<br />
Starting August 22nd, you will see a new option in the library home page side bar which says "Get Research Help!"<br />
<br />
During regular business hours, you can type your name and question into the box, and click "Chat!" to receive live help from one of our reference librarians.<br />
<br />
Even when we're not available, this box will allow you to ask any questions you may have online, quickly and easily, and to see a list of common answers--or to get an individual answer if the question you have has never been asked before.<br />
<br />
In the next week or so, we will also be rolling out a tool which will allow students to check out study rooms through the library's website.<br />
<br />
We hope these new resources are as helpful to our users as they are exciting to us, and ask that you please pardon any hiccups as we transition to this new stage in our quest to make library patrons' use of our materials easier and easier.CSUDH Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362771104025070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215870374423723504.post-90476587449970944082013-05-15T09:15:00.001-07:002013-05-15T09:36:31.226-07:00Saturday Hours, Graduation, Follow Us!The Library will be closed on the last two Saturdays in May, 5/18 and 5/25.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Last week a few librarians attended the iPad learning
session, IPAD Basics and Course Application, hosted by the CSUDH Faculty
Development Center along with Title V and Instructional Technology. The session
was quite informative as we learned how to make a movie using the iMovie app
and link our iPad screens to classroom laptops so the tablet screen can be displayed
on class projectors (Doceri and Reflector apps). Other apps presented, or shared by attendees,
included Notability, Good Reader, and CloudOn, along with those that keep track
of our ever growing collection of online resources and documents such as
Evernote or Dropbox. These apps allow students
and professors to easily integrate iPad features into course presentations or
Blackboard posts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
iPads and other tablets are increasingly becoming more
visible here at the University Library.
Students often have them out on desktops as they also work on their laptops
or Library PCs. Not only are tablets
out, but smartphones are plugged in and calculators are visible. As tablets become more common students will quickly
discover the use and relevance of the many apps available. To stay abreast of the literature on using
iPads in the academic environment, be sure to search our Library databases for
recent journal articles. Use the
Articles & E-Resources tab at the top of the search box on the Library homepage,
inputting keywords such as iPad, teaching, faculty, or student to quickly get
to relevant articles. The <a href="http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/08/teaching-with-tablets/" target="_blank">infographic</a> shown below provides an interesting synopsis on today's use of tablets. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As students continue to interact with mobile and digital
technology the University Library is working to expand access to digital
materials. Through the Affordable
Learning Initiative of the Chancellor’s Office, the Library now has access to
more than 150,000 <a href="http://csudhlibrary.blogspot.com/2012/11/ebooks-expand-our-collection-by-150000.html" target="_blank">eBooks</a> accessible through EBSCOhost, Safari Books Online,
and ebrary. Many of these books are used as textbooks. Students can not only read these materials on their desktop or laptop, but many can be downloaded
to an iPad and a number of dedicated e-readers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And, to allow students to explore the many possibilities inherent
in the applications of an iPad, the Library now loans out 30 iPad 2s for
student use. More information on the
checkout program can be found <a href="http://library.csudh.edu/services/TCP/loans.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
Please feel free to post your comments on which iPad apps you find useful! Let's start a conversation about what is working for you!<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Librarians have noticed that studious TOROS are well into their search for scholarly resources for course assignments. Other than the friendly, personalized assistance you can find by speaking
with a reference librarian, there are a number of available online research
guides that can help TOROS easily navigate the research process. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guides have been developed by CSUDH librarians over the years
and are either general subject guides or are specific to course sections. Guides cover a variety of topics including - </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>how to find a book in the library catalog </li>
<li>how to find scholarly articles </li>
<li>how to evaluate web sites </li>
<li>understanding plagiarism and citing sources, and</li>
<li>tips and techniques for database
searching. </li>
</ul>
Feel free to take a look at a
number of different guides to find the information you need. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

with longer hours for the Winter and Spring sessions. Starting January 22, 2013 the library will
remain open until <b>11:00 pm</b> Monday through Thursday. The 5:00 closing time will stay the same for
Fridays and Saturdays. We encourage you
to take advantage of this extra time to get research papers and homework
assignments completed during the quiet evening and night time hours. The first three weeks in January the Library will keep daytime hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday with a 9 am opening on Saturdays. The Library is closed on Sundays and will be closed on Monday, the 21st in honor of the<a href="http://mlk-kpp01.stanford.edu/index.php/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/enc_martin_luther_king_jr_biography/" target="_blank"><b> Martin Luther King </b></a>holiday.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Library Computer Commons is seeing extremely high usage
these days as Toros commit to completing final projects and papers, and gear up
for final exams. In the midst of all
this activity, class instruction sessions are scheduled, printers crash, and
the lost and found continues to collect items.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even this late in the semester professors continue to request
instruction sessions in research strategies and library services for their
classes. <b>Upcoming sessions, held in the
computer labs, will close one lab on Thursday, Nov. 29th from 8:00 am until
11:30 am and then again from 3:45 pm until 5:30 pm</b>. You can keep abreast of any additional
closures on our Twitter feed, <a href="https://twitter.com/CSUDHLib">@CSUDHLib</a>, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CSUDHLibrary">Facebook</a> and Google+ pages at CSU
Dominguez Hills Library. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the labs are closed, check for available desktop
computers on the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor of Library South, the 1<sup>st</sup>
floor of Library North in the Instructional Media Center and, of course, on the
ground floor of Welch Hall, room 160.
