Your opinion counts!

It is important to us that we understand your perceptions and expectations of library service so that we can provide what you need. This spring the Brandeis Libraries is one of 209 academic libraries taking part in the LibQual Survey, part of an international effort lead by the Association of Research Libraries to measure library service quality and identify best practices. In the next few weeks you will receive an email with a link to a Web survey. By responding to the survey, you will provide essential information for us to use in planning our libraries’ future. When you receive the email, please take the time to go to the survey and complete it. Survey participants will also have the opportunity to enter a drawing for prizes. Your help is very much appreciated.

To learn more about the LibQual project, contact Ann Frenkel, Assistant University Librarian for Public Services, frenkel@brandeis.edu, (781) 736-4679.

Don’t you just hate it when you have a citation and no earthly idea of where to find the article?

With GET IT! , Brandeis University Libraries now offers an easy way to get to the full text of the article you want.

When you search in a Brandeis-licensed database that is configured for this new service, click on the full record for the citation that interests you:

Click on the GET IT! button and a menu will appear with links to the full text of the article:

If your article isn't available online, click on the link to LOUIS to see if we own the print version. And if Brandeis doesn't have it at all, you can request the article through Interlibrary Loan.

Or, perhaps you found a citation in a print source. No problem!

Enter the citation information – or as much of it as you have – into the handy Citation Linker form. You’ll see the same menu of choices offering you links to the full text online or to the LOUIS catalog.

GET IT! works for any current member of the Brandeis community—faculty, staff, or students—any time, any place.

We’re continuing to add more databases to the service as they become compatible with the SFX linking technology that makes GET IT! possible. To learn more, check out the Frequently Asked Questions about this exciting new service.

GET IT! Got it? Good.
