More Computers Added to Library

The library has been busy this summer adding computers and additional workstations on the second floor. With the expansion of Java City, the first floor computer lab has moved to the second floor. Besides the new computer lab, the library has added 40additional computing workstations on the second floor. This is in direct response to last spring's student survey which stated that the library needs more computers. The library plans to update the furniture and add some more computer workstations in the near future.

EBSCOhost Database updates

Over the summer, EBSCOhost databases upgraded to EBSCOhost 2.0! While your favorite databases may now look a bit different (EBSCO databases include Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, MLA International Bibliography, PsycINFO, Sports Discus, and many others), the content of each database remains the same. Improvements based on extensive user testing were made to the search interface screens and other database functions .
