New Library Stuff for the Fall 2010 Semester


Welcome (or welcome back – as the case may be). All sorts of exciting things have been happening in the library, so here is a brief rundown of some changes you should know about:

You probably already noticed that the Library web page has had a makeover. The links and tools are still there, but you may need to use the drop down tabs at the top of the page to find a few things.

We had a flood on the first floor of the library (for details review some of the posts from July and August). Most of the books with call numbers that start with A-F will be unavailable and should be requested on Interlibrary Loan.

Many databases (including Academic Search Complete, JSTOR and Opposing Viewpoints) have made changes to their interfaces. All the old features are there, and a few new ones, but it may take a moment of looking around to find all the features you are used to using.

The Plattsburgh State Art Museum has been busy and we have had several new pieces of art installed in the library this summer. The picture is of the new work hanging in the Reference Room alcove.

Please stop by (physically or electronically) and check out some of the new stuff.
