Gerstein & Information Commons Support Changes

All staff,

The Information Commons (IC) Support for public workstations & printers and instruction labs is being consolidated in Robarts under the direction of Mark Leighton as of next Monday, March 15th.

Contact with IC regarding public equipment will be handled very similarly to current practice. That is, with the assistance of all staff, Jeff will continue to be informed about any problems with public equipment. Jeff will also continue as Gerstein's contact with the IC support team, reporting equipment problems via their new OneStop service (416-978-0429 or email icicle.support@utoronto.ca ).

If there are minor equipment problems and Jeff is unavailable, please email or voicemail Jeff.

If there are major equipment problems and Jeff is unavailable, please call the IC support team at 416-978-0429 and then email/voicemail Jeff about the issue.

Zotero now enabled for our catalogue

A quick note to let you know that the new catalogue interface is now zotero-enabled, with thanks to Bilal Khalid and Ken Yang in the Information Technology Services department for their work in making this possible.

For the metadata-inclined, we are using unapi with RIS format for the zotero data import currently, as it was the most expedient method for making this useful service available. This is roughly equivalent to the catalogue data we export to RefWorks. As time permits, we'll be switching to unapi with MODs, as it allows us to make a richer view of our catalogue records available to zotero.
