New and improved OISE Library website

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Monique Flaccavento

…coming soon!

We’re very excited to announce that the new and improved OISE Library website will be launched in early September. The new site will have a similar look and feel to the main University of Toronto Libraries site .

Here are just a few of the features the new site will include:

  • Simplified drop-down menus for easier navigation
  • Easy access links for key education databases, including K-12 resources
  • A section on Open Access which features new additions to the OISE collection in TSpace
  • A database of K-12 manipulatives in the OISE collection
  • A room booking system for our very popular individual and group study rooms
  • Bright, easy to find buttons which link to key services: item renewals, room bookings, research guides, library hours, workshops, tours, contact information, and a form to suggest new titles for the library to purchase

New microform reader!

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Monique Flaccavento

Need to view a microfiche or microfilm?  You’ll find our fantastic new microform reader on the 2nd floor of the Library, located at the south end, near the ERIC microfiche collection.

The microform reader is composed of two parts, a scanner and a computer, and does not require a login.  Here’s a few other things you’ll need to know:

  • The computer is not connected to the internet or email, but is networked to the printer on the ground floor of the Library.
  • To turn the microform reader on, turn the scanner on first, then open the microform software on the desktop of the computer
  • To turn the microform reader off, turn the microform software off first, then shut down the scanner
  • Scanning is free; printing is 15 cents per side
  • The default for printing is double-sided
  • A cheat sheet is posted next to the microform reader; there are also extensive help files built into the microform software.
  • You have 3 options for “saving” files:
  1. Scan to USB
  2. Print (print jobs are sent to the printer on the ground floor of the library)
  3. Scan to desktop and then save to USB or print
