The vanishing ILL form page

The good news is that Union Presbyterian Seminary has a nice-looking new website design!  I'm sure it will be a big help in many ways.

The bad news is that they have erased our ILL form, again.  When you click on the "ILL Form" link in our Morton Library catalog, it takes you to the UPSem homepage instead of to the ILL form.

Because we cannot process form data, our ILL form does not reside on the Library's website.  It resides on the UPSem website.  And when major changes are made to that design, our ILL form gets lost in the shuffle.

We hope to get it restored as soon as possible!!  In the meantime, please email Lisa Janes directly with your ILL requests.  Sorry for this inconvenience!

Post-Reformation Digital Library

This valuable resource from the Meeter Center for Calvin Studies has recently been updated and improved.  It now has its own domain name, a new search interface, and twice as many authors and works included.

The PRDL "is a select database of digital books relating to the development of theology and philosophy during the Reformation and Post-Reformation/Early Modern Era (late 15th-18th c.). Late medieval and patristic works printed and referenced in the early modern era are also included."

The database functions as a unified, searchable collection of books in full-text digital form online, hosted by a variety of providers.  Downloadable PDFs are included, and a link to WorldCat appears with each cataloged work.

Take a look at this helpful resource!  http://www.prdl.org/

Still healing

The Reference Librarian is still recovering slowly from surgery.  I had planned to be back in the office today, but I am not feeling well enough yet.

Please do contact me by email with any research questions -- I will do my best to help you.  Use my office email address : pskreslet@upsem.edu

I hope to be back on Monday 24 Oct.  I apologize for my prolonged absence.

Yet Another Monday

The computers have lost their internet connection yet again. We continue to work on restoring them. Two computers are not functioning in the Reference room, but the others are available. Thank you for your patience as we wait for these to be repaired.

If you find a computer that is not able to connect to any website, please let us know!

Reference Librarian out of the office -- but still available

Just want you to know that I am scheduled for another episode of foot surgery on Monday, October 10th.  I will be out of the office for several days, but I don't yet know exactly how long.

Although you won't be able to see me in person, please do feel free to contact me by email.  I will continue to read my office email every day, and I may be able to help you with research questions from afar.  Don't feel bad about asking for help!  If I can help you, I'll be glad to do it.

Use my office email : pskreslet@upsem.edu

Another Monday

We are sorry to report that we came in this morning to find all of the Library computers had lost their internet connectivity AGAIN, just like last Monday.  I guess they were partying too much over the weekend!

We have restored the machines, but if you find one that is not able to connect to any website, please let us know!
