Unique to Pacifica
Accessing articles, databases, ebooks, library accounts, and journals off-campus
If you are a new student, your personal username and password access will not be ready until 4-5 business days after your first day of class. If you need your library account or off-campus database & journal access sooner, please contact the library.
Login for all library resources: your first name.your last name.
Example: Joe.Student
Password for all library resources: the last five numbers of your student ID.
Example: if your student ID is P000012345, then the password is 12345.
Current Pacifica faculty, students, and staff (alumni also have access to some resources off-campus; see below) may access all electronic databases and journals off-campus by selecting them from the Research Databases page and then entering a username and password as demonstrated above in the off-campus authentication screen. Usernames and passwords will work for all of the library's databases and journals; once you have logged into the off-campus system in a web browser, access is provided to all online databases and journals until the browser session is closed. The same username and password protocol will also work for library catalog accounts, unless you have reset your own catalog account password.
If you still need help with off-campus access, contact library circulation.
Alumni library resources
Pacifica alumni have access to several databases off-campus, including the EBSCO Academic Search for Alumni database, Gale Virtual Reference ebooks, ebrary ebooks, Cambridge ebooks, and Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities. These are all accessible from the Research Databases for Alumni page. To access them, click on their links and then enter your username and password (see Accessing databases and journals off-campus above). Alumni can also do the following:
APA formatting
While APA formatting can be tricky, here are some resources that may help you with it:
Articles and books in print
Not all journal articles are available online; some publishers do not produce journals online, only in print. Some essential publications, such as Harvest, Parabola, Quadrant, and Spring are only available in print. To find them, click on the Journals & Ebooks link available in the library's navigation menus and search for the journal the article is in, or browse for journal titles after clicking the "Journals in Print" tab. Print holdings will indicate available years for journals, and which campus library has them. Please note that the library's print holdings of journals cannot be checked out; there are far too many valuable articles in them that students need on a continual basis. You are free to view them while in the library, and either scan articles to an email account (for free) or photocopy them (costs are $.05 per page and are done on the honor system). Please note that when scanning or photocopying, the library maintains that you honor Title 17 of U.S. Copyright Law.
For books, search the library's catalog either by title, author, or some combination of the above. Library records will indicate available copies, which campus library has them, and call numbers (Pacifica uses Library of Congress classification). If a book is unavailable, you may place a hold on it.
Articles available online in full text
To find specific full text journal articles online in the Pacifica library, check the Journals & Ebooks directory available in the library's navigation menus for the journals containing the articles. It is a master list of all the journals and ebooks the library provides in full text both electronically and in print, and it also has journals organized by subjects.
When looking at an article reference, make sure you identify the title of the journal that the article is in. So in this example,
Gad, I.(1999). Alchemy: The language of the soul. Psychological Perspectives, 39 (Summer), pp. 92-101.
The title of the journal to look for in the Full Text Journal & Ebook Directory is Psychological Perspectives, with the idea being that if we have that journal in full text for the year needed, 1999, we also can provide the full text article. If you search the Directory for this journal, you will see it is available like so:
E-Journals from EBSCO 1970 - Present You can search for articles in this journal using the EBSCO E-Journals Database
In the example above, you would click the link for E-Journals from EBSCO and then either browse to the year and edition required (in this case, 1999 and Summer), or search the EBSCO E-Journals Database for the title of the article (in this case, Alchemy: The language of the soul). Please note that different journals will be available in different databases, so you may see other links to other EBSCO or JSTOR resources depending on the journal you search for. Different databases housing journals can also have different interfaces and searching mechanisms. Depending on which one you check, browsing or searching works more efficiently.
Joseph Campbell and Marija Gimbutas Library Collections
The Joseph Campbell and Marija Gimbutas Collections are housed on Pacifica's Lambert campus, adjacent to the Graduate Research Library, and are maintained by the OPUS Archives and Research Center. Both collections are open to the public from 2:30-4:30 every Saturday, no appointment necessary! Should you want to see the Collections at another time, please contact OPUS or the Graduate Research Library.
Check out periods for books, dissertations, audio-visuals
You may check out items from either the Ladera or Lambert campus libraries.
Contacting the library
Library staff can be reached during normal operating hours by phone at (805) 969-3626, extension 115. Students can also email circulation staff at firstname.lastname@example.com. To reach individual staff members, including reference librarians, see the library's contact page.
Dissertations & Theses
Nearly all Pacifica dissertations are available online in ProQuest (unless so recently finished that ProQuest has not digitized them yet) and most theses from 2010 ff. The library also keeps circulating print copies from the last 3-4 years available; prior years are kept in storage for archival purposes. The library generally encourages dissertation access through ProQuest instead of in print both to save physical space in the campus libraries and also for convenience to students who are traveling to and from our campuses.
There are four methods for finding specific ebooks in Pacifica's library. We recommend checking for them in all the ways shown below, in case one system has incomplete data. Accessing ebooks off-campus requires off-campus authentication.
1. Check the library catalog to see if a book is available as an ebook. You can limit searches to ebooks like this, from the Advanced Search Screen:
If you run the search above, for example, you will see the record for the ebook appear like so:
Click on the link "Available via EBSCO eBook Collection" to access the ebook.
2. Search the Journals & Ebooks directory for the title of an ebook. This is a master list of the journals and ebooks the library provides in full text either in print or electronically. When looking at a book reference, make sure you identify the title. So in APA formatting:
Taylor, E. (2009). Mystery of Personality : A History of Psychodynamic Theories. Springer Science & Business Media.
The title of the book to look for is Mystery of Personality : A History of Psychodynamic Theories. If you search the Directory, you will see it is available:
Click the link for "eBooks on EBSCOhost" to go directly to the ebook, which you can read online or download, up to 60 pages at a time.
3. Check Pacifica WorldCat and limit results to the ebook format. See this FAQ for more information on Pacifica WorldCat.
