| Text JAC Records To Your Cellphone |

Let’s say you’ve searched JAC, Jenkins’ Automated Catalog, and you’re viewing the record for a book that is on-point. You could:
Simply click on the Send via Text Message button, enter your 10-digit number (no dashes), select your carrier, and click on the Send to Phone button. The message will contain all the information you need to retrieve the book at Jenkins: location, call number, and title. You can even send the text message to your paralegal, office staff, or courier/runner and let them get the books from Jenkins for you. Carrier charges may apply. Happy texting. |

| The Resource You Are Looking for? Yes … We Have It! |
|
Do you know about ALL the Jenkins resources offered to you from your desktop? Many of the resources are published online these days, so to use our budget wisely we provide links to them via Jenkins Automated Catalog, JAC Plus, instead of purchasing paper copies. If you are already familiar with JAC Plus, you might already have seen “Link to”option that offers direct access from our catalog to online Resources in the Web-sphere. To see “Link to” in action click on this record then click on Related Resource , which will take you to the current edition of the Code of Medical Ethics. During the next few months you will see many changes to our catalog as we work on improving our system usability. If you come across a resource that we are missing please send us your suggestions. Your input is very important to us. |

Hein is working on developing the ability to “search within a specific article” within a Journal. In the meantime, here is one approach that may help you narrow your results. It’s not straightforward and I’m looking forward to being able to someday search within a specified article within a journal when using HeinOnline. …….from HeinOnline Tip of the Week.
