LIS Websites

On Saturday, Oct. 24, Serials Solutions will be performing routine maintenance on their servers from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This may result in some downtime for the Full Text E-Journals link on the Library Research page. During this time, an alternative will be to search Encore for the title you seek, looking for results with “[Electronic Resource]” in their titles.

The Encore library resource discovery tool will be upgraded Tuesday, Oct. 20. The upgrade procedure will require about 30 minutes of downtime at some point of the day. If you need to search the library collection while Encore is unavailable, please try the “Magnus” tab on the Library Research page, or visit Magnus directly at http://books.luther.edu.

Updates to the LIS website this week included:

• Update to III Millennium 2007 1.3
• Standardization of CSS themes across browsers on LIS development site.

A concern highlighted in our most recent round of usability testing was the disruption of having to search for the LIS site’s login option when trying to access protected content from a link elsewhere on the site or in an email.

Now, when users attempt to access protected content without already being logged in, they will be directly prompted for their Norse Key login. New visitors to the site who have a valid Norse Key will also be able to login at this point.

Thanks again to all of our usability testing participants for their insightful observations!
