Welcome to our newest librarian, Justina Elmore

Milne Library recently hired three new librarians and we are pleased to introduce them to the SUNY Geneseo community. Today we profile Justina Elmore, who started work at Milne on December 4th, 2006.
Justina spent the past 8 years in fund-raising and community development and most recently served as the Assistant Director of Development at SUNY Brockport. She finished her Masters' degree work at the University at Buffalo in December 2006 and will receive her MLS in February 2007. Justina lives in Brighton, but grew up in Colorado. Her major sport in high school was Rodeo and she loves to kayak, hike, and camp. Having grown up out on the prairie, Justina has become an avid waterfall hunter since moving to New York state in 2001. Her recent hobbies include riding motorcycles (she just learned to ride last May) and a recent interest in skiing. Yes, she grew up in Colorado, but learned how to ski in NY!

Important Printing Account balance information

Still printing out research papers and take-home final exams? Worried about the limit on your printing account balance? Since it's almost the end of the semester, many students have been asking library and CIT staff about their printing account balance. Corey Ha, Milne Library's Technology Specialist, answers some questions regarding the printing balance.
Q: What is the initial printing balance?
Students are provided with $30 of free-of-charge printing during each semester.
Q: What happens to the printing balance from Fall semester?
Any positive printing balance remaining at the end of the Fall semester will be carried over and added to $30 of free-of-charge printing balance in the Spring semester. (Note: If the printing balance is in the negative, it won’t be carried over. Student will just receive $30 of free-of-charge printing for the Spring semester).
Q: What happens to the printing balance from Spring semester?
Any printing balance remaining at the end of the Spring semester will be carried over to the Summer. Students registered for a summer session will have $15 of free-of-charge balance added to their account.
Q: What happens when my printing balance reaches $0 and I want to increase it?
When your balance reaches zero, you can no longer print to student access printers. Students can increase their printing account balance by going to the Student Accounts Office, Erwin 103, Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm. The minimum increase is $5.
Check CIT's website for further printing account balance information and printing policies.

New look for IDS webpages

If you have visited the Milne Library website within the past few days, you may have noticed a change in the Information Delivery Services (IDS) login and webpages. Due to an upgrade in the ILLiad software, the "look" of the page has been modified to resemble the rest of the Milne Library website. The new webpages have many benefits:

• immediate access to a list of your outstanding IDS requests
• main menu of ILLiad will be available from every screen
• "Subscribe to Alerts Feed" allows for instant notification of special announcements and new features

If you are having trouble navigating the new webpages or need more information about IDS, please contact Mark Sullivan (sullivm@geneseo.edu) for assistance.