4. Check these individual ebook databases we subscribe to:
Cambridge Collections OnlineEbraryEBSCOhost ebook collection (see their tutorials below)Gale Virtual Reference LibraryPsycBOOKS (from the APA) Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology Online
Cambridge Collections Online
EBSCOhost ebook collection (see their tutorials below)
Gale Virtual Reference Library
PsycBOOKS (from the APA)
Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology Online
It is important to not only rely on one option to find ebooks because no single system is infallible and also because publishers sometimes add or subtract ebooks from the databases named above, and sometimes without notice.
Ebrary ebooks
Ebrary is accessible to all Pacifica students, faculty, alumni, and staff. It contains over 4,000 ebooks, and allows you to use a special ebrary reader to view ebooks, as well as listen to them. In addition, ebrary provides, free of charge, personalized accounts for you. In those accounts, you can save ebooks to your own bookshelf, including online notes and annotations you may have made in ebooks. For more information on using ebrary's features, including its personalized bookshelf, screen reader, printing and copying, searching for chapters, and more, see the tutorials below. Note that ebrary's Unity Reader, which supports text-to-speech options, is covered in the online ebrary help guide. These guides were created by ebrary, not Pacifica Graduate Institute.
When on-campus, you do not need to log into ebrary unless you want to use your personalized bookshelf and account. Should you choose to do so, you will be presented with the Library Off-Campus Login screen. Enter your off-campus username and password to access your account.
When off-campus, your login and password will automatically log you into your ebrary account, or auto-generate your account if it is the first time you have accessed ebrary.
EBSCO Search Tutorials (search alerts, text-to-speech, thesaurus, & more)
The following tutorials were created by EBSCO:
The following video tutorials on the EBSCO interface were created by the APA (they use Adobe Flash Player):
Library Fines and Overdue Policy
All library correspondence regarding overdue materials, library accounts, library services, and automatic warning notices from the catalog, are sent to a Pacifica email account of record. Student email accounts are formatted by firstname.lastname@example.com while faculty and staff addresses are constructed by firstname.lastname@example.com. The library catalog automatically sends out notices to email's on record cautioning patrons when their checked-out items are 7 days of being overdue, and then again when an item is due. Students are required to check their My.Pacifica email accounts regularly for important official notices from the school, per the Student Handbook (see Pacifica Information Technology email policies). Every student is responsible for all e-mail communications that are sent to their My.Pacifica Student E-mail account.
As with any library, patrons are ultimately responsible for items they have checked out. When an item is not returned or renewed in a timely manner other student, faculty and staff are put at a learning disadvantage to fully understanding and applying research material. The Library strongly encourages patrons to remain in contact with the library regarding the overdue and renewal status of items checked out under their account.
Please see this video on checking your fines online, by ByWater Solutions.
Fines and Replacement Charges (updated 12/15/12)
Library Overdue Amnesty Option
Students who have overdue item/s that are not damaged can pay the overdue fines, listed above. Or, if they are in good academic standing with Pacifica, request a one-time overdue fine amnesty from the Library's circulation staff. Amnesty can be applied to fines from the prevous 12 months. Off-campus library access to electronic resources is not affected by this offer. The amnesty option requires all overdue items checked-out under a Library patron's account to be returned at the requestor's expense to the Library circulation staff in satisfactory condition. Upon receipt of these items, the patron requesting a fine reprieve will have all outstanding overdue fines waved if the items are not damaged, have not already been replaced (i.e. if they were overdue by longer than 6 months), and he/she agrees to the following guidelines:
If a student under the amnesty program does not incur additional infractions or late fees for 12 consecutive months, he/she will be reinstated to normal patron borrowing status with all the rights and privileges given by the Library. Alumni are not eligible for the Library Amnesty Option.
Leave of Absences
The Registrar routinely alerts the Library to students who have taken a Leave of Absence (LOA). The Library immediately puts each student into an LOA status upon notification. The guidelines for a student under an LOA status are as follows:
The Registrar routinely alerts the Library to students who become withdrawn. Withdrawn students must return all items to the Library and are subject to all overdue fines or replacement costs incurred while attending classes. We urge all students who are intending to withdraw to return all items to the Library before doing so, and/or to contact the Library to arrange how/when to do so.
Freud Standard Edition (Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud)
The online version can be accessed through our catalog. Volumes 1-24 are listed there; by following links to each volume, you can browse its full text table of contents, which are housed in the PEP Archive. Standard Edition contents are available in HTML format, not PDF. You can print Standard Edition contents, download them, have them read to you online in American, British or Australian accents, and even download the contents as MP3 files. If you want to search for a specific title within the Standard Edition, and don't know the volume number, search for it in the PEP Archive, which we get via the EBSCO platform, like so (using Mourning and Melancholia as an example):
Holds for library items
Pacifica faculty, students, students on library amnesty, students on leaves of absence, alumni, and staff can have up to 12 regular circulating library items on hold at one time, meaning 12 active holds that have not been fulfilled and pulled yet for holding. Journals for in-house library-use-only cannot be placed on hold. Up to 3 test collection materials can be placed on hold at one time by students and students on library amnesty. Faculty may place up to 10 test collection materials on hold at a time. Friends of the library and withdrawn students cannot place holds.
Here is a video on placing holds online, produced by ByWater Solutions.
Holds can be placed in the library catalog by logging into your library catalog account and then selecting "Place Hold" in results lists for items:
Or in individual results, select "Place Hold" in the far right corner:
Then select a pickup location (either Ladera or Lambert's library) on the next screen. Items placed on hold are available at library circulation desks at both campuses. If you wish to have an item shipped out to you, please contact the library about it after placing the hold.
If an item placed on hold is currently available in the library, it generally takes up to 24 hours for the hold to be pulled from the library stacks and placed behind the circulation desks for pick-up; this is especially relevant when the requested item needs to be transferred between campus libraries. Holds placed on items currently checked out to other students, faculty, or staff may take much longer to fulfill, depending on the item's due date and whether they return the item on time to the library. When a hold is available for you to pick up, you will receive an automatic notice sent to your @my.pacifica.edu email account (for students) or @pacifica.edu email account (for staff and faculty).
