Do you know the difference between Anime and Manga? Anime and Manga are two different storytelling media. Confusion arises between the two when the same story has been presented in both anime and manga versions. Did you know that you can order graphic novels, manga and anime through OhioLink?

Posted on by

 

We’ve just released Scholar@UC version 2.2.0. In addition to many bug fixes, there are several new features available in this new version:

  • Users can now use the “Cloud file” upload tab to import their UC Kaltura videos directly into Scholar@UC.
  • Keyword search has been extended to all descriptive metadata fields.
  • Added Clermont, Blue Ash, and Law Library to the “College” menu option for student work types.
  • On collection pages, the “Search within this collection” button has been renamed “Browse this collection.”

  • To facilitate batch loads and imports of works from other repositories, repository managers can now change work ownership to users who have never logged in.   Once those users login, they will have complete control of their content.

A full list of changes can be found in the 2.2.0 changelog.
