(Dec 13/21) Hello, can we expand the online database t to include lexis nexis and/or westlaw? The reason being that most of the health law articles and journals are published in the LAW journals rather than HEALTH journals. However these are very relevant articles to healthcare. Seriously consider. Thanks.

(Jul 6/18) My name is Dustin Burlet and I am a PhD student at McMaster Divinity College (Old Testament). I have received your email via your business card that was given to me by Kim at the McMaster Mills Library here at McMaster University. I expressed to Kim my concern about the BS section of the library on the fifth floor, in particular, the moveable stacks and the high degree of usage that that section receives. I voiced a desire to see if it might be possible to put these items in a non-moveable stack section of the library and Kim informed me that you, Anne, were the person to speak to with respect to this matter, hence this email. I wonder Anne, what might possibly be able to be done to help to facilitate a change in this area. I do not wish to petition the library, nor do I wish to start a campaign or a flood of emails and such. I only wish to know what possibly might be able to be done to begin (and expedite) the process of transferring the BS items on the fifth floor to a non-moveable stack section. Thank you very much for reading this email Anne and for any consideration that you might give to this request. Have a great day, Sincerely and with respect, Dustin Burlet

(Oct 24/17) Hi Mac Libraries - Is it possible for us to get a subscription to The Financial times? Given the current state of our global economy, I think it would be beneficial for our students and faculty to have access to this credible resource. Thanks!

(Oct 12/17) Hello, I am very confused with the new catalogue on library computer. It only seems to show e-books and the regular library catalogue is blocked for some reason. Normally Id just go on my phone to the library catalogue, but the wifi coverage in the upper floors of Mills that even this is frustrating. Thank you

(Aug 21/17) Ive been testing out the new catalogue pretty extensively this week and I have to say it falls short in a lot of ways. Unless Im totally missing it, the place of publication has been removed from the catalogue listings. And the search by text function is gone. Are these features that will be added back? I know any new system is going to have growing pains, but this is really frustrating.

(Jul 15/14) Hi, may I recommend that the library purchase a copy of McMaster alumnus Max Haivens important new book: Cultures of Financialization (Palgrave Macmillian 2014). His recent Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power (Zed Books, 2014) is also worth acquiring. http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/cultures-of-financialization-max-haiven/?k=9781137355966 Thanks!

(Feb 19/14) Please add the journal of Medical Internet Research to our access. High relevance and many articles support my research interest. Many thanks, MSc candidate(eHealth)

(Jan 24/14) Is there anyway that McMaster students can receive access to a few additional scientific journals? Some of the very common medical journals such as Nature Reviews, Nature Protocols, and even the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) are not available to mac students. As a graduate student, especially those of us in medical research, it is extremely frustrating to be unable to access these articles. Moreover, the few times I have made requests through RACER, the quality of the print was horrible (it looked like it had been faxed over) and impossible to read. Inadvertently, many of us resort to asking our friends at other institutes such as University of Toronto, to send us copies of these articles. As a research intensive university, is there anyway to fix this? Or at the very least, offer better alternatives (i.e. providing a PDF vs a starchy black and white copy).
