Online Services Disruption Tonight

There will be a disruption of the college's online services this evening. The disruption will start around 10:00 p.m. and will ideally end around midnight MST.

The services that will experience disruptions this evening include:

• all MHC Web sites
• access to the Internet from within MHC
• faculty, staff, and student MHC e-mail systems
• mymhc.ca (portal)
• Blackboard (learning management system)

The disruption is a result of upgrades that are being made to our Internet infrastructure. The upgrades should result in the lifting of the current restrictions on streaming media services such as YouTube, etc.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Double-side, Staple, & Hole Punch—Cool New Printer Features

The new Xerox printer in the Vera Bracken Library has some excellent new features to help you compile/print documents more efficiently. The printer has the ability to print double-sided (duplex), staple, and hole punch print jobs. You can select one or more of these options for any print job that you perform in the library.

How do you do this? Follow these simple steps once you have selected the option to print your file:

1) Select Properties . . . in the Printer dialogue window.




2) Select the desired options (i.e., double-sided, stapled, or hole punched) from the drop-boxes on the right-hand side of the \\alchemy\library_5030 Properties dialogue window. [To see the options more clearly, click the image below.]





3) Select the OK button once your print options are selected in each of the two proceeding dialogue windows.

4) You will be prompted to confirm the print job one final time. Here you can select Print or Cancel.




5) Collect your printing if you selected Print, or return to your file if you selected Cancel.

NOTE: Even when you print double-sided, your print account will be deducted $.20—it is still $.10/side.

If you encounter any problems with printing, please see the Information Desk.

APA Style Guide, 6th ed. - Corrections

A couple more minor revisions have been made to the APA Style Guide.

Pt. 1. FULL TEXT ARTICLE WITH DIGITAL OBJECT IDENTIFIER (DOI)

This time a correction has been made to the "Full Text Article with Digital Object Identifier (DOI)" example. This is example three on page six of the guide.

The authors in the reference page column originally read as:

• Yu, H., Zhou, Y.-J., Li, G.-X., Zhang, G.-H., Liu, H.-L., Yan, . . . & Tong, G.-Z. (2009).

It now correctly reads as:

• Yu, H., Zhou, Y.-J., Li, G.-X., Zhang, G.-H., Liu, H.-L., Yan, L.-P., . . . Tong, G.-Z. (2009).

The sixth authors initials were not originally included and the ampersand (&) was not required.

REFERENCE PAGE CITATION:
To recap the display of authors names in the reference list (based on previous example):

1 AUTHOR:

• Yu, H. (2009).
  

2-7 AUTHORS:

• Yu, H., Zhou, Y.-J., Li, G.-X., Zhang, G.-H., Liu, H.-L., Yan, L.-P., & Liao, M. (2009).
  
• All authors will be listed in the citation, and the ampersand (&) will be placed between the second last and last authors' names.

8 OR MORE AUTHORS:

• Yu, H., Zhou, Y.-J., Li, G.-X., Zhang, G.-H., Liu, H.-L., Yan, L.-P., . . . Tong, G.-Z. (2009).
• If you have eight or more authors: list the first six authors, use an ellipsis (. . .), and then list the last author.

PARENTHETICAL CITATION:
How will these look in-text ? [Paraphrase example.]

1 AUTHOR:

• . . . (Yu, 2009). OR Yu's (2009) study found . . . .
• You will use this form every time you reference this work.

2 AUTHORS:

• . . . (Yu & Zhou, 2009). OR Yu and Zhou's (2009) study found that . . . .
• You will use this form every time you reference this work.

3-5 AUTHORS:

• FIRST USE: . . . (Yu, Zhou, & Li, 2009). OR Yu, Zhou, and Li's (2009) study found . . . .
• SUBSEQUENT REFERENCES: . . . (Yu et al., 2009). OR Yu et al. (2009) found that . . . .
• If you have 3-5 authors list them all for the first reference, and use et al. after the first author's name in subsequent parenthetical references.

6 OR MORE AUTHORS:

• . . . (Yu et al., 2009). OR Yu et al. (2009) found that . . . .
• In this case, you will use the et al. after the first author's surname for each and every case.

For more information on how to provide author (or editor-in-place-of-author) information in the reference list, see section 6.27 (p. 184) of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association; for parenthetical referencing, see Table 6.1 (p. 177) of the aforementioned work.

Pt. 2. EPISODE FROM A TELEVISION SERIES

Example 2 on page 7 was also corrected. In the "Episode from a Television Series" example, the episode title was incorrectly displayed as: Plato's Stepchildren; it has been amended to the correct: Plato's stepchildren. The program name was also incorrectly displayed as: Star Trek, it too was corrected and now displays: Star trek.

The revised guide has been posted and will carry the designation August 2009 [Rev. B].

i have a leopard coat, what do you think?

it's september & as the days slowly grow cooler & cloudier, every morning i'm finding myself ruffling through creaky drawers for a knitted sock or ratty old cardigan to add a bit of warmth to a worn out summer getup & i can't help but think that the wardrobe of secondhand cutoffs & croptops i've become so well accustomed with the past few months - just won't do anymore.

it's always difficult to think up a workable wardrobe for each new season from what's already hanging up in your closet without feeling the need to go out & buy a completely new one. so, not while sifting through a favourite swedish blog or even while leafing through a trusty old glossy did i find the one photo that answered all my questions - it was instead through a random late night google image search of one of my newest favourite filles, florence welch. her gorgeously eclectic mix of patterns inspired me to simply just put together all my favourites from past seasons & carelessly throw them all on at once, weather accordingly, as she had.

i like to think the zigzag tribal print dress was a favourite of hers in the springtime rolling about in the park, the classic leopard coat & floral tapestry bag were handed down winter staples, the leather snakeskin bag a favourite summer holiday streetmarket find & the knitted scarf a handmade birthday gift & must have for fall. throw on a bit of sheer red lippy, trusty black tights & wooly socks with vintage granny boots, like these, on your feet & youre perfectly set for those long autumn afternoons sat outside your favourite caf with a warm cuppa & a beatup moleskin to jot down all the kooky poems that pop in your head by your side.

je la regarde

elle est si belle, brune, lisse, et ronde.
elle se lie dans ma main et
elle se laisse caresser.
je la regarde.
elle est couchée dans ma main blanche et
elle a l'air vivant.
je fortifie la pression.
je l'écrase avec ma main robuste.
je ne peux pas finir.
je détruis, dans ma main, une petite châtaigne.

...und rauschte mit den rosenbändern...

Das Rosenband
Im Frühlingsschatten fand ich sie;
Da band ich sie mit Rosenbändern;
Sie fühlt' es nicht, und schlummerte.

Ich sah sie an; mein Leben hing
Mit diesem Blick an ihrem Leben:
Ich fühlt' es wohl und wusst' es nicht.

Doch lispelt' ich ihr sprachlos zu,
Und rauschte mit den Rosenbändern:
Da wachte sie vom Schlummer auf.

Sie sah mich an; ihr Leben hing
Mit diesem Blick an meinem Leben,
Und um uns ward's Elysium.

Alberta Art Days—September 18–20

The Vera Bracken Library (Medicine Hat Campus) will proudly be participating in Alberta Art Days from September 18th–20th. Alberta Art Days is a three day cultural event that highlights the vibrant creative energies of our grand province.

A special display will also be created to showcase books and audiovisual materials focusing on the arts in Alberta.
