We are excited to announce major upgrades to Library computer systems this summer.
With crucial support from the College and the
Office of Information Technology, the Library
implemented a new central system server in preparation
for the new Fall semester. As a result, users
will notice dramatically faster interactivity
when using Geisel research databases from both
on and off campus. In addition, the new hardware
will allow more efficient work in the several
modules that Library staff use, and will allow
us to load many new software enhancements that
users will see in the Geisel Catalog.
One very important software upgrade this Fall
will come in the form of WebBridge links within
Geisel research databases. WebBridge, an advanced
OpenURL "link resolver," will help integrate
many of our numerous databases by better linking
citations and abstracts in one database to available
full-text and related resources elsewhere. Library
staff are currently configuring and testing
this complex software in a number of databases,
with hopes for a first implementation in early
October. Please stay tuned for more news on
WebBridge.
The exhibit showcases the wide variety of resources and services available in the library. From high-level reference help to providing the latest Academy Award-winning DVDs, the library is committed to meeting the information needs of the Saint Anselm College community. This fall we are promoting patron use of personal laptops in the library. With our wireless connection and the ability to print from a non-networked laptop, we expect to see more and more students working electronically throughout the study areas of the library. The faculty are encouraged to collaborate on library exhibits; please contact Betsy Holmes if you would like to participate in a future display.

G is here!
Wireless access in Geisel Library has been upgraded to the G standard. B wireless cards will still work, but G-enabled wireless laptops will have faster access.
This means that laptops can take full advantage of the increased bandwidth if they have an IEEE 802.11g-compatible (or G standard) wireless card. Dual and triple standard cards will work also, as long they include support for the G standard (i.e., B/G, A/G, etc.). The G Standard Wireless Card can be purchased at the Saint Anselm Bookstore.
For further details, see Wireless Network
Information or, please consult with a librarian
at the Geisel Library Reference Desk.

Westlaw Campus also includes a law review file that provides the texts of articles published in over 700 legal periodicals. Novice researchers should be able to find relevant materials without much difficulty using the "natural language" search function, but Westlaw Campus also permits highly sophisticated, command-driven searches.
