Tips of the Month:
UW Proxy Bookmarklet
Most of the databases, electronic journals and e-books available through the Libraries are restricted to UW faculty, students and staff. If you want to connect to a UW-restricted resource from outside of the UW campus network, you must log in through the UW Libraries off-campus proxy:
If you often do your research from off-campus, we recommend you install the very convenient proxy bookmarklet on your browser’s bookmarks toolbar. This bookmarklet lets you authenticate yourself without having to move from the webpage you are on. More info….
Springer’s My Copy Ebooks
Personal Copies Available for $24.99
UW students, faculty, and staff may purchase for their own use, a paper bound copy of most Springer ebooks in UW’s subscribed collection. These are mostly titles from 2005+ in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and physics. Access Springerlink via an UW on-campus or proxied account to find a book. The 
symbol indicates UW access. Check at the top of the title’s record for this text in the orange bar:
Buy a Print Copy (USD 24.95)
MyCopy (Printed Books)Because your library provides access to one or more Springer eBook packages, SpringerLink exclusively offers you MyCopy books. You can order a printed copy of this book in black-and-white with a full-color, soft cover. It will be shipped conveniently to your home or work address. The delivery time is approximately 8-11 business days. The price is USD 24.95 per book and includes shipping and handling.

INTERVIEWS WITH MATHEMATICIANS
Cornell’s Eugene B. Dynkin Collection of Mathematics Interviews
Cornell University Library has acquired a collection of nearly 150 audio and video recordings of interviews of mathematicians–many are Russian mathematicians–conducted over 50 years by Eugene Dynkin, Cornell’s Emeritus A. R. Bullis Professor of Mathematics. The recordings are now available online.
↔↔
IMU Blog on Mathematical Journals
From IMU-Net 49b: Special issue the Blog on Mathematical Journals
The IMU and the ICIAM have created a joint working group to study “whether or not a joint ICIAM/IMU method of ranking mathematical journals should be instituted, and what other possible options there may be for protecting against the inappropriate use of impact factors and similar manipulable indices for evaluating research.”
There’s an initial report on the issue at the following URL:
http://www.mathunion.org/publications/reports-recommendations.
Before going ahead and taking any further action the IMU and ICIAM want to
explore opinions on a larger scale and get as much input as possible from the mathematical community. That is why a “Blog on Mathematical Journals“ has been installed. Input from a wide range of persons is wanted to discuss this important issue and prepare for the final decision process.

Welcome to the new academic year!
EBooks@UW Libraries: Math & Stat
In addition to the thousands of volumes shelved in Math Research Library and elsewhere on campus, Math and Stat researchers have access to many ebooks in their disciplines. Most math and stat ebooks can be found in these collections:
Springerlink–can download chapter PDFs, no use restrictions
SIAM EBooks–can download chapter PDFs, no use restrictions
EBL–chapter PDFs, use restrictions
The Libraries has put together a HOW DO I? web page full of handy hints such as: How do I find electronic books available through UW Libraries?
UW researchers can access ebooks 24/7. They are available remotely after logging in at 
. This button is located at the top of most UW Libraries webpages.
Applied Math students and faculty: over 400 SIAM books are finally online for UW users. Here’s an Excel list of their holdings:
http://lib.washington.edu/math/SIAM92011.xlsx
You’ll find the fulltext at: http://epubs.siam.org/ebooks/
↔↔
Scanner Now Available
All UW Libraries branch libraries now have at least one scanner available for public use. These new scanners were funded by STF funds. Ours is attached to MRL’s sit-down PC in the center of our main floor. Users must log into this PC with their UWNetID.
↔↔
In response to requests from MathSciNet users and librarians, MathSciNet now offers tutorials on how to get the most out of searching. These tutorials treat each of the tabbed areas of MathSciNet—Publications, Authors, Journals, and Citations—as well as Free Tools and Preferences. The tutorials help users to take advantage of the rich structure of the databases underlying MathSciNet–most will find a feature or search of use that they have not previously used.

