Videotapes Now Require One Day Retrieval

As a part of the JPL surge this past summer, MAC transferred a large portion of the MAC videotape collection to Academic Technology. It was intended that this part of the collection would be available to users via the cablecast system on Campus. However, due to space issues, the collection remains in boxes in AT.

For the short term, these materials are available to users by request. The status of these materials displays in the online catalog as “1 DAY RETRIEVAL.” Faculty and students can request materials at the MAC Front Desk and they will be available to them the following day for viewing or faculty checkout.

A small portion of the collection, namely the most requested materials, remain in MAC and display as “AVAILABLE’ status in the online catalog. These materials are available for immediate viewing or faculty checkout.

If you have any questions, please contact Russell Colunga at 415-338-2633.

OASIS Problems?

Sometime this morning the OASIS Tutorial stopped responding. To fix the problem, we had to create a new temporary address to provide access to OASIS, while we try to determine what’s causing the problems with the official address. We’ve updated the Library web pages with the temporary address. But, please do not bookmark the temporary address, since it is just that, temporary. Accessing OASIS through the temporary address is exactly the same as it used to be. You can still take the quizzes and your student record will be updated properly. We’re curious if there have been other problems with OASIS that we are not aware of. If you’ve tried to access the tutorial and it failed to load, of if you’ve had any other issues with OASIS in the last month or so, please leave a comment with the details below.
