Hi everyone,
This is just an FYI that I've requested that the Reference Desk computer be upgraded to Office 2007. For anyone who hasn't yet made the transition, SED will be offering a number of up-coming Office 2007 classes. There are also free e-learning courses from Microsoft that are being made available through the University Technology Training Center (UTTC).
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Emily
If you have patrons with EndNote questions, this Moodle site may be a very useful tool. This note came through the AP list.

Hi All,
I'm not sure how many questions come the way of service points regarding EndNote, but I've put the script that I use in my EndNote for Science and Engineering workshop into a Moodle page and thought I'd share it with the larger library community.
I created it largely as a supplement for the workshop I teach, but if patrons are asking questions about EndNote you could send them this link directly to get them started. If you don't get any questions regarding EndNote, please feel free to disregard. If you have any feedback about the page, I'd love to hear it.
Otherwise, enjoy! https://moodle.umn.edu/course/view.php?id=3866

There have been two calls this week from EndNote users having trouble with importing references from PubMed. The reported problems are that only one PubMed reference/citation from a list of many is imported or that all the selected references appear as a single EndNote reference.
The solution is directing patrons to the EndNote web site (www.endnote.com) where they will find an icon, in the top right corner of the page, labeled "PubMed News Alert 1/14/04." Following this link will take users to a page where they can download the new EndNote PubMed import filter for both PCs and Macs. Patrons may ask what to do with this downloaded file and you can direct them to save it to their "filter folder" within the EndNote directory (folder) on their computer. This should solve their problem. You can also refer them to Lisa or Jim.
Today we withdrew our copy of the software, 'Exam Master for the USMLE' from the educational tech collection. We were unable to rerun this software from any of our current ed tech machines due to a lockout code on the program.
You can refer patrons who are looking for USMLE test prep materials to the 'USMLE Bio-Medical Library Resources' link on our Library Instruction - Library Handouts - Subject Guides page. Or directly at: http://courses.lib.umn.edu/page.phtml?page_id=897
If you have further questions, feel free to direct them to Lisa or Katherine