Interlibrary loans
If current Pacifica students, faculty, or staff need items not held by the Pacifica Library, they may request that the Library borrow the items from another library. This is called Interlibrary Loan or just ILL. You may fill out the library's online ILL Request Form, fill out a print request form found at the campus libraries, or email email@example.com with your request. When making requests, please be sure to have clear and accurate citation information so staff may find the correct document. ILL requests are filled on a first-come first-serve basis and items already owned by the Pacifica Library will NOT be processed. Please consult the library catalog, or the library's journal holdings, prior to submitting an ILL request. Students will be contacted when the items arrive. It is difficult to predict when items will arrive, since the library depends on the speed of the lender to process requests, the mail delivery service, etc. To cover the fees of the lending libraries, $3.50 plus shipping is charged per item for this service to students (faculty are not charged). Renewal policies for ILL documents are dependent on the lending library, not Pacifica's Graduate Research Library. Overdue ILL items are charged a $1/day fee and items not returned after one month are assessed a replacement charge (determined by the lending library, not Pacifica's) plus a $20 processing fee. Students are limited to 20 ILL requests per 30 days. Requestors have the option of picking up ILL requests in person at either campus library or by having journal article requests or book chapter requests emailed to them (PDF copies sent as attachments).
Jung Collected Works (Collected Works of C.G. Jung)
All 20 volumes of C.G. Jung's Collected Works are now available as an ebook to current Pacifica students, faculty, and staff (alumni access is forthcoming) through the EBSCO eBook Collection. Access is unlimited and sections can be downloaded and printed out repeatedly. Records for each volume of the Collected Works in the Library catalog contain links to the corresponding ebook volume, and there is also a link to the entire Collected Works in the Journals & Ebooks Directory. To assist you with navigating through the ebook version of the Collected Works, Mark Kelly, Lead Reference Services Librarian, created a library guide for it.
For more information on using the EBSCO interface, see the EBSCO eBooks user guides and Reading an eBook on EBSCO interfaces guide.
The Abstracts of the Collected Works are available online for volumes 1-18 by the Jung Center of Houston, Texas. The abstracts can be browsed by volume, and list of contents per volume.
The following excerpts from the Collected Works are also available in ebook format:
Pacifica's library has the Collected Works cataloged separately by volume (in print) with some volumes available for checking out and a complete set always available for reference-only usage.
For help with citing Jung, see Citing from the Collected Works of C.G. Jung by Richard Buchen, Special Collections Librarian.
Permanent URLs to Articles, Ebooks, Dissertations, and More
Permanent URLs can be copied and pasted into Desire 2 Learn, emails, web pages, or course syllabi. Instructions vary depending on databases. When you are off-campus, these URLs will trigger the library's off-campus authentication system.
The prepending proxy server URL referred to in descriptions below is http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
Prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. E.g. to link to an image of a Ram-Headed God Holding Osiris Before the Serpent Goddess, use: http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.aras.org/record.aspx?ARASnum=2Am.126. Note that you will need to click on the "I Accept" button in ARAS after trying to access a permanent URL in it, and afterwards, you will need to copy and paste the URL again to correctly load it in your browser.
Prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. E.g. to link to the chapter Pop, Rock and Interpretation in the Cambridge Companion to Pop and Rock, use: http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://cco.cambridge.org/uid=22108/extract?result_number=5&search_scope=collection&query=ethnography&id=ccol9780521553698_CCOL9780521553698A013&collection_id=complete&collection_id=literature&collection_id=philosophy-and-religion&collection_id=music
Counseling and Therapy in Video
In the screen for a video, click on the ""Embed/Link" icon. It opens a new window with a URL for linking, and with embed code to embed the video on another website. Prepend the proxy server URL to the one for linking. E.g. to link to the video Mixed Anxiety and Depression: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach, in Assessment & Treatment of Psychological Disorders use: http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ctiv.alexanderstreet.com.pgi.idm.oclc.org/View/536314. For more info, see their Help function.
Prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. E.g. to link to Chapter 3. Mental Disorders Due to a General Medical Condition use http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dsm.psychiatryonline.org/content.aspx?bookid=22§ionid=1889368
Ebrary ebooks
For entire ebooks, prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. E.g. to link to Jung in Contexts: A Reader use http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/pacgradins/docDetail.action?docID=10054898
For book chapters or pages, first prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. Next, determine the page to link to. In ebrary, that will be listed in the top right corner of the screen. The ebrary numbering system is not in synch with the print numbering system in the ebooks themselves. For example, if you wanted to correctly link to page 123 in the ebook Jung in Contexts: A Reader, you would note the first page number in the paragraphs, not in the box:
Last, add &page=x to the end of the URL in the web address window of the browser, with x being the page number from the box above. For example, http://site.ebrary.com/lib/pacgradins/docDetail.action?docID=10054898&page=146. This will link to page 123 in the actual ebook, which is the start of the chapter Jung in Literary Context.
EBSCO Databases
For individual articles, ebooks, and reports, click on the Permalink icon under the Tools menu:
The EBSCO-generated direct URL will appear above the full text of the article, below the search interface. It will automatically prepend the proxy server URL to it. For example, the URL to the article "Carter, D. (2011). CARL JUNG IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. Contemporary Review, 293(1703), 441-451" will be: http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=70640418&site=ehost-live&scope=site
For search results lists, click on Alert/Save/Share at the top-right corner of lists, and then copy the URL under Use Permalink:

For more information, see EBSCO's instructions.