You may also borrow laptops or iPads from the Laptop Loan Office. The Laptop Loan Office, located on the 3<sup>rd</sup>
floor of Library South behind the elevators, serves current students in good
standing and requires <a href="http://bit.ly/Qqj2Nx">registration</a> to participate in the loan program. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the increase in printing, printers occasionally jam or
experience coin confusion. Librarians
and Library Services Specialists, located at the Information/Reference Desk, can
handle most print issues and call upon Information Technology Specialists to
assist when needed. See the staff in the
Laptop Loan Office to rectify issues with the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor printer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our lost and found collection is bulging with flash drives, glasses,
clothing, keys, and more. Stop by the
Information/Reference Desk with your campus ID to check for and retrieve lost
items. And, make sure to grab all your
belongings before leaving the Library.
Found items are turned over to campus police on a monthly basis. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember to <span style="color: red;"><b>keep calm, carry on</b></span>, and give yourself extra
time for study and library activities as we move towards finals week. <span style="color: red;"><b> Go Toros!</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
You may have noticed a large number of ebooks appearing on
the results screen when you search the Library catalog for books. The Library is building its online collection
through ebrary, Safari Books Online, and EBSCO e-books and currently has more
than 150,000 titles available! Students
and faculty like the convenience and immediate access to these books which are accessible
24/7 from your computer, laptop, and mobile devices. Recently, one book had 1,112 hits with 45,
818 pages viewed! Students are not only
taking advantage of this new resource as a research tool, but also are finding
that the features inherent with online resources are very helpful for
completing assignments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ebooks are quite easy to use. When you search the Library catalog on a topic,
the results screen will show ebooks along with print books that we hold in our
collection. Click on the title of the
‘electronic resource’ to see detailed catalog information about the book and to
find the link to open the ebook. If you
click on the ‘This title has an electronic version’ hyperlink the ebrary book
will open while the EBSCO record will open for an EBSCO ebook, and the table of
contents will display for Safari Books Online.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ebrary</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All ebrary books can be read on any device that can access
an internet browser including smart phones and tablets. You also have the choice of using a mobile
app for iOS or Android based systems. Once
you open the online book you can turn pages with the forward/back arrows, jump
to particular sections by clicking on a link on the table of contents, search
the text for specific terms, copy, and print.
If you create an ebrary account (using the sign-in link at the right top
on the menu bar) you have the ability to highlight text, take notes and
“check-out” the book by downloading specific chapters or the whole book. You also have the ability to save the link to
the book, complete with your highlights and notes, on your personal
bookshelf. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>EBSCO ebooks</b><u><o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the EBSCO ebook detailed record screen opens you have
the option to read the book online through the eBook Full Text option or
download the book to read it offline on your computer or other electronic
device. Reading it offline will require you
to create an EBSCO user account (see the Sign In tab on the top right menu bar)
and download and use Adobe Digital Editions.
Once you have downloaded the book you can keep notes and get direct
access to the <i>Oxford American College
Dictionary</i>. EBSCO ebooks also can be
accessed on smart phones and tablets.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Safari Online Books</b><u><o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Safari books are primarily related to technology subject
areas. When you open the link to a
Safari Online Book, the table of contents will appear as hyperlinks to the
text. You can also choose to read an
overview of the book or search within the book.
