Stand & Stretch=> 2 min. Ok—ready to go on? In the next segment we’ll talk about new shortened UCLA Library hours, We’ll go to the UCLA College Library web site, go over some new & updated free and licensed research resources After that I’ll talk quickly about the UCLA Libraries & borrowing privileges & procedures. Then we’ll end with a 1-2 minute description of the LILi group, and I’ll ask you fill out an online evaluation form before you leave.
1 st , as some of you may already know, the UCLA Library home page is our portal to our print and online library materials, to UCLA libraries, to librarians, & to all kinds of help. Home Page Main categories SEARCH & FIND SERVICES LIBRARIES & COLLECTIONS ABOUT NEWS, EVENTS, EXHIBITS What’s new?
Today, in contrast to past practice, due to budget issues, the only handout we’re giving you is a UCLA library map It’s a very important handout, though, because it has the UCLA libraries’ hours on the back As far as we know right now, those hours will be shorter beginning on Thursday when classes start Most UCLA libraries will be closed on Saturdays and open only 1-6 pm on Sundays That is, unless something changes. Also, currently there are study groups in place to look into the impact of closing the Arts and Chemistry libraries Both will remain open for this year Music Library hours will be different from other libraries—check the back of the map for details BE SURE TO TELL STUDENTS & INSTRUCTORS TO CHECK WEB SITE FOR LIBRARY HOURS—MAY BE CHANGES—show the site http://www.library.ucla.edu/about/hours.cfm
Now, as you may already know, UCLA ’ s library catalog is freely available to anyone with an Internet connectio HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE TRIED IT? Lists books, periodical subs & other materials in all 13 UCLA libraries, but does *not* list individual articles PDF usage guide tells you how to use the Catalog — feel free to distribute that url to students & instructors And tell them, that here ’ s an example of why Google isn ’ t enough … Google doesn ’ t list the 8 million volumes owned by the UCLA Library
Now, HAS ANYONE USED THE MELVYL CATALOG? NEXT GEN MELVYL pilot is a catalog for all UC campuses AND… search box – UC & OCLC project, still under development & is very likely to replace the MELVYL Catalog SHOW SEARCH AND FIND MENU/NEXT GEN… Search for “SOCIAL LIBRARIES” (41)… In contrast to what we’re used to in library catalogs, search results include SOME articles, along with books WHICH PERIODICALS DO THEY INDEX? Not clear from the Help—probably just those in the OCLC dbs we subscribe to… QUESTIONS?

Ok, now as you know, many institutions subscribe to or license online databases of all kinds, both periodical indexes & reference databases, & it can get very confusing, as we license many hundreds of databases with many different interfaces Anyone visiting UCLA is considered part of the UCLA community, so may use our licensed resources for free while in the libraries.
