Engineering South Of The Border: A Librarian’S Experience In Nicaragua, Debbie Morrow

Presentations

I will spend the first half of May’12 in Estelí, Nicaragua, as a volunteer member of a project to teach product innovation and development skills to students and faculty of the Nicaraguan national university system.

I look forward to sharing what I learn about engineering and academics in a culture eager to develop.

Incorporating Millennium Catalog Records Into Serials Solutions' Summon, Jeffrey Daniels, Patrick Roth

Scholarly Papers and Articles

Grand Valley State University implemented the web scale discovery system, Summon from Serials Solutions, in August of 2009. The decision was made to use Summon search as the only search box on the library home page. This fueled the desire to ensure that the Grand Valley State University local catalog was included in the Summon index. The inclusion of these records caused many issues that had to be addressed and worked through, including daily updates and incorrect data. In this article the authors share their experiences and discuss solutions to issues faced during and after the implementation.