On an ebook chapter or page, click the Bookmark link in the toolbar above the text. A bookmark URL will appear. Prepend the proxy server URL to that bookmark URL. E.g. to link to the entry for Monsters in the Encyclopedia of Religion, use http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CCX3424502106&v=2.1&u=carp39441&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w
JSTOR Arts & Sciences III
Near the top of records for articles will be the Stable URL. It will be to the right of the journal image, below the Article DOI and/or the publisher name. Prepend the proxy server URL to the Stable URL. E.g. to link to the article Taoism and Jung: Synchronicity and the Self by Harold Coward, in the journal Philosophy East and West, Vol. 46 No. 4, use http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/1399493
Library Catalog (Koha)
Copy the URL from the web address window of the browser. This would be for an individual record to a library book, ebook, A/V material, etc., or for search results lists. No prepending proxy server URL is necessary.
ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Full Text
Look at a dissertation record from the Citation/Abstract view, because that view page loads much faster than going straight to the PDF. Prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of that view page. E.g. to link to the Citation/Abstract view of Cynthia Hale's dissertation Follow the Red: Exploring the Archetypal Experience of Color, use http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/pqdtft/docview/304907386/abstract/1362D47722277A5A050/1?accountid=45402

World Folklore and Folklife
Prepend the proxy server URL to the one from the web address window of the browser. E.g. to link to the entry for Culture Heroes, within the Thematic Guide to World Mythology, use this URL: http://pgi.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://folklore.greenwood.com/wff.aspx?k=6&x=GR1505&bc=DBFL1632&p=GR1505-193
Psychological testing materials
The library provides access to psychological tests such as the WAIS-IV, WISC-R, and MMPI-2 in print at the Lambert campus library. Students may check out one test kit at a time, for one day at a time. Tests may only be used or viewed in the Lambert campus library. Should you want to reserve a test, contact library circulation ahead of time.
The library provides access to the APA's PsycTESTS database, which contains online full text of numerous unpublished tests. This database is available from the Journals & Databases page (see Accessing databases and journals off-campus). In addition, the library provides access to the Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print database, which provides information about and reviews of published tests (but not the tests themselves).
For more information on this topic, see the APA's FAQ/Finding information about psychological tests.
Reference assistance
Reference staff are available in-person when students are on campus as well as by phone at (805) 969-3626 extension 144, or email at email@example.com. Reference staff include Mark Kelly, Head of Reference Services, Richard Buchen, Special Collections Librarian, and Alain Dussert, Director of Library Services. Replies to reference questions sent by mail, email, or left on voicemail, are usually provided within 24 hours. Appointments may also be made for private consultations and tutorials with the reference staff.
Renewing library items
Here is a video on renewing library items online, created by ByWater Solutions.
Library items you have checked out can be renewed after logging into your library catalog account and then looking at the "My Summary" list of items you have checked out. In the example below, the item can be renewed by checking the box for it or by selecting the "Renew All" button.
Do note that items placed on hold by other library patrons cannot be renewed. Items that are overdue also cannot be renewed. Should you need further assistance with renewing your checked-out items, contact library circulation.
Returning library items
Items can be returned at either campus library though the Ladera library is only open when classes are in session at Ladera. There is an after-hours drop cart at each library. The Lambert campus drop cart is normally near the entrance-way to the Lambert library and the Ladera drop cart is located in the Ladera computer lab. You can also ship items back to the library at this address:
Pacifica Graduate Institute Research Library249 Lambert RoadCarpinteria, CA93013
We also recommend that when sending items back to the library, you use a trackable shipping service, especially when shipping multiple items.
Scanning articles and book pages, sending via email
Library patrons may scan pages from books and journal articles in-person using the library's photocopier/scanner at the Lambert library, and the photocopier/scanner behind the Ladera computer lab at the Ladera campus. We recommend patrons send scanned documents to themselves via email. Current Pacifica students, faculty, and staff may also request the library scan journal articles or book pages and send them via email. Library staff fulfill requests on a first-come first-serve basis, so long as requests do not violate US Copyright Law (e.g. scanning and emailing an entire journal issue or dozens of pages from a book). To request this service, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (805) 969-3626 extension 115. When making requests, please be sure to have clear and accurate citation information so staff may find the correct document.
Screen readers - listening to ebooks and articles
Many of our ebook databases have built-in screen readers that allow you to listen to ebooks and/or download MP3 files! Journal articles in EBSCO databases available in HTML format can also be listened-to online and/or saved in MP3 format (these features are not available for articles and ebooks only in PDF). The following are links to help guides discussing these features in their respective databases:
To read PDFs or other documents not included in the readers listed above, you could try the NVDA screen reader, available for download from nvacces.org (please note that this screen reader is from an external site, not affiliated with Pacifica Graduate Institute).
Shipping library items to you
The Library can ship up to 12 documents at a time to students via UPS or through the mail (US Mail Priority Service) and via an expedited service such as FedEx upon request. For typical UPS Ground shipment, the charge for the first item delivered is $5.50 and each additional item is 50¢. Shipping usually takes 5-7 business days to reach destinations. Papers, articles, etc. (small items), are delivered at a reduced rate of $1. The additional cost of expedited service, if requested, will be added to these fees. If articles or book chapters must be photocopied by Library staff, an additional charge of 20¢ per page is assessed.
You can contact the library via phone or email to indicate items you want shipped to you, including holds you have placed.
Please note that the library will not ship items out to patrons that have overdue items and/or who owe overdue or replacement fines, until items are returned and/or fines are paid.
WorldCat and Pacifica WorldCat
Both are accessible from our main library catalog page, near the top.
WorldCat is considered the master library catalog for American libraries containing the holdings of over 41,000 academic, public, and special libraries, including those in North America and Europe. It is designed to help you locate books, audio-visual materials, dissertations, or other items of interest and discover which libraries near you own the item. Note that in results, you can narrow holdings by postal zip code, in order to determine libraries that have what you need by geographic region. For more information, including setting up a personalized WorldCat account, see the WorldCat Help tutorial or General WorldCat Questions and Answers.
Pacifica WorldCat is a "local" version of WorldCat, meaning that it limits results to items that Pacifica's library has, such as books, ebooks, audio-visual materials, dissertations, and theses. We intend Pacifica WorldCat to complement our already-existing catalog, and to provide an alternative way to search Pacifica collections. Off-campus access to Pacifica WorldCat requires the same authentication method that journals and databases use. Once you've retrieved an individual WorldCat item, to see if it is checked out from our library, click the link Check catalog at Pacifica Graduate Institute under Find a copy in the library in the WorldCat record.
