Ebling Library took part in an event sponsored by the Wisconsin Library Association, in which we captured our patrons in day to day activities. Studying, using laptops with wireless access, using computers, engaging with our staff, napping, shelving books, using cellphones, talking (in the library!), were all fodder for the camera. While most of WLA’s photos are from public libraries, the Ebling (and some other UW libraries) showed that while we might not have a children’s story hour, we have plenty of services, resources, staff and space that our patrons rely on during their busy days. And while we have your attention, consider joining the Ebling’s Fan Club on Facebook!

PubMed is now available only in a redesigned format. Please see the following article which describes changes to PubMed: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so09/so09_pm_redesign.html.
The goals of the redesign are to make PubMed easier to use, simplify the interface, refresh the look, better organize the text on the screen, and promote scientific discovery.
We recognize that this new look for PubMed is a significant departure for all of our users, and we are committed to assisting you in making as seamless a transition as possible. If you have any questions about these changes or would like to schedule a research consultation or instructional session, please don’t hesitate to call email us eblinginstruction@library.wisc.edu, or contact a liaison librarian directly, via http://ebling.library.wisc.edu/liaison/
In addition, we will be offering drop-in sessions later this semester. Check our class schedule http://ebling.library.wisc.edu/classes_tutorials/ for dates.
