Thanks to Mike Hogarth, from the UC Davis Medical Center, you can now search all issues of IT Times (since September 1993) on the Web at http://it.ucdavis.edu/it.times.
- You are invited to participate in a bibliographic software online survey. Representatives from the General Library, the Health Sciences Library, Information Technology, and UCD's faculty have formed a workgroup to evaluate and recommend a bibliographic software package for the campus. The workgroup constructed an online survey to gauge current use of this technology on campus and learn what product features are most important to the campus community. To participate in this survey, visit http://draco.ucdavis.edu/biblio/surveyef.cfm. The Web site also contains information sheets and a demonstration version for each software package. The deadline for submitting entries is March 1, 1998. An evaluation will be posted in April.

- Two new Recommended Solutions documents are now available:
"Guidelines for Developing and Implementing Administrative Systems at UC Davis" is designed to help departments develop a methodolodgy for building new administrative systems. (See Campus Presentations for presentations on this topic.)

To find out about or review the major options for connecting to the campus network from off-campus, consult the "Overview of Off-Campus Connectivity Options," a Recommended Solution document made available last December.
