The library has added two new databases:

EdITLib (Education & Information Technology Digital Library): provides access to peer-reviewed and published international journal articles and conference papers on the latest research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of Educational Technology and E-Learning. Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education.

Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database : includes information about children's literature from over 38 quality review media including the ALAN Review, BookList, KIRKUS, National Science Teachers Association, and VOYA. Find books by subject, age level, genre, and much more. Includes Reading Measurement Programs (Lexile, AR, Scholastic Reading Counts), Curriculum Tools, and links to over 240,000 web pages featuring children's authors and illustrators.

Access these databases from the library's "Find Databases A-Z" link.

The University Libraries are celebrating Black History Month 2011 with an exhibit on the 2nd floor (near Circulation Desk) and a Web exhibit. The 2nd floor exhibit features photographs and books about the national theme: African Americans and the Civil War. The books are available for checkout. It will be available through the month of February 2011.

The Web exhibit serves as a starting point for learning about the vast contributions made by African Americans during the Civil War. Selected books, Web sites and other materials are available for those wishing to research this important topic.
