During actual book moves, materials will be unavailable briefly. *NEW DATABASES FOR OLD SCHOLARLY/FINE ARTS PERIODICALS* To assist our scholars and students who will be hindered by the temporary closing of Linderman Library, Library and Technology Services has acquired two new databases that will make research even easier than before. Look for them on the Database Finder page http://databases.lib.lehigh.edu/finder/ or add them to your MyLibrary Portal. The Humanities and Social Sciences Index Retrospective: 1907 - 1984 provides high quality electronic indexing to 1,200 periodicals, including the most important scholarly journals published throughout the 20th century in North America and Europe. With the SFX open-URL technology, users will be able to link out directly to many of our JSTOR and other electronic journal backfiles and find hundreds of thousands of articles and book reviews. The new Humanities & Social Sciences Index Retrospective: 1907-1984 allows instant searching of the equivalent of 46 printed volumes: --International Index: 18 volumes, 1907 - March 1965 --Social Sciences & Humanities Index: 9 volumes April 1965 - March 1974 --Humanities Index: 10 volumes: April 1974 - March 1984 --Social Sciences Index: 9 volumes April 1974 - March 1983 The second new database, Art Index Retrospective: 1929 - 1984, provides an in-depth record of contemporary art history by indexing art periodicals and journalism, important yearbooks and select museum bulletins. Users can locate art criticism, artist interviews, as well as track the work of an artist or artistic movement. The database is international in scope, covering periodicals published in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch as well as English. This new database is also SFX open-URL compliant to make retrieving articles much easier. *NEW MAIL SECURITY FEATURE* Library and Technology Services recently introduced a new mail security feature, which allows users to secure and encrypt outgoing mail. This feature also reduces configuration hassles for those who travel frequently. More information is available at http://www.lehigh.edu/lts/help/faq/secure.html *PREP YOUR EMAIL FOR SUMMER* Lehigh email users have several options for summertime handling of email. a) You can set up a vacation message but let mail accumulate in your inbox. This is safe if you are checking messages or if you have very low email volume. Instructions are at: http://www.lehigh.edu/helpdesk/docs/email-guide/email-guide.shtml#vm b) You can forward your mail to another account. Instructions are at: http://www.lehigh.edu/helpdesk/docs/email-guide/email-guide.shtml#mf Remember that passwords must be changed every six months. Some users may receive a reminder to change the email password over the summer. Reminders are sent via email in advance. Call the Help Desk at 610-758-4357 with any questions. *FINAL EXAM LIBRARY HOURS* May 2 - 11 Fairchild-Martindale Library: Monday, May 2 through Tuesday, May 10 open continuously Wednesday, May 11 open 8 am - 10 pm Linderman Library: Monday, May 2 through Tuesday, May 10 open 8 am - 2 am Wednesday, May 11 open 8 am - 10 pm ****************************************************************** Send your comments or suggestions for future topics by replying directly to the list.
