*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
Passwords do not expire during June, July and August. If a password has
expired, you will not be able to login and should use
https://www.lehigh.edu/change or https://www.lehigh.edu/forgot to reset
your password and recover access to your accounts.
Call the Help Desk at 610 758-4357 with any questions.
*REMINDER: CAMPUS PORTAL WILL BE UNAVAILABLE APRIL 26-27*
The campus portal will be unavailable this Saturday and Sunday while we
upgrade to an enhanced version of the Luminus portal software. A few
hints to those who are regular portal users:
* if you use the portal calendar, print out your calendar prior to
Saturday so that you can refer to it over the weekend if needed.
* if you are a Blackboard user, you can still access blackboard at
bb.lehigh.edu.
* if you use email via the portal, you can access your email at
imp.lehigh.edu.
*NEW CAMPUS PORTAL AVAILABLE MONDAY, APRIL 28*
The new version of the campus portal will be available Monday. Many new
features will be available, and new portal content will be phased in
over the summer. Some immediate enhancements include:
* Drag and drop channels (no more navigating menus, just click and
move!)
* IMP email integration (both IMP and the original email interface
will be available)
* Channel previews (view channels before you add them)
* Enhanced calendar (a new calendar channel shows your day's activities)
* Group alerts (a new groups channel shows new postings and updates
to your group)
Note that the original portal email will be phased out, and IMP will
become the supported mail interface for the portal. Stay tuned for
information on how you can migrate to IMP.
*CITING AND FOOTNOTING: GET IT RIGHT!*
The semester has flown by and with only a few weeks until the end of
finals, many of you will be putting finishing touches on your research
papers. Time to take advantage of the guidance available on the Library
Services webpage to make sure your papers are in top form and well
documented. On the Navigating Information Website for students at
http://www.lehigh.edu/library/infolit/students/index.html you will find,
in the Proper Usage section, guides to "Avoiding Plagiarism," "How to
Cite," and tips for "Paraphrasing." You can also find some useful
guidance on footnoting in the "Footnotes and Citation Style Guide" page
at http://www.lehigh.edu/library/footnote/footnote.html
*CARTOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVES: FROM THE NEW WORLD TO YOUR WORLD*
Don't miss the current Linderman Library exhibit, Cartographic
Perspectives: Local to Global Maps at Lehigh University, which continues
until June 30th. The show, on display throughout the library, features
"map treasures" from Lehigh's Special Collections, including maps of
Lehigh University and Bethlehem, the New World and early world maps, and
Western exploration.
