INNOPAC’s New Look

In case you missed it last week, the Libraries have updated the look of the catalog,INNOPAC.

We’re still updating all handouts, tutorials, and presentations. We hope to have that process completed soon.

If you’re on campus, the new version of the catalog will automatically default to New Orleans Libraries (one less click!) but if you’re off campus, you’ll see the full catalog that we share with the Shreveport Libraries. Just click on the Search New Orleans Libraries link or use the pull down menu to Limit to New Orleans Libraries

Updated Handouts

Two of the Libraries handouts have been updated with new & improved INNOPAC screenshots.
1. WAM: Off Campus Access Directions.
2. Finding Full-Text Articles

WAM access

**Edit @ 6:30 pm** The off campus access screen is back to being pretty; please take a look at the office campus access webpage for screenshots. Please contact the Library if you have any problems.

*Edit @ 10:30 am* WAM access is back online, but it looks a little wonky. Functionality over beauty wins right now. We are continuing to work on the issue.

Unfortunately, with the launch of the new catalog look, off-campus access to full-text materials was accidentally disabled. We are working to fix this ASAP.

New Look for INNOPAC

Zombie Apocalypse

Since the Centers for Disease Control is often featured in popular movies and books about deadly outbreaks, their emergency preparedness blog has created a post for the most deadly of emergencies, the Zombie Apocalypse.

We’d like to think the CDC was partially inspired by the 2006 Zombrarian visit to our campus.
