Ok so here we are, we're in the library,
which is where everyone wants to be of course.
We're going to be working with Therese Dickman
who is our Music Resource
par excellence,
for our Music 501 class.
Ma'am. Thank you John
Yes, I'm Therese Dickman, the Fine Arts Librarian.
I was a music major as well, so I
really welcome you to our
uh... program here at SIUE.
I thought we'd start today by
talking about
the library home page, our webpage.
That is going to be your
portal too many of our electronic resources.
Let's get started with the
library's web page.
You can see that
in the center we have our main links. If you're looking for materials, if you're looking for books,
or other related materials that you could check out of
the library,
you would go to the first option here Books, Media, and More.
You also have options for searching for journals.
Our special collections.
If you wanted to contact to librarian;
either myself or other colleagues of mine,
you would click under Ask a Librarian.
And we do have various means for you to contact us.
uh... you can do web chat,
you can text us.
If you text us then
you just uh...
email
and text a message to 66746
your phone will remember the number and then it's much easier to
sent us a text message again in the future.
uh... I am accessible in both
options, um...
and when I am
available
actually
uh... at that time it will say available
or you could refer the question to a colleague of mine
uh...and they'll refer it on to me if they
can't answer it.
Okay so that something that's a new service and we're excited to make
available.
If you want to request anything through Interlibrary Loan the direct link is here.
and
To get to our
music listening room page,
all our music materials are in the music listening room.
You can access it through this um...
uh...
actually the link above
Special Collections & More is probably the easiest way to get us.
Either by the National Ragtime and Jazz Archive, or Music Special Collections.
These are
uh... links
from our music listening room.
So if you want to know our hours, they'll be posted
and actually I don't think
this is posted, it is
updated just yet, but we'll be open
and staffed from 8am until 5pm throughout the summer.
And the library is open until 10pm so,
the music listening room will be available and open until 15 minutes
before the library closes.
But the staff won't be there
to answer questions directly
uh... during those
after 5pm hours.
Okay, so keep in mind.
But we do have CDs.
We have some LP records, not as many as are shown in this picture.
And all the music scores and print materials
as well as
books with ML and MT
Library of Congress call numbers. Books about music,
music education, music theory books, are all
in the music listening room.
As you can see and I am the Fine Arts Librarian, Mary Peters-Grandone
is our reserves,
music reserves
staff member and Doug Meyer is our
assistant there as well.
Along the side, I am going to return back to the library webpage. Off to the side
one of the most useful resources and links is the eResources A-Z list.
All of our databases and electronic resources are available
alphabetically. So you'll have an alphabet appear at the beginning.
If you wanted to go to a source such as Grove music, you would go to "G,"
or NAXOS you'd go to "N" those for streamed music.
If you want to go to IIMP, our music journal database,
you could easily access it that way.
We'll come back to that later.
And the other thing that people have questions about: if you have call numbers, which we
use the Library of Congress call number system.
But if you
are looking for a book, for instance in the education area which has a "L" call
number,
where do you go to find that?
If you go to the last option here about Lovejoy Library,
you go to maps,
floorplans, and parking,
it actually is on the third floor.
uh... Our
our books are arranged
by Library of Congress call numbers.
The upper
alphabetical letters are on the third floor.
So if you aren't sure you can always go to these floor plans.
The top is north as you would expect.
That's the Vadalabene Center side of the building.
South is the University Center side of the building.
East is Peck Hall Side,
and west as the Science building or
Dunham Hall side.
So you can see the education materials are up on the third floor
on the north side.
And um... but all other music materials would be on the first floor in the music
area.
So if I go to the first floor,
if you aren't familiar with the music area yet, we certainly invite you to
the music it listening room;
and to see what we have available there as well as our listening stations,
if you want to listen while here in the building.
All right let's go back. Another thing I wanted to mention; many of you probably
have smart phones or iPads or
tablets.
If you have a portable device uh... then you can easily access our
library home page through those devices as well.
Our online catalog a searchable on a mobile
uh... environment.
And all you would do is in our library home page you would add
"m.html"
and you'll get our
user mobile friendly
webpage.
This was designed based on the, number, that the way that
most students
and users access the library
webpages.
So our hours are given.
The current hours are posted at the top if you want to see the full
hours for the week or the semester you can access them
right underneith.
And then you have similar links as you found in the center of our full site.
And the maps and directions are easily accessible this way as well.
uh... Research guides are also accessible here,
I did forward my research guide to John Bell.
so
That's accessable through your blackboard
course listing.
