LTS DIGEST -July 30, 2004 Lehigh Univ. Library and Technology Services CONTENTS: --PROJECTS IN AND AROUND FAIRCHILD LIBRARY --DIGITIZED JOURNALS RELOCATED TO LMC --USING LEHIGH'S SECURE WIRELESS NETWORK --SUMMER SESSION II LIBRARY HOURS Subscription, archive and contact information is at the bottom of this digest. PROJECTS IN AND AROUND FAIRCHILD LIBRARY In Fairchild Library new public site machines and tables are being installed on all floors through late July and early August. The main floor installation includes an additional "kiosk" machine and tables more conducive to group work. Approximately half of the machines will be available at all times, as the project is being done in two parts for user convenience. For updates about other summer site installations, see: http://www.lehigh.edu/computing/tims/facilities/sitenews.html The "big dig" in the EWFM plaza area that has required users to enter the Fairchild Library through the Media Center door is expected to be finished sufficiently to allow the front door of Fairchild Library to be open on August 19th for the LTS Fair and the semester. This project provides new roofing/waterproofing on the top and south side of the Computing Center. In mid-July a separate project to the east, in the sculpture court, began, blocking off access to pedestrian traffic through the EWFM breezeway now from both directions. This project is to build an addition to Sinclair Lab for the Center for Optical Technologies. Finally, both the computer room coolers and the roof itself were replaced on the top of EWFM8A. This project will be finished soon. DIGITIZED JOURNALS RELOCATED TO LMC Lehigh has for some time been a participant in JSTOR, the nonprofit project that digitally archives scholarly periodicals. The reliability and popularity of JSTOR have led academic librarians at many institutions to conclude that print volumes of titles represented in JSTOR can be placed in a remote storage site. Over the summer, print back volumes of selected journals fully represented in JSTOR have been moved to our storage facility (Library Materials Center), beginning with those titles housed on the 3rd floor of Fairchild-Martindale Library. Disciplines heavily represented include sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, and general science. Faculty library liaisons in affected departments have been contacted about these moves. Volumes will be retained in storage and can be retrieved if for some reason the original print must be consulted. In general, JSTOR has a "moving wall" of 3 to 5 years -- the time period allotted for the publisher to benefit from subscription revenue for a given year's issues until that volume is digitized by JSTOR and folded into the archive. All current issues that have not been digitized will remain in the current periodicals area. Current years of many of these journals are also available electronically from the publisher's web site. Details on physical and electronic locations of journals are available from the ASA catalog. For a complete list of journals available through JSTOR, please see http://www.jstor.org/about/collection.list.html Lehigh subscribes to Arts and Sciences I, II, III, IV, the Arts and Sciences Complement, and the General Science collection. USING LEHIGH'S SECURE WIRELESS NETWORK Lehigh is in the process of implementing a secure wireless networking environment wherein everyone will be required to log in to obtain access to wireless resources. Throughout the summer more wireless locations, including all residence halls, will be converted over to the secure wireless networking standard. Currently EWFM 8B (Computing Center), the Campus Square Plaza, Packard Lab, Rauch Business Center and Transportation Services are setup for secure wireless. For a complete list of wireless locations on campus, see http://www.lehigh.edu/wireless/locations.html Accessing the secure wireless network will require a special configuration. Instructions for Windows XP users can be found at the Lehigh Security web page <http://www.lehigh.edu/security/SecureWirelessXP.html> Instructions for Mac OS users will be available soon. For anyone who hosts a conference or other event that brings non-Lehigh individuals to campus who expect wireless access on their laptops, you must request a temporary computer account so they can authenticate to secure wireless. Non-Lehigh individuals who do not have a temporary account cannot logon to the secure network. Contact your computing consultant for assistance, if needed. Note: Palm-based devices with wireless capabilities are not supported on Lehigh's secure wireless network. You should not purchase a wireless-enabled Palm with the intent of using wireless on campus. However, there are provisions to facilitate secure wireless use of PDA's built on the Microsoft Pocket PC platform.
