Try out Reference Universe

The library has a service designed to help you find background or introductory information on your research topics.

Reference Universe allows you to search the library’s expensive specialized electronic and print reference collection in a much deeper way. Whereas library catalog searches offer title or subject heading access, Reference Universe searches the complete back-of-the-book indexes and article titles to over 16,000 reference works--then matches those to our local holdings. It offers a way to search the contents of the many specialized encyclopedias and other reference resources we offer. Give it a try! Access is available now (on campus) at http://refuniv.odyssi.com/

Leader-Telegram online archive trial through Oct. 12

Search back issues of the Leader-Telegram now through Oct. 12, during which time McIntyre Library is engaged in a free trial of the newspapers online archive service. To access the Leader Telegram archive, go to (http://www.leadertelegram.com/) and click on Archive and Online Edition, on the left side of the screen. This trial will only work if you are on campus. Please note that there is a limited number of users who can access this service at one time, so if it's busy, try again later. Please let us know what you think about this service.

We urge you to check this out and tell us what you think. Let us know if you find this useful by commenting on this post.
