On Sunday, March 4, VUIT will be updating the authentication system used by Vanderbilt [Ping] starting at 6am. VUIT will be doing this as a rolling update so we do not expect any down time. Areas that this affects are DiscoverLibrary, Proxy server, and several Vanderbilt systems that require log in. LTDS will keep an eye on the systems, but if you experience any issues, please let us know by submitting an INFORM. Thank you.

Bring an Idea to Life with 3D Printing
Even though the Medical Library is closed for renovations, 3D printing is still available. Want to have something printed? Here is what you do:
Email a link from a 3D printing file repository –┬áThingiverse, YouMagine, NIH 3D Print Exchange, etc. — or attach your file (.STL or .OBJ extensions only) to ebl3dprint@vanderbilt.edu.
Want to try creating something yourself? Tinkercad, an easy-to-use online 3D CAD design tool, is a good place to start.
We will take a look at the request and consult with you about printability, size, resolution, color, and timeframe. Then when it is ready to be picked up, we will send you an email.
Currently, there is no charge for smaller print jobs.
Recover Deleted Items in Outlook
You have been working away in your Outlook, trying to clean up space. The Delete key is a wonderful thing for this process, but suddenly you realize something. You have deleted emails you did not want to delete! Oh no! Is there anyway this can be retrieved???
Well, never fear! IT is here!┬áDeleted items are held in Recover Deleted items for 30 days before being permanently deleted. Right click the “deleted items” folder and select “recover deleted items” and choose to recover those items. Voila! You are back in business!
Lights, Camera, Action!
We now have the ability to stream and record video in the Community Room. We are still refining the recording and conversion process, but let us know if you would like video of your meeting or event.
Microsoft Updates
Earlier this year, Microsoft pushed out an update for all of their products to address a security issue. This update is significant in size and will require some time to be applied. Please allow your computer to update. It may even restart a number of times and may take a couple of hours to complete. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this must be done to assure the security of your data. Thank you.
