Show -7- Her main responsibility has been the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) where she has spent endless hours interpreting and explaining for individual researchers and lecturing on their use to Anthropology and Library. She has solved innumberable problems arising over new books, reference books and periodicals and magazines and has still had time to finish the classwork toward a Masters degree in Anthropology. The staff, her colleagues, friends and students will miss her excellent service and pleasing personality at the Social and Behavioral Science Reference Desk. W e ail wish her bon voyage to Iran. TIRED OF LITERATURE SEARCHING? Instead of spending hours each week or month searching the new literature, you could enlist the aid of computerized literature searching systems in the Marriott Library. Forty-two on-line data bases search through millions of citations from journal articles, conferences and symposia, books, technical papers, research reports, patents, news items, etc., in abstracting and indexing journals in most disciplines. The Library can run your search profile against selected data bases on a regular basis to keep you up to date in the literature. Some data bases have an automatic update service that provides you with a new monthly printout of journal citations in your field. Either way, you and your student assistants save mountains of time. The cost is reasonable, considering the time saved. Try us out. Ask for information at the Science and Engineering Division (581-7747) or the Social and Behavioral Sciences Division (581-7702). Ask for the Un-Book: The P.S.L. The University of Utah Libraries Public Serials List has changed this year. If you ask for it at the reference desks, you will be given not the heavy green book you are used to, but a set of microfiche-and you'll be directed towards a nearby microfiche reader. The P.S.L. has shrunken from a volume three inches thick to ten fiche, each with a capacity of 208 pages. There are many advantages to this new format. Several users have already commented that they can finally read the P.S.L. without their glasses, and the reduced cost and reduced production time will allow us to update the list more frequently. Supplements will no longer be issued, since a new edition is planned for the beginning of each quarter! |
