WorldCat Local updates - audiobooks, paperbacks, leased books, GVRL

For anyone who hasn't taken a recent look at Terry's WorldCat Local updates blog: http://uncgworldcatlocalblogspot.com

1. These collections now appear in WorldCat Local: audiobooks (example: The Big Burn) and paperbacks (example: The Cat Who Talked Turkey), and leased books

2. Gale Virtual Reference Library e-books - "View now" link under the brief record leads to an error message "there was a problem processing your request"

• Beth B is working on a fix, no timeframe on that
• When I click into a detailed WorldCat Local record (Countries and Their Cultures), I see a full text link: library.uncg.edu that leads into the e-book 

Things to keep in mind:

• Individual records in WorldCat Local do NOT summarize our holdings for that title - if you want to find out if we have a different year, format (e-book vs. print), or edition, choose "editions" then sort by library
• Years listed in the sidebar - start with the MOST NUMEROUS results not the most recent year - choose "show more" to see more years or for a range of years start at the advanced search

Downloadable audio books from NC Live

FYI, users will need to set up a separate free account to use these - I have advised them to make it the same as their Novell account to make it easier to remember, but remind them that resetting Novell will not reset this account, it is completely separate.

Reading Room changes

The BB and T collection that used to reside at the top of the stairs on the second floor has now been moved to the Reading Room, where the audiobooks were formerly kept - right across from the REf. desk. The audiobooks are now located on the shelves where the DVDs are also housed - at the end of the first row, on the back side.
