Update: ILL Access Has Been Restored

Lisa

We’re happy to say that access to our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) system has been restored. Everyone should now be able to access their account and place new requests. Please let us know if you experience a problem. Thank you for your patience.

Scheduled Outage for Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Tuesday 1/31

Lisa

ILLiad, the online InterLibrary Loan system, will be taken offline for maintenance on Tuesday, January 31. During this time users will be unable to make ILL requests or retrieve any electronic items (articles and book chapters) stored in ILLiad.   It is expected that access will be restored before the end of the business day, and we will post an update when that occurs.

For assistance please contact ILL at the Library Services Desk, via email interlibloan@bentley.edu, or by phone 781.891.2301. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We’re Making it Faster & Easier to Print!

Lisa

Welcome back to campus! If you’ve been to the library this week you may have noticed that over winter break we installed additional printers on the main and upper levels of the building. The total printer count now stands at 9, including 7 B&W printers (6 on the main level, 1 on the upper level) and 2 color printers (both located on the upper level).

And there’s more good news… To increase the speed and ease of printing from within the library, we have installed 2 Quick Print stations. Forget the frustration of hunting for a computer to sit at just to send a print job – you’ll find a Quick Print terminal mounted on the wall outside each of the printer rooms on the main level. Simply walk up to the Quick Print terminal, send your print job, and go.

Finally, in the very near future, a printer will be connected to the scanner on the lower level, allowing users to scan and print.

Please let us know if you have any questions about our printing enhancements. Have a great semester, everyone!