To access individual ebooks, you will need to click on the link under "Other Libraries" as shown here:
Links to databases containing the ebook should come up. Always select the first one though, as others below it may not actually be active subscriptions Pacifica has (sometimes even Pacifica WorldCat is cross-pollinated by electronic holdings of other libraries).

My presentation for the Feb 21, 2011 mkeUX.
These slides are missing a lot of context. If you weren't there and want to know what I said, please let me know! I may try to write a summary of what I covered sometime soon.
User experience + information architecture + web writing = autocratic for the people.
My presentation for the Feb 21, 2011 mkeUX.
These slides are missing a lot of context. If you weren't there and want to know what I said, please let me know! I may try to write a summary of what I covered sometime soon.
Lately, I've heard some seasoned UXers bemoan the dearth of user testing and data collection going on in a lot of modern UX practices.
The internet has been around for quite a while now. People (erm, users) have had enough varied experiences that a lot of the tried and true "best practices" are no longer relevant. Or at the very least shouldn't restrict what we do. Strategic experimentation has helped make things fun. It's pushed thing forward. And it's helped make our jobs interesting while at the same time enchanting our audiences.
But there's a real danger in unchecked innovation.
UX people are obviously trying to craft unique, well-reasoned experiences. We're good at thinking things through, considering the whys and hows. But, as @mkedobbs said after last night's mkeUX meetup, all the innovation and creativity in the world is for naught if you don't have tangible proof that it's useable.
So here's the thing: Let's not get hung up on user testing, etc, but let's not forgo it. We need to put what we're creating in front of users before they're forced to use it in the batty metropolis of daily life.
Part of your UX advocacy with clients or within your organization needs to be
focused on fighting to let users speak in their own voice.
Testing does not have to be expensive or time consuming. A small sit-down yields massive results.
So, you know, to awkwardly rake up an old advertising slogan: Just do it.
Seriously though—have at 'er.
Earlier today, @Abby_the_IA delivered her definition of UX as a one-two punch:
For a long time, I've been snoozing in the sunlight of the first idea she touches on: constraints.
It's like Georges Perec's A Void, a 300 page lipogrammatic novel, where he doesn't —not once —use the letter "e". Truthfully, I've never read the book (it's on my endless to-read list, like the entirety of Donald Barthleme's syllubus), but I love the idea of building something almost squarely on the concept of omission.
Constraint is a great tamer. You're forced to be resourceful and smart with your creativity, and to be fearless with purging bloat and fancy.
In our UX work (and in life in general, I guess) we should never bemoan the boa constrictor-ish lot we're sometimes handed. Sucky as it can be, you occasionally need to be nearly choked out in order to fully live.
Most of my week has been spent playing around with different wireframing tools. Basically, our fresh-faced UX team is trying to figure out what will work best for us. We've all used different things in the past and need/want to come to a consensus, so it seems worthwhile to see what's new and hot.
While researching, I came across Travis Isaacs's presentation, Keynote Kung-Fu: How to wireframe like a ninja. As the name suggests, it's about using Apple's Keynote to create wireframes.
This slide (#106) really grabbed me:
Here's the thing—I didn't hear the audio of the presentation, so I'm not exactly sure if he meant you could fancy up your wireframes up with visuals or that you should do so.
In my experience with client work, I've noticed that wireframes are taken very, very literally. Even if you preface them and continually remind the stakeholders that nothing's set in stone and that the frames are more of a living roadmap, they always get stuck on small visual happenstance like:
Things like that. They focus on the wrong details and end up missing the big picture. Even with a lot of handholding.
I totally agree with what I surmise Travis is saying. Do a whizz-bang job when creating wireframe. Make things look good—high fidelity theoretically should help cement ideas. But from what I've experienced, it seems like mixing too much wow into your wireframes could easily backfire. And it may thoroughly sidetrack your discussion with stakeholders.
It's a tangled mess of psychology, really.
It's almost like the complete opposite of the Ipsum Lorem issue, where you're offering up too much and what's on offer isn't real. Wireframes are not and should not be visual design. Using wireframes as visual design is like asking an infant to perform surgery.
At least that's how I see it. But I've never done very hi-fi wireframes. Mostly, I've used Hotgloo, which doesn't have a rough sketch-y look like Balsamiq, et al. So maybe I've done mid-fi frames?
Have you presented hi-fi wireframes to clients? And if so, what were the results? I'd love to hear. Tweet me your response, since my commenting on here admittedly sucks.
I haven't posted in a good, long while. Maybe you've noticed. But probably not?
I don't really have excuses for it, other than laziness, the impending birth of a daughter, and the general fog-headedness that comes with searching for, interviewing for, and getting a new job.
So thaaaaat's what's bringing back into the blog realm. I have a new job. And I want to tell you about it.
The past: tech writing
4 years ago, I started as a technical writer at Trisept Solutions. I have a degree in Technical & Professional Writing. But up to that point, I'd just worked jobby jobs. Things to get by, pay a few bills. I wasn't putting my degree to use at all.
In 2006, my wife (then girlfriend) was finishing up acupuncture school and we decided to move back to Milwaukee from Chicago. Cheaper cost of living, closer to friends/family. That sort of things. And I landed my job at Trisept, where I'd actually use the education my parents paid so much for.
Enter UX
Several months in, the company hired a Usability Specialist. A really great one named Deborah Sova. I had no idea what usability was. But Deb and I quickly struck up a rapport and she graciously took me under her wing, involving me in all her projects. Heuristics, user testing, the works.
It was the best, most intense education I've ever had.
About a year later, Deb left for a different and her role was handed to me. I continued to hone my skills, work on different types of projects, and just generally grow the UX practice within the company.
