Hello,
I hope you’re all doing well during this busy finals season. We wanted to notify everyone that the DH Center will be closed for the summer sessions starting May 17. The date for our summer closure has been updated on the library calendar hours website.
Please let me know if you any questions, thanks!

Hi LFolks,
Here is your official informational email about the SCUA move!
What’s going on? SCUA is moving from LA4410 to LL120
When is this happening?Our doors will be closed to the public starting Monday, May 20th. We are currently expecting to reopen on Monday, August 19th (the week before classes start).
What’s moving? Just about everything! Our service point and processed collections will be relocating to LL120. The main entrance to the new SCUA is just around the corner from the Marsh Room and the Chicanx Collection. This is the only entrance to the new SCUA; there are now walls where there used to be various doors! Rob Ray, Adam Burkhart, Lucas Buresch and Dakota Greenwich will be relocated to the first floor within the next month or so, and we’ll send an update when that happens. Their contact info should remain the same. As you all probably know, Anna Culbertson, Pam Jackson and Amanda Lanthorne are already in the new area. We three are behind two locked doors, so if you need one of us, contact us in advance so we can let you in. We will continue to store archival collections in LA 72 and the eventual plan is to relocate all unprocessed materials in LA 42 up to LA 4410.
How can I access SCUA? Inconsistently! We apologize for the inconvenience. Our collections and services will be in various states of transition and accessibility during the next 1-2 months. To err on the safe side, please refer all inquiries to our main email contact (askscua@sdsu.edu) or our main phone line (4-6892). We will not be regularly able to answer this phone line, as we won’t be staffing a desk during the summer, but we will aim to check voicemail several times per day. Email is best. We will promptly respond to patron inquiries whether we can or can’t accommodate their requests! We also anticipate a brief period when our phone line is possibly disconnected for transfer and will send out a message to that effect once we know.
What about SCUA on the library website?The locations for our materials in the library catalog and finding aid database will remain the same. We do need to update any references to physical locations on the library website and in the catalog, which we’ll be working on over the summer. We will also get website and digital signage notifications up asap.
Thank you all for your patience – we’ll do our best to communicate everything we know!
Any questions, send ’em my way.
Thanks, on behalf of SCUA,
Anna
If a student currenlty has a personal account for Adobe CC, such as the free version, then purchases the student subscription using their SDSUid, they should receive a confirmation email from Adobe CC. Once they receive the confirmaion email, they must sign out of their personal Adobe CC apps then sign back in with their SDSUid for the new license to take affect. This should fix any licensing issues they might be having. The issues usually occur because they are logging into a personal account rather than an enterprise account.
Please see the email below about the recent move of government publications. Please refer people looking for government documents to the circulation desk for assistance retrieving material from this collection.
Colleagues,
Over the past two weeks, the U.S. Government Publications and the California Government Publications collections were relocated from the 3rd Floor of the Love Library to compact shelving in the Library Addition. While the movers have completed their work, we are still in the process of reviewing and labeling the collections. If you should have a patron looking for a government publication, feel free to refer them to either myself (Michael Howser) or Kate Holvoet as we work to reassemble this collection.
We are especially grateful to Lisa Lamont and Maureen Dotson and everyone else who assisted in every aspect of the logistics of this move! The collections are now in ideal conditions while also freeing up valuable floor space on the 3rd Floor of the Love Library to make more student-focused research space available. We also want to thank everyone in cataloging for your efforts with updating Alma records for all of the U.S. Government Publications being reviewed and on the future updates of records as the collection review continues.
Thanks everyone, for making this a successful move!
Cheers,
michael
Hi Everyone,
I have received a notice from Library Admin reminding all students that in order to be in compliance with campus HR and the Chancellor’s Office policy you must enter your shifts in PeopleSoft on the same day and time you work them. Library policy requires all shifts be entered using our desk computers, not your phone or personal computer.
When you enter your shift, there is a timestamp attached to the record that can be used to determine if you are following these rules. Please make sure you are entering your time correctly, I do not want to be notified by library admin that any of you are not following these rules.
Thank you,
Josie
Qualifying students will now see a link to “Activate Your SDSUid” in two places within WebPortal. It will only present to incoming students that have expressed intent or are required to live in on-campus housing. No other students will see it.
There is a document in the Team Drive called Activate_SDSUid_WebPortal that has more details about this new feature. The document includes screenshots. Please look over this document so you can refer students or troubleshoot if needed.
Please ask if you have any questions.
Josie
We have been asked to discontinue use of the lunch in/out fields in PeopleSoft. Please instead, clock in for your shift, then clock out when you go to lunch. When you return from lunch add a new line using the + sign to clock in again, then clock out at the end of your shift.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Josie
FYI:
Thank you for contacting the Turnitin Help Desk.
There is a known issue with PeerMark assignments with more than one review per student. Regardless of which peer review the student or instructor has selected to view, the first peer review received will be displayed by default instead of the one selected.
As a workaround, the user
may select any review to open it up in the PeerMark viewer and then
click on the “<>” links at the top-right of the screen to cycle
through the other peer reviews received.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.
Regards,
Turnitin Product Support
We are moving away from the shared scc gmail account for accessing Google calendar and drive. Your -w account is a Google account. You know all have access to the Hub Student Calendar and a Team Drive via your -w account. Please keep your work email, calendar and drive open in Mozilla Firefox while at the desk. Please only make changes to the calendar via your -w account. I will be removing the old calendar this week.
I will work with each of you to update your work bookmarks to reflex this change. Thank you for your patience through all these new transitions.
Josie
We finally have a new identity management portal for SDSUid. It is called IMSDSU. There is a link for it on the right side of the blog under “HUB LINKS”. You must log in with your -w account. Please make sure you know where it is and how to log in.
You can search for students by RedID, SDSUid, or name. Some things to remember:
Let me know if you have questions or comments.
