We're adding three new databases this Fall. All can be accessed from the DATABASES link on the library's homepage:
The Oxford English Dictionary. Second Edition, Third Edition...it's all here in addition to latest new entries. You can browse, select how to display entries, and find a term when you know the meaning but have forgotten the term. A page with sample assignments to help you learn the ins and outs of using OED Online can be found here: http://dictionary.oed.com/learning/university/worksheet.html
Historical Statistics was last updated 30 years ago by the Census Bureau and has now finally been updated again (and expanded) by several academic organizations and a slew of scholars. It's also in electronic format so the data can be tabulated and charted for different research purposes. New research and new data contained in this new "Millenial Edition" make this an exciting addition to our database offerings.
AP Images is a treasure trove of over a million photos from the Associated Press, some dating back to the 1820's. The photos can be searched by keyword, location and date. The Help pages are clear and offer a good introduction to what is available as well as how to use the images once you find them.
