SocINDEX, Britannica Online, and Much More

It's July, which brings a new fiscal year and many new online resources. The Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) has provided us with access to Britannica Online, Alt HealthWatch, ERIC, Points of View Reference Center, Science Reference Center, Health Source, and much more.


The library has also purchased access to SocINDEX with Full Text, which adds hundreds of journals titles to our collection.

You can find these resources on our Databases A-Z link from the library home page. Or browse journal titles in your subject area. If you find the A-Z list overwhelming, try our new subject pages.

Century Library Staff Win Award

Library staff won the first ever Century Team Recognition Award for their hard work in relabeling and shelving thousands of books reclassed from Dewey Decimal to Library of Congress call numbers during the summer and fall of 2008. The project was overwhelming, but staff persevered.