The freedom I had to learn at Trisept was astounding. I dove in deeply and lost myself in the nooks and crannies of UX. I got really excited about the field and realized that it's exactly what I want to spend the rest of my working life doing.
Need for a change
After a few years in the UX role, I started feeling the need to diversify. Trisept creates technology for the travel industry. Both B-to-C and B-to-B sites. Great stuff, but you need to grow to stay relevant, right?
The departure
So I started shopping around for new job. Keeping my ears open.
My good friend, colleague, and mkeUX co-conspirator, Mike Kornacki, had recently been hired as UX Architect at Johnson Controls (JCI). He promised me and Steve Grobschmidt that he'd keep us in the loop about any expanded UX needs at JCI.
Within three months of his hire date, he had us in the door.
I started as Information Architect a week and a half ago. Steve started as UX Lead earlier in July.
New things
I'm totally stoked about learning a new industry and continuing my UX education in a new domain. I'm also super excited to be on a UX team with people I genuinely respect and like personally (Gretchen Thomas is also part of it!). We're being empowered to create the organization's UX process from the ground up. Exciting stuff!
I'm sure I'll be telling you more about it as I get settled. And hopefully the change of scenery will kick start me back into blogging!
Over the past month, I've been working on a pile of wireframes that have a somewhat precarious purpose.
They aren't tied to the future design of a specific website. Instead, they're meant to give our internal teams a sense of features they'll be able to pick from and implement on their individual sites in the future.
Kind of like a menu at a restaurant.
There is an inherent danger with wireframes. Or, rather, in presenting wireframes. It has to do with how things like size, scope, and verbiage are interpreted by stakeholders. These things are often interpreted as being carved in stone. Like they'll be the permanent artifacts of a brand. Corporate cave drawings that will linger on forever.
For this reason, it is obvious that we need to be as careful as possible when composing wireframes. Duh.
But we need to be even more careful when presenting them.
How to present wireframes well
During wireframe presentations, even just spelling out expectations properly before you dive in to the guts of the frames isn't enough.
Go into these meetings with utmost patience. Know that your biggest obstacle will be steering conversations back when they inevitably veer toward "Well, why does this box look like this…?" Over and over again.
This is hard enough when creating wireframes that drive design. But if you're like me and creating a site "menu", you'll need to be even more nurturing to your clients.
Trampoline tactics
It's best during a meeting to periodically remind everyone that what they're looking at isn't literal. And it's changeable.
If someone keeps returning to the whys, a good tactic is to revisit an earlier example. Say something like: "Great questions. But this is kind of like the XYZ that we discussed earlier. It's just representing the fact that XYZ will exist on the page. We can delve further into the details when we begin talking about design in a few weeks."
Confusion is ok to start
Subtle visuals will obliterate even the most carefully architected information scheme. Be ok with this. Be gentle. Eventually everyone the electrified by clarity and it will be awesome.
Today I did my first ever "speaking engagement" outside the confines of my corporation.
My dad's a member of the Racine, WI Founders Rotary club. Knowing that a lot of other members are small business owners, he asked me to give a high level presentation on creating good user experience on their websites.
The main things I harped on were:
A few things I learned:
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to being able to present again in the future. Hopefully on something a little more challenging and specialized. But it was really great to test the public speaking waters in the way I did today.
Huzzah, indeed.
People love social media for its shrinking abilities. It helps them feel in the know. And to be part of that know.
Foursquare is obviously a great example of this—it tells you where someone is at a given moment. Great! If you're feeling social.
But people rarely talk about using tools like Foursquare to avoid social situations.
How to avoid people socially
Truth be told, I've done this. (Have you?) Maybe it has something to do with living in a city like Milwaukee. It's not small, but small enough that you're apt to run into someone you know anytime you leave the house.
Foursquare just exacerbates this.
Say you want to drink a cup coffee quietly, while reading a book. On your way to the coffee shop, someone you know has checks in there.
But at the same time, not so crap.
Knowing they're there helps you plan somewhere else to go in advance, so you don't have to be swayed away from the alone time you've committed yourself to.
The good with the good
Technology hasn't destroyed the social fabric. There are many ways that it's closed massive gaps for people who share common interests. Awesome.
Only total weirdos want to always be an active part of what's going on. Normal people need to turn inward often and reflect. Quiet our minds. Set shit straight. Be alone!
Social media can aid this.
Same media, different contexts
We need to apply different contexts to how we use social media.
Pretty magical, eh?
Published two new article on contente.org this week:
Nice video about Milwaukee's very own Mike Rohde and his sketchnotes. Mike's the guy who did the rad illustrations for Rework.
Mike agreed to me to send him some questions about how he's incorporated sketching into his UX/IA work. Look for that in the coming weeks! Really excited to hear about his process.

I've been at the excellent Interop show in New York and have attended most of the Information Security and Risk Management sessions that have been delivered by a truly impressive line-up of speakers from all the big security firms.
It's not that surprising, but the common themes coming through are that cyber criminals are getting sneakier, threats are more sophisticated and dealing with them is increasingly complex.
This will be the second year that my colleague Adrienne Hall, general manager, Trustworthy Computing keynotes at RSA Europe. Last year she spoke about botnets being the backbone of cybercrime, highlighted the security practices IT professionals can continue to focus on, and mentioned the partnership with law enforcement as important to making progress. The subject of this year's keynote is more esoteric; Adrienne talked about trust relative to cloud computing; specifically, that cloud vendors need to demonstrate a variety of capabilities to increase confidence and stimulate further cloud adoption.
Posted by: Tim Rains, Director of Product Management, Trustworthy Computing
Today we released volume 11 of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIRv11), covering the period January to June 2011. With detailed analysis on 105 countries, it is the largest and most in-depth report on cyber-threats we have ever developed.
113 years and 362 days ago Andre-Jacques Garnerin sat on the edge of a hot air balloon several thousand feet above Monceau Park in Paris moments before making what was to become the first successful parachute jump.
Of course I can't be sure, but I'm guessing that one of the thoughts going through his mind was "Do I really want to do this?" Talk about a mission-critical decision! But he believed in the theory, trusted his invention and made history.
