On Wednesday, April 17th, the UT Libraries will have a used book sale in the Carlson Library concourse.  Stop by between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to look for some great deals!

Look no further than ExamMaster, an online exam preparation resource that lets you brush up on content and take practice exams.  Nursing content in ExamMaster (which also includes the NCLEX-RN practice exam) can be accessed on and off-campus via this link.

• There may be some brief drilling before 3 pm each day. (To minimize disruption, most of the drilling will be done before the library opens at 7:30 am.)
• Electricity to the small study carrels along the long walls of the fifth floor will be shut off, and the carrels moved to the sixth floor (where they will also have electrical outlets). We don’t have a specific date for the move; however, it is expected to be this week.
• Study tables will be added to the southwest side of the sixth floor study loft to provide additional seating.
• Additional study tables with electrical outlets will be added to the fifth floor in the next few weeks.

Thanks to the College of Medicine and Life Sciences for their support of these improvements!

We’re rolling out improvements to the look and functionality of two important library resources this week!

The library catalog will get a new look… now your search will bring up the most relevant materials to the top of your search, and you’ll be able to further refine your search by location, format, date, etc. using the menus at the left.  Also new is one step searching for articles, right from the catalog search results.  This brings almost all of our materials– books, articles, DVDs, and much more–into a single easy search.  Check it out today!  The old version of the library catalog is still available for searching, too.

The other major improvement is to our list of research databases and other electronic resources.  Our new page features an alphabetical menu across the top and an expanded menu of subject categories.  All databases are listed, including those that we get through OhioLINK and those that we purchase just for University of Toledo users.  Signing in from off campus is easy–just use your name and Rocket ID number, including the ‘R’ at the beginning.

If you have any comments on these changes, please let us know either here in the blog or at MulfordReference@utoledo.edu.
