New Business Database - Introducing Intellect!

Unless you look at the Research page daily (and who among you doesn't??), then you may have missed the newest database addition, Mergent's Intellect. Covering millions of US and International businesses, Intellect is the Tesla of business databases. With a beautifully intuitive interface, Intellect gives you and your  members access to key ratios, stock information, demographic searches, and industry outlooks.

United Way Update

Our United Way Campaign is off to a grand start, reaching 14% of our goal in just four days! Thank you! Because the United Way is MetroLibrary’s signature community charity, Tim Rogers has a next level challenge… are you ready?!?

Remember, our goal is to raise $15,000 for the United Way. If every employee gave a total annual gift of $30 (that’s a just a bit over $1 per person, per pay period), we could hit the mark easily!

    UPDATE Academic Search Premier is back

    Good news! Ebsco has restored statewide access to Academic Search Premier through the end of June 2017.

    Academic Search Premier gone

    If you've been trying to use Ebsco Academic Search Premier and finding it impossible, don't worry, you are not losing your mind. At some point in the last week all public libraries lost access to the database. Academic Search Premier was supported by the Regents of Higher Education. Having suffered deep cuts, the Regents couldn't afford to keep the product which in turn cancelled the upgrade access to the public libraries.

    ONEcard: Lost/Damaged Materials

    Hello everyone!

    We have had a few questions recently about how to handle lost/damaged materials on ONEcard accounts. Just to clarify, the procedures for lost/damaged materials on these accounts are the same as for all other accounts. Because there is no account sponsor, please direct any correspondence to the "Parent/Guardian of" the account holder-- this is how OKCPS addresses report cards and other mail.

    Please let your supervisor know if you have further questions.
    Thanks!
    -Meg