Sharing Ideas, Expanding Knowledge:
Open Access as a Scholarly Publishing Alternative
This exhibit marks International Open Access Week and is displayed in the Allen Library, North Lobby, Oct. 10-31, 2011.
Scholarly publishing is in a state of flux. While the book and journal remain the primary vehicles for communicating published scholarship, how their content is reviewed, packaged, paid for, distributed, discovered, accessed, and preserved has changed over the last few years and continues to change rapidly. Many traditions of scholarly publishing remain, but new options, driven by new technologies and changing economic models, are now available and are becoming increasingly accepted in the scholarly community.
We invite you to explore some of those options in this exhibit. We hope this content is informative, that it answers some questions while raising others, and that it brings to light some of the problems that the academic community faces in the current scholarly publishing environment.
↔↔
UW Libraries Research Commons
The UW Libraries Research Commons, located on the ground floor of the Allen Library South, has many spaces available for students and faculty to support group research, presentations, seminars, and colloquia. The Research Commons opened a little less than one year ago, and is designed as an evolving, flexible space that fosters interdisciplinary conversation and provides research support via the Libraries and campus partnerships.
Check for events of interest: http://commons.lib.washington.edu/news-events
Graduate Student Workshops: In partnership with the Graduate School, the Libraries is kicking off a new year of graduate student workshops in the Research Commons.
Drop-in Writing Consultations: The Odegaard Writing and Research Center is now offering morning drop-in consultations in the Research Commons — for graduate students only — twice a week. Tutors staffing these consulting hours are experienced in supporting graduate level research and writing for a wide range of academic and professional purposes. Autumn Quarter: Mondays and Thursdays 10:30am-noon. No reservations required. First-come, first served.
New Collaboration Screens: Student Technology Fee funds enabled us to add large screens, which can be used with your laptop: http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources
New Presentation Spaces: The Research Commons has undergone a few changes based on user feedback to better support large group research work and presentations. We’ve added a new room, Green A, that seats up to 25 people: http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources/green-a/green-a .
Whiteboard Capture: The Research Commons features whiteboard surface tables, mobile whiteboards, whiteboard walls and dry-erase markers for checkout. We also have an EBeam Edge interactive whiteboard system that can be checked out and used within the Research Commons to turn any whiteboard surface into a digital and interactive copyboard. Use the EBeam to create a video or image capture of a presentation, brainstorming session, or TA consultation in the Research Commons.
Interested in seeing your students’ work displayed in the space for a poster session or longer-term exhibit? Contact uwlibrc@uw.edu.
Visit the Research Commons website http://commons.lib.washington.edu or blog http://uwresearchcommons.wordpress.com/ to learn more about the development of the Research Commons.

Departmental Delivery
UW faculty and staff can now request that library materials be sent directly to their departmental mailboxes. All material that can be checked out , except items on reserve, will be requestable. The Libraries will pull material from the shelves, check it out to you and send it to departments via campus mail. Requests for departmental delivery can be made through the library catalog by selecting “Send to Fac Staff UW Mailbox” as the pickup location. Material that is on the shelf should arrive within 1-2 days not counting weekends. Summit and Interlibrary Loan material can also be sent to departmental mailboxes, delivery times will be longer. If material cannot be sent, requesters will be notified by email. Material can be returned through the campus mail or dropped off at any UW library unit.
Items must be sent to a valid campus box number. Check your campus box number in your library account. If the address is not correct you will need to change your address by accessing the Employee Self-Service web site. It may take a week or so for our information to be updated.
More information is at: http://www.lib.washington.edu/services/deptdel.html.

ArXiv No Longer Free to Libraries
Cornell University Libraries can no longer support the arXiv alone. Last year they asked high using institutions to donate to help fund the operations of arXiv. UW ranked 48th in use in 2009 with nearly 34,000 downloads. UW Libraries contributed $3600 to their support in 2010 and continued at the same level in 2011.
It would be helpful to learn more about UW math and stat use of the arXiv. Please take this very short three question survey: UW Math/Stat Use ArXiv.
Thanks.

From Dissertation to Book
Many graduate students starting their dissertations or on the verge of completing them imagine turning them into their first book but are unsure of what may be involved, or even how to begin. Join UW Press editors Lorri Hagman and Jacqueline Ettinger for an overview of academic book publishing and a discussion of such topics as how successful books differ from dissertations; what presses do, how editors work with authors, and what they expect of them; how to identify and approach an academic press; and emerging topics like e-books and open access. The presentation is targeted at UW graduate students, but other interested members of the UW community are welcome.

Faculty Fund for Library Excellence
The UW Faculty Senate has unanimously approved a resolution establishing the Faculty Fund for Library Excellence.
Passed by the senate on March 10 and established March 25, the donation fund could help compensate for budget losses at the UW Libraries, and return the Libraries to their previous ranking.
The Faculty Council on University Libraries kicked off the fund with a $2,700 donation. Joyce Cooper, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and chair of the council, said donation goals will be discussed during the council meeting on April 6.
Thanks go to the voting members of the Faculty Council on University Libraries for this show of support for the Libraries:
Gregory Hicks, Law
Mark Kot, Applied Mathematics
Margaret Laird, Art History
Dianne Lattemann, Psychiatry
Edward Mack, Asian Languages and Literature
Pamela Mitchell, Nursing
Sonnet Retman, American Ethnic Studies
Bill Seaburg, UW Bothell Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences
Donations may be made through the UW Foundation website.
According to the UW Libraries Triennial Survey, faculty members rate University Libraries the most important source of information for their work. From 1980 onward, the UW had been in the top 15 percent of American and Canadian research libraries, according to data from the Association of Research Libraries. Now, though, because of budget cutbacks, it’s in the top 25 percent.
Donations will be used to buy and preserve books, journals and other materials for libraries on all three UW campuses: Seattle, Tacoma and Bothell.