Similar to the intrepid parachuter, organisations perched on the edge of information technology decisions are often unsure as to whether they can wholly trust the provider(s).
Posted by: Adrienne Hall, General Manager, Trustworthy Computing
Over the last two weeks, members of our Trustworthy Computing Group spent some quality time in Europe. From London to Moscow with numerous stops in between, my colleagues have been sharing our latest Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR version 11) and what it tells us about the evolving cyber-threat landscape.
These trips give us a great opportunity to connect with customers and colleagues to learn what cyber-security issues are pressing in their locales. Meeting face-to-face also gives us a chance to share what we know about the cyber-security landscape as well as the best practices we see customers adopting to help maintain a trustworthy computing environment.
This year I think we've broken new ground in terms of connecting research with reality. Customers and industry partners over the last year have told us that when it comes to cyber-security, "zero-day attacks" are the great unknown. We noticed that customers had a good sense of what zero-days are (situations where an exploit is released before the vendor has issued a security update), but didn't always know how to prioritize them.
Posted by: Jacqueline Beauchere, Director, Trustworthy Computing Communications
Microsoft and Trustworthy Computing have been focused on raising public awareness and educating customers about online risks for years. We've created a wealth of educational resources, partnered with others, and improved our technology. We have a vision of creating a global "culture of online safety," where Internet security is second-nature—like locking doors and fastening seatbelts.
This year, to coincide with National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) and to help gauge industry progress, we conducted fresh research. The result is a new and innovative barometer, measuring the extent to which proven online tools and behaviors are being embraced by the digital public.

Terrell Davis remembers the feeling after tight end Shannon Sharpe left the Denver Broncos and joined the Ravens before the 2000 season. He vividly recalls the uncomfortable silence in the huddle and on the sideline, the blank looks exchanged between teammates, the lack of smiles and laughs that had been so commonplace even during trying times.
"I'm telling you, it stripped our offense and basically our team of a personality and an identity when he left," said Davis, who rushed for 7,607 yards and scored 65touchdowns in seven seasons with the Broncos. "It was amazing. I had never experienced that before. You're looking around in our team meetings, and it's quiet, and it's the same way walking into the huddle. John Elway left, too, but even when John left, we still had a personality and an identity with our offense, and Shannon was that guy. When Shannon left, it was night and day. It just didn't feel right."
Davis, now an analyst for NFL Network, likes the additions the Ravens have made since last season, but there is one factor that gives him pause. It's not the absence of Ray Lewis, the middle linebacker. It's the absence of Ray Lewis, the vocal and emotional team leader.

"I don't think it's overblown at all because I've experienced it," Davis said. "Ray's name was bigger than his play the last couple of years, but when you take him out of that defense, the intangibles that he brings, the accountability that he holds players to, that's a wild card to me."
The Ravens officially will start the post-Lewis and -Ed Reed era on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos in the NFL regular-season opener. By now, the shock of not having Lewis and Reed has worn off; the current Ravens feel they have plenty of veteran leadership to fill the void left by the two franchise stalwarts.
However, to some outside the organization, there remains a lingering question about how the Ravens will react on the field when things inevitably go wrong, when momentum shifts away and motivation is needed. That's where Lewis and Reed did some of their best work over the years.
"I don't think it's a concern, but I think it is a question," said former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, now an "NFL on CBS" analyst. "Until you face a little adversity, until you get into October and November and you play in the big games, you just don't know who is going to step forward. Every year, your team takes on a new identity, and part of that identity are the people that step up and take ownership of their team. They did lose some players that people looked to step up and say something in the huddle, on the practice field, in the locker room. A lot of those bodies are gone."
End of an era
The unprecedented offseason roster exodus for a Super Bowl champion included center Matt Birk (retired), wide receiver Anquan Boldin (traded) and safety Bernard Pollard (released). All were members of the leadership council that met regularly with coach John Harbaugh last season. All were willing to challenge coaches or chastise teammates if necessary.
But Lewis and Reed were different. They were the faces of the franchise for more than a decade, synonymous with the team's defensive excellence. Their personalities loomed over everything.
"It's going to be a huge vacuum without Ray there. The chemistry in the locker room without Ray, without Ed Reed, people are going to have to fill those roles," said Phil Savage, an executive with the Ravens from 1996 to 2004. "That's going to be the bigger question. Who are going to be those [three-] to seven-year veterans who can be leaned on to take ownership of that team?"
Though his dancing, chest thumping and Bible quoting earned him some outside criticism, Lewis was deeply admired by his teammates for his passion and preparation during his 17-year career. Teammates believed nobody worked harder or cared more. And he was a sounding board not just for Ravens, but also for opponents.
The mercurial Reed, now a Houston Texan after 11 seasons in Baltimore, was every bit as respected and revered as Lewis for his study habits, athletic gifts and willingness to help young players.
"I believe the guys they have on defense can definitely step up and do it, but you're talking about legends, guys who are both Hall of Famers and among the best to ever play the game," said former Ravens outside linebacker Peter Boulware, who played eight seasons with Lewis and three with Reed. "What you do on the field is half of it. How you carry yourself, what you do in the locker room is another part of it. One of the reasons they have been good year after year is they've had great leadership."
Not everybody agrees that it should be a concern. Former NFL defensive lineman Trevor Pryce, who played with the Ravens for parts of five seasons from 2006 to 2010, called the leadership questions "completely overblown."
"The leader of the team is John Harbaugh, and he has no problem telling you that. He's the guy in charge," Pryce said. "Fans are going to miss their leadership. The players are just going to miss them as people. That's how it is. Ray doesn't set the practice schedule. Ray doesn't say who gets paid and who doesn't. They'll be fine. Trust me. The defense is not young. Haloti [Ngata] is almost is in his 30s. Terrell [Suggs] is in his 30s. These are not kids we are talking about."
