Summon Implementation at University of Manitoba
My colleague at the University of Manitoba has inspired me to tweet about the Summon implementation at the University of Manitoba Libraries. Tania Gottshalk is tweeting aboutĀ Electronic Health Records.
At the University of Manitoba Libraries we are just in the middle of implementing the Summon discover layer from Serials Solutions. We have our catalogue records loaded, connections to our journals and A&I databases that are “summonable” working. What’s not working yet is links to our catalogue and the proxy links are dodgy (more testing required!)
I’m working with SerSol (Serials Solutions, SS has nasty connotations) on usability testing, and this week we’ve completed tests with three students. My plan is to publish the results of the testing.
My past twittering has been from my personal life, which frankly, isn’t that exciting (but in case you’re wondering we won our curling game last night).
So if you’re wondering how the Summon implementation is going at UML, follow me.
Hodgson Mill – Gluten Free Banana Bread
Leslie had his first paid babysitting jobĀ last night, came home with $35 bucks and a big smile. Thanks Mirium! Rod is forcing me to think about Christmas presents, so later today we’re going shopping. Me. Shopping in November for Christmas. What’s next? Picking my clothes off the floor? Which has got me thinking about what I really want – a rustic pine table to match my chairs. The table we have is serviceable, but needs restoration, and was a wedding present from my first wedding in 1983. Time to move on, don’t you think?
As a treat for my celiac son, banana bread is in the oven . . .

Reese’s Inspired GT Cake
Inspired by Baking for John blog post
I made the cookie part into a bottom crust and decoared with Reese’s candy instead.
Thanks Paul Peters at University of Manitoba Libraries for the great idea!
