Accreditation Visit

In preparation for the accreditation visit next week, you may want to review our self study. The relevant section deals with Standard IIC, Student Learning Programs and Services.  

The accreditation team will have with them the Guide to Evaluating Institutions, which includes the standards and a set of critical questions to answer about each. These questions provide a useful tool for the team to make sure each standard is appropriately addressed.  The critical questions for Standard IIC are on pages 31-37.

Questions or concerns? Please contact me! I want to know!

LIB736 / PSYC Students

If a student adds Dr. Oler's Psyc class after the class was set up they need to be added manually.

If one of Dr. Oler's students comes in asking why they cannot access LIB736, get their name and G00 number and section or day/time they meet and send me an email with the information. I will verify that they are in the class and get them added to the class.

Thanks

Changes To The Library Homepage

Please take a look at the new homepage. The look is not permanent because we will be reworking the entire thing soon. We started with adding a tabbed box featuring Gavilan OneSearch. Please dive in and put OneSearch through its paces!

Also let me know if there is anything you think we need to add to the box.

DietAnalysisPlus FAQ

Good Morning:

Periodically we get questions about the DietAnalysis project for AH11. Here are some of the most common questions...

1) Where is the software available?

     Students can purchase online access/subscription access and can use it anywhere they can get online. Students can also access it for free here in the library on several laptops that still run Windows XP.

2) How can I save reports as a pdf?

     You don't actually save the documents as a pdf, you 'print' them to a virtual printer (primopdf) which creates the pdf file. If a student wants a physical printout they print the file to the laptop printer as usual.

3) How do I use Primopdf to create the pdf files?

    Here is a link to a basic set of instructions.

4) How do I upload my reports to my instructor?
    Most of the time if we get asked this it is because the student is trying to upload the files in the wrong place. Assignment 1 is listed in the class shell (iLearn) in two different ways.

The first listing is the word document with the assignment details. Students cannot upload files into a word document. This is the word document icon.

The second listing is the actual 'iLearn' assignment where the student can upload the files. Here is the assignment icon.

Please let me know if I have missed a question that comes up for this program, or if you have any questions.

What is Where ... update

I figured it was time for a What is Where update about the student computers. There have been several changes due to the new student computers installed last spring.

• Diet Analysis (+pdf printer) -- Laptops with Windows XP
• Final Draft -- LIB006 (being added soon)
• Gaspar (Spanish language program) -- Available as a download to Spanish language students from iLearn
• Kurzweil (oral reader for online resources) and other accessibility programs -- LIB006-LIB007, LIB017
• Photoshop elements -- LIB 016 - LIB017

We will be updating and adding programs during Spring Break 2013.

Please let me know if you have any questions or additions
