The Infinite Library: Presentation and Training on March 29th

Do our 16,000+ books and 40,000+ journals cover everything our patrons need? Certainly not. Thankfully, there is interlibrary loan.

Interlibrary loan is a service whereby a user of one library can borrow books or receive copies of documents that are owned by another library. Through our networks, we are able to supplement our collection to provide our patrons with nearly everything they need: hence the idea of the Infinite Library.

Learn more at our 45-minute hands-on session. The basics of accessing electronic resources, an introduction to interlibrary loan and document delivery, and an overview of related copyright laws will be covered. You will leave this session with tips and tricks for how to better access our online journals and books as well as how to place requests using ILLiad, our online document delivery and interlibrary loan system.

The session is scheduled for March 29th at 2:00pm in the Graff Library (Room G112). Laptops will be provided. Please visit here to register.

Find It @ City of Hope Graff Library not working?

When we recently transitioned from A to Z to Full Text Finder – a.k.a. Online Journals and eBook listing – there was an unexpected issue with the Find It @ City of Hope Graff Library feature in PubMed@COH.  The feature would not always function properly; for example, not retrieving the article when available or listing alternative options for access such as interlibrary loan.

We believe this issue has since been resolved. However, if you happen to experience this while using PubMed@COH, we recommend doing the following:

• Close the new window that opened when you clicked on Find It @ City of Hope Graff Library (the one with ebscohost.com/ in the URL).
• Click on the Find It @ City of Hope Graff Library button again. This will either pull up the article or give you the alternative options for accessing it. If the tool does not work properly the second time you try, please contact Library Services.

To prevent this from happening in the future, we recommend clearing your cookies. For more information about how PubMed uses cookies, please go here.
