29 July 2010 update: We still do not have any details of when the shifting/reshelving materials will begin.
On Thursday, July 22, the Mulford Library will be noisy because of removal of shelving from the fifth floor side rooms and the sixth floor south (the study loft side). Plans are that this will happen in the morning, hopefully to be completed by noon.
Running through the next couple of weeks, it may be noisy because of shifting and reshelving materials (though we will try to be as quiet as we can).
We apologize for any inconvenience!
The new academic year is right around the corner! If you are planning to put materials on reserve at the Mulford Library, please submit your requests sooner rather than later. If you are asking for library-owned material to be placed on reserve, this will give us time to recall the items (if they are checked out). If you are asking for your own materials to be placed on reserve, this will give us time to process them. Please complete one form for each course (http://www.utoledo.edu/library/mulford/pdf/newres.pdf) and follow the instructions on the form. [UPDATE: A Word version of the form is now available for you to complete and save: http://www.utoledo.edu/library/mulford/pdf/newformmulford.doc]
You may also want to check the lists of items that you may already have on reserve: http://utmost.cl.utoledo.edu/search/r

As of July 23, 2010, PD/PIs will be unable to enter citations manually into eRA Commons and must use My NCBI’s “My Bibliography” tool to manage their professional bibliographies.
In the interest of easing investigators’ bibliography management, improving data quality, and ensuring compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/), eRA Commons has partnered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) to link NCBI’s personal online tool, “My NCBI,” to Commons.
My NCBI offers an online portal—“My Bibliography”(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/)—for users to maintain and manage a list of all types of their authored works, such as articles, presentations and books. [See entire press release at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-103.html)
You can also see the National Library of Medicine tutorial “Using My Bibliography to Manage Compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy” http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/dist_edu.html for more details.
