Is Your Library Using the Correct Links and Icons for POWER Library Services?
Topic image
E-Resources
Most institutions link to the "List all" or "Help me choose" list of e-resources, but did you know you can link directly to an individual e-resource? Every e-resource icon and link is available for your use on your website, Google sites, etc. You can even share them in your blogs and social media posts!

POWER Kids and POWER Teens
There are POWER Library sites just for kids and teens! These age-appropriate interfaces provide the e-resources and services targeting kids or teens.

Chat, Text, and Email a Librarian
Did you hear that the Chat with a Librarian service now includes text and email? It's true! It's easy to make these services available to your users by adding a link to Chat with a Librarian with the new icon that includes text and email. 
PSSST! Does your institution contribute staff time to the Chat service? There is a special link and widget for your institution. Please contact support for assistance so we can help you make sure you are using the correct links.

Z39.50 Password Update
The password for Z39.50 connections to SHAREit changed on August 16th. 
This is not your SHAREit login; rather, it is the protocol used by 
libraries who do not log directly into SHAREit. If you are unsure if this impacts your institution, please contact support

Due to the sensitive nature of this password, we do not share it openly with participants in mass communication; rather, if your institution uses a Z39.50 connection to access SHAREit, you will need to contact support.

It is important to note, once the password is changed (and your saved one is no longer valid), you will NOT receive an error message. Rather, you will simply receive no results from Access PA’s SHAREit database. Further, all communication between SHAREit and ILLiad/Tipasa will also not occur – you won’t get an error message, there will just be no data sent to your ILL interface.  

Additionally, the password for full file replacements also changed on the 16th. Contact support for that password as well.