Moving forward
Former Ravens coach Brian Billick equated the Ravens' situation to where the San Francisco 49ers were after legendary coach Bill Walsh retired following a Super Bowl-winning 1998 season.
"I think there was motivation for them to prove that it wasn't just Bill Walsh," Billick said. "I'm sure everyone in that organization loves, respects and admires Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. But it can become a subtle motivator for everybody to latch onto. Guys say, 'You know, we're pretty good, too.'"
While acknowledging that they miss all the veterans from last year's team, players and coaches insist that it's been business as usual. Questions about leadership have been shrugged aside almost as quickly as a training camp interception or blown assignment. Players point to Flacco, Ray Rice, Vonta Leach, Torrey Smith, Marshal Yanda and Michael Oher as leaders on offense and Suggs, Ngata, Lardarius Webb and Corey Graham as go-to guys on defense. Acquisitions Chris Canty, Elvis Dumervil, Daryl Smith and Michael Huff also have brought a veteran presence.

Howard County Quick Facts
Howard District was created from Anne Arundel County by Chapter 22, Acts of 1838 (confirmed by Chapter 50, Acts of 1839). Although unrepresented in the General Assembly, the District enjoyed the status of a county. It officially was formed as a county in 1851 (Const. 1851, Art. VIII, sec. I). The County was named for John Eager Howard (1752-1827), Revolutionary War officer, Maryland governor, and statesman.
Howard County is located in the Maryland Piedmont region, with rolling hills making up most of the landscape. Its largest community is Columbia, though it is not an incorporated city under Maryland law; in fact, Howard County has no incorporated municipalities. The northern portion of Howard County is part of the outskirts of Baltimore, while the southern is more oriented toward Washington, D.C. Howard County is the only "Maryland-locked" county in the state, being the only county entirely enclosed by land and river boundaries with other Maryland counties.

Chandler police said an 18-year-old girl with special needs who walked away from an assisted care facility Sunday night has been found safe in Phoenix.
Officers did not release details of how Katie Stull, of Chandler, was discovered on Monday.
Stull did not return to the care facility after a walk about 7 p.m., according to Seth Tyler of the Chandler Police Department.
Tyler said Stull is deaf and has the mental capacity of a second-grader.
Chandler and Gilbert police conducted the search for Stull, Tyler said.
Officers said the case remains an open investigation through the police department's family crimes unit.

Amati ABN36 ContrabassoonLike all Amati instruments, this Contrabassoon is created using a combination of old world craftsmanship and modern production techniques. The result is an instrument that will satisfy the most discriminating player.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Bought the Amati as a retirement present 5 years ago. It is well made, in tune and good dynamic range. I'm an oboist who plays all the woodwind. Have played many concerts on contra over the last 5 years and have thoroughly enjoyed myself.
For someone who wants to experiment with contra or double this is probably the cheapest way in to an enjoyable musical experience
This contra plays amazingly well for the price.It needed some additional set up from a technician. Case is poor- large, bulky and poorly constructed. Recommend purchase of a padded gig bag.Intonation is largely ok. Beatiful finish on bell. I think you will be delighted.
I recently purchased this contrabassoon and received it about two weeks ago. The contra is a professional model, but I did not expect it to have all the bells and whistles that it came with. It has every key you could possibly want, along with some extras you wouldn't expect. The tone on this instrument is very nice and is capable of a large dynamic range while maintaining a steady pitch. I'm used to playing on a Mollenhauer that would rock a house off of its foundation and, I'm happy to report, this Amati is capable of the same seismic disturbances, and at a MUCH nicer price. It's no Puchner or Heckel, but for the price, it's well worth it. If price is a concern (and for most musicians, it really is), this may be the contra for you. It's the only one in its price range, but it plays like a much more expensive instrument. I'd recommend getting a different case (best to protect your investment upfront before any repairs need to be made!).
I have owned my Amati Contra for 2 years. It plays in tune with a good reed, and has a good 3+ octave range, I am still working on the fingerings for C5 and above in the 4th octave. I have found (for me) it speaks great throughout its range (I love playing the top and bottom ranges though). ((I went through several reeds before getting one that is good for me))
You will need a dolly or hand cart for it because it is heavy in the case, and a contra stand is very important for performanes and rehersals. Get different brands of reeds since all contras have their own personality. Make sure you gather as many fingering charts you can find to get the most of your contra... alternate fingerings are almost a must on faster passages(using the 3 octave keys).
Even though it doesn't have Fox or Heckel stamped on it I love playing it. It was an excellent investment for me.
I love my Amati Contra. It is a great instrument.
With the right reed and practice you will enjoy playing it like I do....
I purchased this contrabassoon for a community orchestra. As it is the cheapest one in the market (except for 'something like contrabassoon' from China), I did not expect much for the horn. I have played Fox and Adler contrabassoons, and this Amati can beat them regardless of the price.
However, contrary to my expectation, this horn was amazing! Firstly, Its tone was beautiful. With this horn I could produce well-tuned sounds of wide dynamics ranging from pp to fff with a proper reed.
As it was bought new, the sound is somehow edgy especially in the lower register. But I expect it will get round with aging.

Here in Southern Arizona many local runners are returning from the Boston Marathon.
Tucson News Now spoke with one local runner who just returned, flying in to Tucson International Airport late last night.
It was the third time Mary Ley has run in the Boston Marathon, which she describes as one of the greatest events out there.
After she crossed the finish line she joined her family at the Lennox Hotel, which was right across the street from where the bombs went off.
Ley was celebrating and taking pictures with her family as they waited for her sister to finish the race, when they heard a loud boom.
"My kids started panicking. We just told them a speaker went out. That it blew up outside. My niece's boyfriend went outside and that was when the second bomb went off, he came back and said there is blood everywhere and everybody is running and we knew something was really wrong," said Ley.
Ley's sister was able to borrow someone's cell phone to tell them she was ok. Ley told Tucson News Now that she is already qualified for the Boston Marathon next year and that she wants to return.
She hopes that everyone that still wants to run in the marathon is able to return.
