This is a reminder that the libraries’ new E-Journals page is located at http://ejournals.stanford.edu/.
After August 31, attempts to access our old E-Journals page (http://www.tdnet.com/stanford/) will result in a “This Page Cannot Be Displayed” message.
Links throughout the SULAIR web space have already been updated to point to the new E-Journals page, but personal bookmarks and non-SULAIR pages should be updated.
SearchPlus will be discontinued September 23, 2008. Why? Moving to OPPIE means faster searching, facets to narrow search results, and more.
Online Portal for Powerful Information Exchange (OPPIE)
To keep pace with its growing popularity, the total number of simultaneous users for SciFinder Scholar/SciFinder on the web is being increased from 8 to 11 users in September 2008.
In an effort to provide better service to library patrons, the operating hours for the Stanford University Libraries Privileges Desk have changed to match those of Green Library’s Loan Desk. What this means is that Privileges services will now be available on evenings and weekends in addition to regular working hours. See the Stanford Libraries Hours page for specific hours information.
Orientation tours are offered year-round, first Tuesday of the month (11 a.m.–noon) and third Thursday of the month (3–4 p.m.). Individual and group tours are also available by appointment throughout the year. The Swain Library website also features an online tour of the library.
To update their infrastructure, all content on the the Royal Society of Chemistry’s web site will be unavailable on:
Having your students do research?
Need a list of library resources for your students to use?
Want a presentation on how to find information?
Have copyright questions for materials you want in CourseWork?
If yes, please contact me:

Falconer Library is implementing after-hours card access. Access when the library is open will not be affected by this change. Effective Monday, March 10, any physical keys for Falconer’s front door will no longer function. Access will be by use of an authorized Stanford ID only, and only facilities and emergency personnel will have a physical key.
Faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and academic staff are eligible for after-hours access. Orientation tours are required and can be arranged by appointment. For grad students and postdocs outside Biology, Falconer requires an email message from the student’s adviser stating that the student needs 24-hour access to Falconer’s materials. This message should be sent to falconerlibrary@stanford.edu.
Until the Evening Circulation Supervisor position is filled, the Engineering Library will NOT be able to accept fines and clear blocked records for users after 5PM, Monday–Friday. Instead, go to the Circulation Desk at the Green Library to resolve problems.
To help clarify if materials in storage are on-campus or off-campus, the names of the Stanford Auxiliary Libraries have been modified. These naming changes are:
SAL = Stanford Auxiliary Library [SAL1&2]
SAL-NEWARK = Off-campus [Newark]
SAL3 = Off-campus [SAL3]
