Alert: Catalog problems

There are some problems at the company that hosts our library catalog this morning (Friday 2/19).  As a result, the catalog may not function properly until the problems are resolved.  You can use the Reed-only catalog to search Reed’s collection until the problems are fixed.  We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Happy Data Privacy Day!

January 28th is Data Privacy Day!  The day is designed to foster dialogue about how advanced technologies affect privacy in our daily lives.  Lots of privacy events are happening around the country.  I’ll be interested to watch the archived webcast of the Federal Trade Commission’s Privacy Roundtable at Berkeley.

How will I be celebrating Data Privacy Day?  I’m finally going to take the time to have a good look at my Facebook privacy settings.

New Version of EndNote & Date Issues with Version X2

Version X3 of EndNote is available for download from downloads.reed.edu.

Current X2 users may find that items with a publication date of 2010 or later will not import the year data. When this occurs, the year must be added manually (see Support FAQs  for more details).

Both EndNote X3 and EndNote Web import the publication date correctly. The easiest solution is to upgrade to EndNote X3. If a user can not upgrade for whatever reason, an updated fix for X2 can be downloaded from:
http://www.endnote.com/support/ENX201_WinMac_updater.asp.

Please contact CUS or a reference librarian for more information.
