Printing from the Electronic Theses and Dissertations database

Posted August 31, 2012 1:36 PM in Databases/Electronic Article Access
HELLO I print copies of abstracts archived in the Library's EDT system and use them to confirm dissertation tiles inserted into the SOP graduation bulletin. I thought the EDT screen page had a "printer friendly" icon on the page last semester. When I print copies of the abstract now, I get a print outs that show the abstract title twice in bold print. I tried two other printers in our office and they also print out as you see them. Has any other Dept. contacted your office about how abstracts print out? Is there a way to get a "printer friendly" icon placed on page so that abstracts print uniformly. I have copies of the finished product and can send them to you if you would like to review them. Thanks for considering this request. Page where "printer friendly" ICON would be helpful: https://digarchive.library.vcu.edu/handle/10156/3932

From a staff member

Jimmy Gaphery, Head of Library Information Systems replies...

Thank you for the great suggestion. The print display for the Electronic Theses and Dissertations did indeed need improvement. We have made some adjustments to improve the print display to eliminate the duplicate titles and some of the other extraneous information that was displaying. For most abstracts the printed version should now be contained neatly on a single page.

Please stagger maintenance of bikeshare bicycles in the future and don't hold them for a whole week prior to that maintenance, it is unnecessary and inconvenient.

From: a first professional student

Steve Barkley, Evening and Sunday Supervisor replies...

Thank you for your suggestion about staggering bicycle maintenance. I am sorry for inconveniencing you as we continue to develop our pilot bike lending program.

We are trying to work within the schedule of the RamBike coordinator, and therefore needed to make sure that the bikes would all be available at once for him to perform maintenance. We have had them on hold since Monday night because, given their possible loan period of 48 hours, they would all be returned by Wednesday night and ready for a tune-up in the morning.. In the future we will suggest a staggered maintenance schedule to ensure continued bike availability and to avoid inconveniencing our patrons. Thank you again for your suggestion.
