Exporting References from Web of Science

There are currently problems exporting references from Web of Science and the Libraries have been in touch with Thomson technical support staff about this issue. It's an especially "fun" problem because it manifests itself in different ways depending on your browser, whether you're on- or off-campus, are trying to export single records or from a saved list, and whether you've already tried to export records during your session. It happens in both the 3.0 and 4.0 versions of the Web of Science interface.

Fortunately Thomson tech staff are able to re-create the problem, but they don't yet have a fix. Firefox users who export single records seem to have the best experience and there are no known problems with exporting to EndNote Web.

We'll keep you updated as the situation improves.

GIS Lab in Suzzallo Library

The UW Libraries has a GIS Lab located on the ground floor of Suzzallo Library. It has 20 computers with ArcGIS 9.2 software. The lab is open 20 hours/week during academic quarters (closed interims and summer quarter). Although several academic departments provide labs with GIS software (as do the General Access labs in Mary Gates Hall and Odegaard Library), the Libraries GIS Lab is staffed by knowledgable individuals who can answer questions about the software and who can assist with locating and manipulating data for integration into a GIS project. Questions about the lab, available data, or GIS projects can be sent to gis@lib.washington.edu.
