InfoTrac Database PDF Downloads

Posted on by
Reply

Students,

If you are using our SuperHomer stations in the library and conducting a search within the Infotrac OneFile database, you may encounter a problem with downloading .pdf documents from your search results list. You may get a “adobe plug-in is needed” message when you select the .pdf link.

To work around this problem:
1. click on the Document Title (as if your were going to read the html version or abstract)
2. click on the .pdf link from within the page
3. the .pdf should open up normally

If you are still experiencing problems with retreiving your document ask one of reference librarians for assistance.

Printing to Card_B&W from circulating Laptops

Attention students,

Some of the library’s circulating laptops are not printing to the CARD_B&W Print station at the reference desk. If you find that you are unable to print to the CARD_B&W Print station from our laptops, you can still choose CASH_B&W as your print output.

What you should do is just select Cash_B&W, retrieve your print job (at the circulation desk) and inform the staff at the desk. Don’t forget to have your HuskyCard/UConn ID with you! Our staff will be able to deduct the cost from your card.

Thank you,
Library Staff

A Trip to The Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Sunday April 30, 2006

You are invited to join Professor Frederick Roden’s medieval literature class on a field trip to
The Cloisters, the medieval division of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Set on a palisade in Fort Tryon Park overlooking the Hudson River, The Cloisters is constructed from
various European medieval sites imported in the early 20th century. The collection includes works of art, sculpture, manuscripts — set in a lovely garden environment.
For more information, go to
www.metmuseum.org for great pictures!

We will meet as a group in the waiting room of the Stamford train station at approximately 11:30 a.m. You
will be accompanied to and from NYC, which will include traveling on NYC subways and buses (please be
aware that this trip involves considerable walking and not all spaces are fully accessible). At The Cloisters,
you will receive an hour lecture by an art historian and then have free time to explore the museum and
gardens. We will return to Stamford by the early evening. You may wish to pack a lunch or snacks.
If you are interested in joining the trip, please contact Professor Roden at 203-251-8559 or fsroden@aol.com

You MUST RSVP by Friday April 28 because space is limited for our group.
