Credo Reference Now Available

We've just added a subscription to Credo Reference. This online resource covers every major subject and includes titles from the world's leading academic publishers. You can search hundreds of encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, quotations, subject-specific titles, images, audio files, and videos. Later this month, we will be adding records for individual reference books to our library catalog, but for now, you can access Credo from our Databases A-Z list or directly from http://cenproxy.mnpals.net/login?url=http://www.credoreference.com.

Farewell to Ebrary and Mango, Hello to Ebooks from EBSCO

With the end of the 2013 fiscal year on June 30, the Library is cancelling our subscriptions to the ebook package from Ebrary and the Mango language learning system. 

Ebrary is being replaced by a subscription to the Academic Collection through Ebooks from EBSCO.  This large collection of ebooks is paid for by the student technology fee.  The records for this collection will be searchable through our library catalog within the next few weeks. 

The Mango online language learning system was also paid for by the student technology fee.  Low usage led the Tech Fee Committee to invest in other technology for the coming fiscal year.  If you miss Mango, please speak to your Student Senate representatives.
