***update****
OCLC, the company that makes WorldCat Discovery and our link resolver (check for full text links), says that those products are working again.
From what I saw of these systems while teaching, that is correct.
Thank you for your patience! I look forward to being able to use the systems to help you individually and during library instruction.
____________________________________________________________
This morning are problems with WorldCat Discovery (the library catalog) and with the link resolver (that gives us "check for full text" links to articles).
Apologies for any system problems that you're experiencing.
When I get an update, I'll post it.

DynaMed on iOS and Android devices
I just heard a great question - how can UNCG students and faculty get DynaMed onto a mobile device?
1. Start by downloading the DynaMed app from iTunes or Google Play
Authenticate the app (connect it to our UNCG subscription). The fastest way to do this is -
2. Open the DynaMed website link from UNCG Libraries.
3. Click the link "Get the DynaMed Plus Mobile App" (lower right, under Spotlight) and enter your email address.
4. On your mobile device, open the email message with instructions and authentication for DynaMed Plus. Click the authentication key" link in the message.
5. You'll be prompted to download content with or without images, in case you'd like to save space on your device.

RESOLVED - Interlibrary Loan currently unavailable
*** update *** ILL service is available again. Thank goodness.
Hi all,
Interlibrary Loan services are currently unavailable. Here is the information that I've gotten:
"For the time being, our system is down. I anticipate that your department will be contacted by patrons with questions/concerns. Patrons will receive an error message that reads, "This site cannot be reached: libids.uncg.edu refused to connect." Unfortunately, patrons will have to wait and submit their requests once the system is back online."
Thank you for your patience!
