==>  NEW DATABASE: EDUCATION RESEARCH COMPLETE

The library now subscribes to Education Research Complete, which covers all
levels of education from early childhood to higher education, and all
educational specialties.  The database provides full text for more than 750
journals, and includes full text for more than 100 books and monographs,
and for numerous education-related conference papers.  Coverage is from
1984-present.

Access Education Research Complete from the library's Databases page by
title or subject "Education." Because it is available through library
subscription, IP address restrictions apply: from off campus, you'll need
to enter your Campus UIN at the Easy Proxy page.  Please contact Nancy
Schafer, Education Reference Librarian, at nschafer@odu.edu with any
questions or comments you may have about this database.

==> "SPORTS WRITING: MORE THAN A GAME" -- FEBRUARY 6

The Friends of the Library panel discussion, "Sports Writing: More Than A
Game," will be held in room 102 of the Mills Godwin Building on Tuesday,
February 6, 2007, at 7:00 p.m.  A panel of practicing sports writers -- Jim
Ducibella (a sportswriter at The Virginian-Pilot since 1981), Bob Molinaro
(who has written a column for more than 20 years) and Paul White (a member
of The Virginian-Pilot sports staff since 1993) -– will debate ethical
issues, such as:
     * Should sports writers be fans or boosters on behalf of local teams?
     * Is it worth going to jail over a sports story to protect an
anonymous source?
     * Young athletes, women athletes: do they merit deferential treatment
by sports writers?

This event is free and open to the public.  For additional information
please contact Fern McDougal at 683-4141 or via e-mail at fmcdouga@odu.edu.
