a menu of additional options based on the item you’re looking at, such as:

• Searching for the same subject or title in our Research Databases to find articles.  (While the catalog can tell you what books, videos, and other items we have, it cannot find individual articles on a subject.)
• Looking in online reference resources including encyclopedias
• Finding e-books on the topic
• Connecting to a Library Guide developed by our own librarians for more research ideas.

So, whether you’re planning a spring break vacation or a business trip, this site may be very useful to you.

Access World News: Research Collection: Research current and archived news content for information on topics, events, issues, people, businesses, and more. Easy online access to local, in-state, national and international news sources, including newspapers, broadcast transcripts, newswires, news blogs, web-only and video content.

For comparison, we currently have access to a limited number of newspapers from the same NewBank company that is developing this database.  You may also want to compare this product with EBSCOhost’s Newspaper Source or LexisNexis Academic.

With certain exceptions, social security numbers are no longer a valid ID number for accessing UT library resources. Attempting to authenticate from off-campus or requesting a book using a social security number will result in a message stating that you are not a valid patron. Only Rocket numbers will be accepted. Noted exceptions to this rule will be patrons whose library records were entered into the system manually (for example courtesy card holders and Health Science Campus affiliates). Rocket numbers can be obtained by logging in to My UT Account . Contact Carlson Reference at 419.530.2325 if you need assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Printing Quota

Why is this being instituted?

This is being instituted to reduce the amount of wasteful printing which will have a positive impact on the environment as well as save the University money in printing costs.

Who does this affect?

This affects all students printing in labs in which the printers are being managed by this software. There are signs in each lab that is using this system.

How does the quota printing work?

Students start off with a quota for 1,200 pages per semester.  For each page you print, this will take a page off of your total.  There is software loaded on lab computers that will pop up when you print letting you know how big the print job is as well as how many pages you have left with their quota.  You can then choose to cancel the job or accept it.

What if I made a mistake printing?

You will need to contact the College Computing Offices of the college you are enrolled in to discuss a resolution for the mistake.

What if a printer jams while printing and I have to print it again?

You will need to contact the College Technology Director of the college you are enrolled in to discuss a resolution for the paper jam.   (See below)

If I make a double-sided print, does that count as one print or two?

A double-sided print will count as two pages.

How can I print a PowerPoint presentation in handout view (and make fewer prints)?

When you print slides, there is an option near the bottom of the print dialog box to print the slides in handout view.  Selecting 6 slides per page will result in the fewest printouts.

Who should I talk to if I have questions or concerns?

College Computing Offices of the college you are enrolled in.  (See below)

If I use up my quota, whom should I contact?

For all other inquiries, students can contact the IT Help Desk at:

• Phone:  x2400 on Main or Health Science Campus
• Email:   ITHelpdesk@utoledo.edu
• Online request form accessible here: http://www.utoledo.edu/it/CS/HelpDesk.html
• At Carlson, students can talk to the IT staff at the Help Desk in the back of Information Commons.

The first is the ‘Save Records’ or ‘Save Marked Records’ button.  You can think of this as your ’shopping cart’ at an online store.  When you are looking at an individual item, you can hit Save Record to put in into a temporary list; or, if you are looking at a list of items, click on the checkbox to the right and Save Marked Record (or Save all on Page).  To see the items you’ve marked this session,  click on the View Saved button with the shopping cart icon.  You can e-mail, print, or save these records in a variety of formats.

The other way to save items of interest is more like a Wishlist or Folder function… you can save lists of items to your own individual account so that you can come back to them at any time.  When you check the box next to a item in a list, you’ll have the option to Save to My Lists.  If you’re not logged in to your account, you will be prompted to log in at this point.  You can then either select an existing list to save the item to, or create a new list.  You can have multiple lists to manage different projects.  To see all of your lists, log in to your Library Record and click on the My Lists button at the right.  You can then see click on any item in the list to see details, export the entire list, or remove individual items.

We hope these tools will help you use our catalog better to find and remember good resources for your work or in creating wishlists for books you’d like to read.

Let us know if you have any questions about this function or any other function of our catalog.  You can reach us using any of the contact methods on the Ask a Librarian page.