UW Libraries to participate in statewide Snapshot Day April 12
Tuesday, April 12, Libraries staff and students will wield cameras, solicit comments, and gather statistics for a 24-hour period to illustrate the value of libraries through stories, photographs and statistics.
Libraries Snapshot Day is a nation-wide effort sponsored by the American Library Association to illustrate the importance of libraries and to show the vast range of services and resources we provide to the campus, community and state. The goal is to create a one-day “snapshot” of what goes on in libraries by collecting user quotes, images, photos, and data related to library activity. We want to illustrate the kinds of services offered by the UW Libraries, and most importantly, the value these services add to teaching, research, and scholarship.
The information gathered will become part of a historic archive in the UW Libraries. Selected photos will be featured in our public Snapshot webpage and may be used in future library promotional material. This event is being conducted in all UW Libraries on all campuses.
Send us any comments you might have about Mathematics Research Library or the UW Libraries in general. The webpage below has links to tools you can use to send any comments or photos you want to share.

Giving to the Libraries
Faculty frequently offer their collection of books and journals to the UW Libraries. While Math Research is eager to accept dry, clean copies of mathematics and statistics items that we need, in most cases we cannot accept duplicates of what we already have. Please email us a list of items you think we might need with author-title-year of publication info and we will check our holdings. Donations of new research-level books are especially helpful to our budget if given in time.
For items of broader interest than research level mathematics and statistics, contact the UW Libraries’ Gift Program.
Here are some other ideas of ways to use your personal collections to benefit the academic community here or abroad.
Donate:
- AMS Book & Journal Donation Program tries to match donors and third-world institutions in need. You give them a list which they post. Should there be a match, the AMS will pay for the shipping costs. Check their web site for more details.
- Give them away to students.
Sell them:
- Sell clean copies of used books to bookstores (UW Bookstore, Powells.com, or other used book buyers).
- Organize an annual mathematical sciences used book sale.
- Donate the proceeds to our new Math Library Fund!

HOW DO I?
The Libraries has put together a HOW DO I? web page full of handy hints for UW researchers. Here’s one that might be useful to you:
How do I use Google Scholar to search for UW materials?
You’ll be able to view a short video or read the transcript for hints on searching Google Scholar for full text articles available to you through the UW Libraries.

Impact factors can be misleading
http://arxiv.org/abs/1010.0278v3
Nefarious Numbers
Abstract: We investigate the journal impact factor, focusing on the applied mathematics category. We demonstrate that significant manipulation of the impact factor is being carried out by the editors of some journals and that the impact factor gives a very inaccurate view of journal quality, which is poorly correlated with expert opinion.

Now in its 7th year, the University of Washington Libraries Undergraduate Research Awards program enables students to submit research papers to a faculty/librarian review panel for the opportunity to win $1,000 for winning papers, and $100 for honorable mentions. Any paper or project done in a one credit or more class is eligible. Entries will be grouped in three categories: Senior Thesis/Honors Thesis, Senior Non-Thesis, and Non-Senior. Encourage your students to enter!
Interest in the UW Libraries Undergraduate Awards has grown since its inception. Faculty members have encouraged their best students to enter, providing a wide range of entries. Basia Belza, UW Professor of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Systems observed: “There is a phenomenal amount of stellar work that is crafted by our students and they each deserve recognition.” Winning an award can bolster a student’s resume, giving him or her an advantage when applying for a job or graduate school.
This innovative program has grown so much that other universities have begun to take notice, making inquiries to the UW Libraries in order to start their own undergraduate awards competitions.
The Friends of the UW Libraries and the Allen Foundation have once again generously furnished the funding for the 2010 University of Washington Libraries Research Awards for Undergraduates.

Faculty Evaluators Needed for
Undergraduate Research Award Selection
Selection of the award recipients is determined by specific criteria with particular emphasis placed on the reflective essay and is undertaken by a combination of librarian and faculty evaluators. Projects have already been submitted for grading, and so this award recognizes the research process. The committee has benefited greatly from the insightful work of faculty evaluators in the past. Please read what previous faculty evaluators have said about the process: http://www.lib.washington.edu/researchaward/FacultyRecruitmentFlyer2010.pdf.
Here is the calendar of important dates for faculty evaluators in 2009–2010. Please note that participation in the committee involves only two meetings (in bold) and that all of the reading and evaluating will take place between May 18 to June 2.
• Monday, May 3, 2010: Evaluators lunch in the Petersen Room, Allen Library
• Monday, May 17, 2010 @ 5pm: Deadline for applications
• Tuesday, May 18 – Tuesday, May 24, 2010: First round of reading applications
• Wednesday, May 25 – Wednesday, June 2, 2010: Second round of reading applications (May 31 is Memorial Day)
• Thursday, June 3, 2010: Noontime meeting to select winners
• Tuesday, June 8, 2010, 12:30pm: Reception in the Petersen Room, Allen Library
Please let me know if you have questions. We appreciate your willingness to consider participating in the Research Award!
