Mr. Google

Mr. Google is calling again. The phone may display with a phone number that starts 416-487....
Spend only up to 5 minutes trying to answer his questions.

*PROCEED AS FOLLOWS*:
-Ask for his name and number and say someone will call him back.
-If he refuses to provide the information, say you cannot deal with his question and he should call Margaret Wall at 416-978-1757.
-Don't engage in any further discussion. Say, "excuse me, I will now hang up the phone".
-Fill out an incident report form and give a copy to Vidya who will fax it to Mr. Bill Godoy, Manager - Facilities, Security, Fire, Health & Safety, UofT Libraries.
Doing this will ensure that there is a record of all individual incidents campus wide.

Thank you.

Problems with using EndNote and the UTL Catalogue may be solved with the following information: server: University of Toronto; Server address: 142.150.190.41; Database: Library Catalogue; database name: Unicorn; element set: F ; Port ID: 2200; record syntax: USMARC; text: ANSEL. Problems users encounter may be caused by an old version of endnote pointing to the old version of the catalogue & they must edit their u of t connection file with the information given above.

Users may also need to know that author searching via EndNote in the Catalogue only works well for first authors; to capture 2nd authors, they should do an ANY FIELD search to catch all occurrences of an author name.

Serials repairs (current issues and bound volumes) should now be placed on Marina's desk, OR they can be put on the REPAIR SHELF ( lower shelf across from the Kardex).
