Faculty Preparation Guide
Welcome to:
Sault College Library is launching a new library search tool called Page 1+ on July 26.
Page 1+ gives you easy access to our collections. With its intuitive design and powerful engine, it empowers our students to complete their assignments more efficiently and effectively than ever before.
We want to ensure you are prepared for Page 1+, so please consider the following activities and update your learning material as needed.
For more information about Page 1+, see this overview of Page 1+
Actions Before Launch
After the Page 1+ launch, searching for books, CDs, videos and other materials held by the library will be performed on the new Page 1+ interface.
Likewise, permanent links to library resources will have to come from Page 1+ in the future.
Prepare for the implementation of Page 1+ by:
Actions After Launch (July 26)
Once Page 1+ is launched, you can access it via the main search box on our homepage.
You will need to:
Check Links to Library Material
To prepare for Sirsi Enterprise and EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) retirement, you'll want to ensure that all links to those two systems are changed over to database-specific or Page 1+ links.
For links to library catalogue items (books, dvds, and other physical material), you'll need to use a Page 1+ link
For links to eResources, we recommend using the database-specific permalinks
IMPORTANT: Old links will only be active through the following dates:
Sirsi Enterprise: Sept 30, 2022
EDS: Dec 31, 2022
Permanent links created in third-party databases like EBSCO's Academic Search Premier will not be affected by this change.
Identifying Affected Links
Sirsi Enterprise: any URL starting with https://sault.ent.sirsidynix.net/...
EDS: any URL with either of the following formats
Creating Resource Links for Your Instruction Materials
Library Catalogue Links
After searching Page 1+, click on a book title that you want.
You will see the item's record view, which has more information about the item and tools for citation, exporting, and creating permanent links.
If you want to link to a resource in your instruction materials, just click on PERMALINK and copy it to the clipboard. Use that link anywhere.
Database Specific Links
Page 1+ records and permalinks can be used for eResources. However, we recommend using permalinks directly to the resource. Since each database has it own format for permalinks, please see Faculty Info - D2L Management for Persistent Linking
Check Screenshots of Library Catalogue & Library Search
Check your learning materials for screenshots of the library catalogue, search page and search results that may need to be replaced with the new Page 1+ versions.
Practice Searching
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with searching in Page 1+ to get used to this new system. After launch:
Check Out Your Library Account
Investigate what you can do in Page 1+. You have your own Page 1+ account where you can save items and searches, manage your profile and perform other tasks. Try these activities:
Need Help?
Your library staff and faculty are here to help! If you have any trouble with the new system or need help creating new links within LMS courses, we want to hear from you.
