Databases: One Dropped, One Renamed

Over the semester break, one of the Library's databases was renamed. The American Humanities Index was renamed the Humanities International Index. This name change reflects the international content that is held within.

Our subscription to General Reference Center Gold has expired. Most of the content for this database can be found in the more academically oriented Expanded Academic Index ASAP.

All databases/online periodical indexes can be found at: http://www.mhc.ab.ca/library/articles.htm.

Student Art Displays in Library

The Vera Bracken Library is pleased to be hosting several students' artistic creations in our facility.

The faculty, public, staff and students are invited to view these works that are displayed in the Library's Photocopier Centre and Reference Collection.

Two new handouts include: Flash Drives for Windows XP and Storage Options for Students. Both pages are under the newly created Technology heading.