Clicking on the ‘Start Reading’ icon will open the ebook and you will
have the option to read it in HTML format or as it was printed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the event that an ebook does not open, it is most likely
in use by another party. Just as we
check out print books for a single user, ebooks that are downloaded are also
checked out for a period of time thus making them unavailable to others until
they are “returned.” Don’t get
frustrated, but continue to check the title as, often, the book is available
within a few hours or a few days. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don't be afraid to try these great online resources for your assignments, or encourage your professors to use them instead of costly textbooks, and
let us know what you think! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Obama. Romney. Who
are these guys? What’s Proposition 30?
How come the Electoral College overrides the popular vote?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the process of voting can be pretty simple, the time
and preparation needed to understand the process and cast a responsible vote can
be quite daunting. Reference Librarian
Vivian Linderman has put together an online <a href="http://library.csudh.edu/materials/ViewGuide.php?id=300">Election Guide</a> to help you
understand and navigate through Campaign 2012.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guide includes numerous links to online resources related
to voting and the election process, the candidates, the issues, and the
California propositions. You also will
find links to information on the upcoming presidential debates, fact checkers
(Pants on Fire!) and how to track the Red State / Blue State Electoral College
votes. As an added bonus, she’s added some fun sites
to enjoy the antics of popular comedians, political spoofs, and cartoons. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <i>Guide</i> serves
as a comprehensive directory of the growing Archival Collections held by
CSUDH. The <i>Guide</i> includes short descriptions of the 215 current collections
with links to the Online Archive of California (OAC) finding aids and numerous
illustrations. In addition, the <i>Guide</i> includes information on the history
of the Archives and archival collecting initiatives, materials on how to use the
collections, and topics to research within the collection.<o:p></o:p></div>

A large segment of material focuses on the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, but there is also material on Japanese Americans before and after the War. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 100%; ">Consisting of photographs, yearbooks, artwork, letters, leases, the exhibition focuses on the lives and obstacles faced by Japanese Americans in the South Bay and Los Angeles prior, during and after World War II. Topics include the location of some Japanese American tenant farmer families on Dominguez/Rancho San Pedro lands before World War II and the removal of those families after Pearl Harbor; the mass evacuation of citizens and incarceration in concentration camps such as Manzanar and Granada, Colorado; letters from various Japanese Americans searching for jobs and places to live after the camps were closed. Several of the recently-rescued Ninomiya Studio photographs show Japanese American life in the 1950s. In addition the exhibition features artwork of Mary Higuchi, Henry Fukahara and H. Takata as well as a scale model of a camp barracks made by former Torrance resident Min Sueda.</span></p>CSUDH Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362771104025070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215870374423723504.post-30506059432502099322012-01-23T09:01:00.000-08:002012-01-23T09:02:26.305-08:00New Library Home PageThe University Library has a new home page. Here are the biggest changes, to help you orient yourself.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tabbed Search Box</span> – We've made it easier to start your research. You can now search the library's catalog and website, as well as Google Scholar and other resources, from one centralized location. Just click the relevant tab to access the different search bars.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cleaner Layout</span> – We've streamlined the website, removing unnecessary design aspects until all that's left is what needs to be there: the content you need to help you with your research. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">More Links</span> – Although our design is minimalist, we've increased the amount of information on the home page. You can now access more pages with one click, reducing the amount of time spent trying to find what you need.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dropdown Menu</span> – We've added a dropdown menu to the home page with direct links to important and frequently visited pages. It's now easier to find department web pages, information on the library, and research materials.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Easier to Understand</span> – We've tried to remove some of the library jargon from our web page, so that our links are more intuitive and easier to understand.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Social Media Links</span> – The library is now on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. We've added links to these social media services at the top of our home page, so you can easily keep abreast of library news, announcements, and other information in realtime.CSUDH Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362771104025070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215870374423723504.post-22779357908409277282012-01-20T13:58:00.000-08:002012-01-20T14:18:57.620-08:00Spring Semester HoursThe University Library will observe the following hours during the spring semester.<br /><br />Monday through Thursday - 8AM to 8PM<br />Friday - 8AM to 5PM<br />Saturday - 10AM to 5PM<br />Sunday - CLOSED<br /><br />Please note the following special dates:<br />February 20 - CLOSED<br />March 26 - March 31st - CLOSED<br />May 28 - CLOSED<br /><br />These hours may be subject to change.
