2 New Databases Added
June 11th, 2010The Library has just added two new database subscriptions:
The Times Digital Archive, 1785-1985
Contains full facsimile images of either a specific article or a complete page from The Times (London). The entire newspaper is captured, with all articles, advertisements and illustrations/photos divided into categories to facilitate searching.
Sabin Americana, 1500-1926
Contains books, pamphlets, serials and other documents about the Americas that provide original accounts of exploration, trade, colonialism, slavery and abolition, the western movement, Native Americans, military actions and much more. Based on Joseph Sabin's landmark bibliography, this collection is a cornerstone in the study of the western hemisphere.
Access these databases from the library's "Find Databases A-Z" link by title or subject.
OCCS Lab & Mini Learning Commons moving
June 11th, 2010Construction activity for the coming Learning Commons is picking up. For you, our patrons, this means changes in where services and resources will be.
The OCCS computer lab located in the Perry Library will be open this weekend but will close on Monday, June 14th. The lab equipment and services will be relocated to the rear of the 2nd floor in the Perry Library and will once again be available for use on Wednesday, June 16th.
The Mini Learning Commons will close on Wednesday, June 16th, be relocated to the 2nd floor, and re-open on Friday, June 18th.
We will provide signs around the library for your assistance.
Thank you for your patience during this development.
