What are the Making of America sites, and what full-text nineteenth
century American periodicals are available on the sites?

Answer:

The Making of America project produced The Nineteenth Century in
Print: the Making of America in Books and Periodicals. This is a
digitized collection, funded by the Library of Congress and hosted at
Cornell University and at the University of Michigan, which offers
free full text access (and searching capability) for over 1,500
pre-1900 books and some three dozen pre-1900 magazines and journals.

The Fictionmags Index is worth a look where specific authors, titles,
or journal issues are known, but there's no real subject indexing (and
what is and is not included is unpredictable, since it's being built
as a wiki by many hands)

http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/0start.htm

(again this is not solely American magazines, though it is solely
English-language ones; emphasis is on magazines printing fiction but
others are included; sometimes only the fiction is indexed)

****************

Many 19th century journals (American and others), being by definition
out of copyright, are online at Hathi Trust or archive.org or Google
books or other free archives. Sometimes complete sets, sometimes
fairly complete, sometimes just stray volumes. I'd probably start
with Hathi since the search function is fairly straightforward (and
Hathi is now linked on the Books tab on library homepage)

http://catalog.hathitrust.org/

Google books, Archive.org, Project Gutenberg and a lot of smaller
general archives, and speciality archives both large and small, are
linked from the Online Books Page

http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/archives.html#general

Besides the general archives, some of the "speciality" archives under
"Historical" and/or under "Regional -- North America - United States"
may be useful.

(the OBP link was, alas, not carried over when our library homepage
was, er, "revised" -- but one can get to it by googling or binging
"online books page")

I just found out they installed a new scanner in the basement next to the value port machine. The machine looks like a large duplex printer, which it is, and is being used by the uniprint station down there now. But the top of it is a very robust scanner that can scan in text and images and save them to a usb drive! This is really great for all of those outsiders that come in that want to either scan or photocopy something but do not have money or a Gopher Card. I can think of a lot of benefits this has for our users and for the public. The one caveat is that you need a usb drive. I guess the machine does have problems with certain flash drives, but the one that is stored at the reference desk does work. So if a user is having problems with theirs, we can go down with them, use ours, bring the USB drive back up and email the documents to them.

Other information about the scanner:

1. It can do various resolutions from 100 DPI to 800 DPI. And yes, it does color.
2. Normally the images are saved as PDF but you can select TIFF or JPEG.
3. It cannot print these scans. You absolutely need a flash drive. This is why it is free to use.
4. You can do a preview of how the image works that will display on the options screen.
5. You can scan while someone is using the Uniprint to print. It uses 2 separate processors.

There remain a number of titles that require clean up but MNCAT should now reflect accurate locations for most titles. If you have specific questions about titles, please refer them to Lynn Skupeko.

Titles that remain classed as Wilson Business Reference in MNCAT will eventually be added to the general collection. For the interim these items marked as Business Reference have been moved to the History Day / Business Reference alcove. Here you will also find the microfiche and paper annual reports.

A couple of titles I want to bring to your attention now because the catalog records are very confusing:

1. Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal (also known as CityBusiness) newspaper
Current location remains "Business Reference" and all issues are on the annual report shelves. This title is slated to go to periodicals, pending a decision on electronic acquisition and/or space. Wils Bus Quarto HF 3163 .M65 C58

2. Value Line Investment Survey (covering large cap companies) - The library has a license to the online and print products. Most users prefer the electronic access (find it in the A-Z list) but we have a Friend of the Libraries user who prefers the print. This patron is in every week for the updated edition, which get checked in by serials. So verify in MNCAT whether we've received the most recent (if it's not yet in the binder). The call number is: Wils Ref Quarto HG4501 . V26 pt 1 and 3. Please be careful not to select the very similar title, Value Line Investment Survey Small and Mid-Cap at call number Wils Ref Quarto HG 4501. V262. on the shelf.

Hope this helps. Talk with Lynn or myself regarding questions, concerns.

The CD is loaded on the second CD workstation (signage is present). Small profile chairs have been requested. The business librarians have created very helpful print guides as well as an online tutorial (links below). Please show these help guides to students. Training for desk staff is forthcoming.

Note that students can download, print, save and email search results. Printing currently goes to uniprint. We have requested that Linden (desk printer) be added as another print option.

Looks like one can only link to the Basic screen for Star Trib in PQ News.

Q: When I go to the Star Tribune (archives via ProQuest Newsstand), it puts me in the Star Tribune in "basic" search mode, as expected. But when I then click on "Advanced" it throws me out of the Star Tribune-only to "Multiple Databases." Can this be fixed?

A. The reason you are experiencing this is [because] the Star Tribune is [a] subcategory of ProQuest Newsstand and thereby cannot be searched independently, unlike the Chicago Tribune which is its own category.

I would recommend performing an advanced search with ProQuest Newsstand as
the database selected.
Then click on the More Search Options link towards the bottom of the page.
The first empty field is for the publication title; if you use the hyperlink to look up the publication you can filter and select Star Tribune.
This will allow you to narrow your search to this publication.

I'm not sure if this is old news to users, but I've been working closely with RefWorks for a couple years now and I thought this issue had been resolved...so just a heads up in case the question comes your way.

Write-N-Cite with Macs is still only compatible with .doc file types. .docx files cause Write-N-Cite to error out. I was working with a patron that was getting quite a headache over this and we eventually contacted RefWorks support.

RefWorks is working on a fix...but until then Mac users that have the newest version of Word should probably be advised to save their documents as .doc before formatting the final document in Write-n-Cite.

This issue *does not* occur with PCs.

Best,
Jon
