Printing Help Revisited and Revamped

Here at Bunch Library, we listen to our fans.  We give the people what they want.

In response to this wonderful creation, the Library Systems Team took it upon themselves to add to the library of PaperCut support documentation.  So, we put together these screencasts.  This way, users have a visual walkthrough for printing documents, adding funds to their account, wireless printing, and dealing with some common errors.

•   Part I:  How to Print and Common Errors
• Part II:  Adding Funds
• Part III:  Wireless Printing
• Play All

If you want additional screen casts/how-to videos on PaperCut or any other library technology, contact libsystems@belmont.edu.  For additional PaperCut support documentation click here.

OneSearch to Rule Them All

Today, Bunch Library introduces OneSearch, a deep-index based discovery process for getting to library services.  It combines the library’s databases, catalog and other resources to provide a single search box for all library resources.  That's right: you can search the entire breadth and depth of Bunch Library's content, both physical and electronic, from a single search box.

 Officially, this is a beta release, and the full product will debut in January.  Please send any and all feedback concerning OneSearch to research@belmont.edu.  We would greatly appreciate the chance to improve the product before January.

To use OneSearch, go to http://belmont.summon.serialssolutions.com, and start searching!  If you'd like to see a short demonstration of how OneSearch works, watch the video after the jump.
