SimplyMap is becoming SimplyAnalytics!
On Tuesday, July 25, the SimplyMap mapping application will migrate to a new platform and interface, and will be changing its name to SimplyAnalytics.
The new, easy-to-use interface will include several new features, including:
- Improved organization system for data variables
- I-tool displays values for any selected locations
- Related Data Table displays variables related to current selection
- Ability to view more of a map, including fullscreen view
- More color scheme options for your maps
- Improved business category search
All user accounts in SimplyMap will automatically be migrated over to SimplyAnalytics, with no action required by users.
On Tuesday, you’ll be able to access SimplyAnalytics from WorldCat:
http://mcgill.worldcat.org/oclc/123142101
as well as from the Databases A-Z list or the subject guides where it is normally listed.
(Until the migration takes place, the link on this page will take you to SimplyMap.)
McLennan Reading Room closed for renovations from July 10-31
Cross-posted from the Library’s main news feed:
McLennan Reading Room closed for renovations from July 10-31
From Monday July 10 to Monday July 31, the McLennan reading room/reference area on the main floor and south side of the McLennan Library Building (overlooking Sherbrooke and McTavish Streets) will be temporarily closed for renovations.
The existing carpet will be replaced with new flooring. This area, including computer stations and McLennan e-Classroom will be closed to the public. Materials from the Print Reference Collection and selected periodicals and newspapers can be requested at the Information Desk located in the McLennan lobby during service hours.
During this construction period, Library users are asked to use alternative study spaces within the McLennan-Redpath Complex including: the upper floors of McLennan, the Redpath main floor, the Cyberthèque (a quiet study area with plenty of computers on the ground floor of Redpath), or try the light filled Blackader-Lauterman study area on the 3rd floor of the Redpath Library Building.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
