Important Library Minute: Mobile Security

October 12, 2012 · All locations, Library Minute, podcasts · Comments Off

In this very special episode of the Library Minute, Anali addresses the important issue of security for all of your mobile devices.  In order to guard against theft, tampering and other devious activities of your personal information, it is imperative to employ the 3 Ps of mobile security:  use PINs, Passwords, or Patterns to secure your device.  Yes, it can be a pain to use a password every time you want to use your phone, but as Anali says, it’s better to be annoyed than have someone steal all your stuff!

For more information about information security, please visit ASU’s official security site at getprotected.asu.edu.

Library Minute: Interlibrary Loan Document Delivery

March 12, 2012 · All locations, Library Minute, podcasts · Comments Off

Our Interlibrary Loan and Documentary Delivery service provides access to all of ASU Libraries’ holdings and beyond.  Articles that are only in print can be scanned and sent to your email.  A book at Fletcher Library at the West campus can be sent to Hayden for pick up so you don’t have to drive there.  If ASU Libraries doesn’t own the item, we will get it for you through another source.  Let us do the work of finding it for you!  Did we mention that we can also ship items directly to on-line students?  Of course this is all free for students, faculty and staff.  And it’s FAST!

Library Minute: Library One Search

January 31, 2011 · All locations, Library Minute · Comments Off

Have a paper to write but don’t know where to start? Try Library One Search! Using one simple search box, you can look for most library resources including millions of books, journals, full text articles, sound recordings, videos and maps – all owned by the ASU Libraries.

In this Library Minute, Anali introduces how Library One Search enables you to search for topics spanning multiple disciplines, instead of hunting through specific research databases. This gives you more time to work on your assignment!

Use the Library One Search from the libraries home page or wherever you go. It is part of the mobile library site,  My ASU, Library Subject and Course Guides, and the ASU Libraries Toolbar.

Library One Search, research made easy!

Open Access Week: Videos about Open Access (Including the Library Minute!)

October 22, 2010 · All locations, Library Minute · Comments Off

Of course, we couldn’t celebrate Open Access week at ASU without a Library Minute!

Download the iPod ready Library Minute (mp4 video)

However, we’re not the only ones inspired to make videos about Open Access.  The Anita Greene Student Working Group of Boston University Libraries made this great video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTvyzp-RwzY

One of the great things about Open Access is that it encourages and supports creativity. It’s not just about access to research, but also about reusing, remixing and mashing material into something new. The Sparky Awards Video Contest is a great way to flex your creative muscles and promote open access at the same time! This contest is for student-created videos that explain why open access to research is important to students. Entries can be submitted solo, or as part of a team, and are due May 26, 2011. There are several award categories, so there’s more than one way to win!
