BetaZone

As many of you already know, all the UNL Libraries printers are attached to UNL’s Uniprint system.  For a while now, many of you have asked how you can print things off your laptop without moving them to a lab computer first.

We now have a beta project that will let you do just that.  Head over to the Uniprint on Your Laptop page to get the software you will need.  Right now this test is only for Windows machines.

The academic year has started up again, and it is time to start planning out what new things we are going to look at.

One thing that has caught my interest is creating a search widget to add to our Facebook page. Other libraries have done it with mixed results, and I want to see if it is useful to you.

Another thing that will probably be a focus this year is improving access for mobile devices. Either seeing what kind of special website formatting could be done, or maybe a even creating a full-blown app for the newer smart phones. There’s been a little bit of a buzz amongst some of the librarians here about mobile access.

Those are two of the areas that are on the top of the list. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Feel free to post a comment or contact me directly.
