Can't Save to Flash Drive

Problem: Users try to save a document or PDF to their flash drive, and when they try to select the location from the "Save In" drop down menu, the menu keeps rolling up and disappearing, and you cannot select the Flash Drive.

It is likely the student is using a flash drive with a U3 interface, that asks you to reboot and install U3 software on the computer. Since you can't install anything on the public computers, you may see strange behavior, such as the problem described above.

Solution: Select the My Documents folder, and save the copy there. Then, go to the My Computer, find the My documents folder, and Move or Copy the saved document to the Flash Drive location.

WSU OCLC Symbol EYW

As of July 14, 2009, the OCLC symbols GM4 (Shiffman) and LNF (Neef) have been merged to EYW. EYW is now the only active OCLC symbol for Wayne State University.

AccessID & Password

After four registration periods beyond the last semester enrolled, which works out to three semesters (plus the very beginning of the fourth), e-mail access is de-provisioned and the students are classified as "Unregistered" in the electronic directory. That is the point at which students lose access to e-mail, Blackboard, and things like the restricted databases. Students keep access to Pipeline in order to retrieve transcripts, register for classes again, etc.
This applies to all students.

Change EndNote Settings to use MS Office 07 Bibliography Utility

If students have done a bibliography in their paper using the Microsoft Word bibliography utility, their citations page will not show up in the WSU Public Computers unless you change the EndNote settings. Here's how to do that:

Close the MS Word program and the EndNote program, if they are open.

From START-->All Programs-->EndNote
Select Configure EndNote

Leave Configure EndNote Components For Me selected and click NEXT
Deselect Set EndNote as Default Reference Manager for Word 2007 and click NEXT
Click FINISH

Open Word. Their Bibliography created in Word should now be in their paper. You will now see the Citations & Bibliography section on the References ribbon.

Knovel ebooks

Do you have a patron having trouble accessing Knovel ebooks, and they appear to be doing everything right? They may need to uninstall her old Google toolbar and install the latest version of the Google toolbar.

WSU Safe Walk Program

SAFE WALK PROGRAM:

 

   The WSUPD offers a free Safe Walk program to our students, staff and faculty.  If anyone, at any time, feels uneasy about walking on campus, simply call WSUPD (313-577-2222)  from any phone and request the Safe Walk service. We will dispatch a uniformed and radio equipped Cadet to walk with you to your destination. If a Cadet is not available, we will dispatch a patrol officer in a marked scout car to provide the service.

 

   Please note that we can not provide Safe Walks on a regular, daily or by appointment, basis. If you need regularly scheduled or  periodic transportation to locations on and around the WSU campus, or the Detroit Medical Center or Henry Ford Hospital campus, you may wish to consider the WSU/Midtown Detroit Connection for shuttle service in and around the WSU campus. Main campus and medical campus shuttle information and hours of operation, parking lot locations, hours and costs, etc, can be found at: http://transportation.wayne.edu/index.php

 

The shuttle service is free, requiring only that you display your WSU OneCard to the shuttle driver.