(Therese, is there any thought ,)
(about having, this is good, but I'm wondering if there's any thought about having a lovejoy library app that's available for students)
That's a good question, John was asking about an app,
and our Electronic Resource, our
Director of Digital Resources is developing an app. (Very cool)
And if you
go to the;
Students are able to get our webpage quite easily, already with
their smartphones.
So I think an app is in the works. (yeah remember the "m.html")
Yes remember that;
M dot HTML at the end of our,
our usual web page and that'll get you to it.
If you're searching from,
like if you do a google search,
from your smartphone, it will automatically go to the mobile friendly
page.
So i think you'll like that.
At this point, why don't we turn our attention to searching for books.
Okay, to look for books here in Lovejoy Library,
go to the library
webpage.
uh... Again you can do it
either through our full site or through the mobile friendly site.
which has the "m.html"
suffix afterwards.
It's the first option in both cases.
UFind is our local catalog,
it tells what materials we have here in Lovejoy Library.
so
I highly encourage you as graduate students
to register
in UFind if you haven't already done that.
To do that,
click on "UFind"
then "Create New Account."
You'll see this drop down menu which is very easy to complete
go ahead and fill that out.
And the
part that most students uh...
have questions about normally is this "Borrower ID"
barcode number.
This is
uh...
this is your 800 number, but it
follows the "21811"
prefix.
so as you put this "Borrower ID" number in,
put "21811"
first,
immediately followed by your 800
personal ID number that has been assigned here at SIUE.
That's because the 21811 number
is the Lovejoy Library SIUE number.
And then your personal number
will be recognized um...
by the system in the future.
Okay whenever you request to book through the system,
at the end just select "SIU Edwardsville,"
and then submit.
That will enable you to
to renew books,
to see what books you have checked out before,
and most importantly,
it will also enable you
to request books from other libraries.
Another advantage of
being registered in UFind is that you can email
uh... items from this .. I'll show you
you can email items to yourself.
So lets go ahead and do a search.
One of the books that's on reserve
for your class, is "Music Library and Research Skills."
So if you wanted to see the call number to that book,
I'm going to put that in as a "title."
"search."
I'm in the local catalog. Click "Find."
Here is the
call number ML3797.G68 2009
ML3797.G68 2009
ML3797.G68 2009
ML3797.G68 2009
Now this book is going to be put on
music reserved for the summer.
So if you want to
take a look at
look at the book some time during the summer,
uh... at your convenience,
You would just come into the music listening room and
request this book. The music reserve materials are,
you'll see when you enter the music listening room,
they're in the
staff area, but it's very
visible
um... as you enter. If you have any questions feel free to ask and we'll be
happy to help you
uh... access it.
Another book that's on reserve is "The Short Guide to Writing About Music";
and if there are any others to be added uh...
that would be noted
in blackboard and John will
advise you about those.
So let's say you wanted to search um...
you're doing a research project or you're
working on a prospectus and
you've already seen what materials we have here in Lovejoy Library.
If you want to see
what books are available in other libraries in the state of Illinois, then
we can usually go to the I-Share libraries. Those are the Illinois
participating libraries in;
in our system, state system.
So I can do;
um...
Let's try
a different search.
If I do like a keyword search, I'll keep a little more broad,
broadly based. Oh look you get like 1000 items.
That's a little much to wade through.
You could
change it to newest first if you're wanting something more recent.
Just as an example, here's one about "Inquiry in Music Education."
It's come out this year.
Eastern Illinois University has a copy of it;
And if you wanted this book,
all you do when,
once you're registered in UFind
you could click to request the book.
It will ask you to log in.
And here
I put my username I put in when I registered in UFind.
And the password is something that will not change.
So make it something that is easy to remember. Jot it down so you can refer
to in the future.
If you happen to forget about it they will
email you back with the call number.
At this point,
you'll see that you can request the item.
When I click choose pickup location, it recognizes me as an SIUE user.
Again I've registered, so it knows I'm an SIUE
authorized person.
And if I click request, I've just requested that book.
Now normally it takes about
a week for these materials to come. During the summer it might take a little less.
There isn't as much demand uh... and competition for the materials.
uh... So keep in mind. But you will have to uh... allow
about a week's time for those materials to come in.
And then when you're; you would pick those up at the main circulation desk
here in Lovejoy Library.
Look at this. It even has Darryl Coan in it.
Listed as an author.
One of our music faculty members.
So it's very easy to do, and when you're through using the item, just return them
back to Lovejoy Library and the materials would be sent back to their
original library.
