New Library News Blog Launched

The library has just launched a new version of this news site! This site will remain up, but to read all new posts please visit us on the new blog.

The new site is built on upgraded software, which will make it easier for us to post new content and will allow our readers to comment on the posts. So come on over and have a look!

Silent Study Areas

Please remember that the entire third floor of the library and the Special Collections area on the fourth floor are meant to be silent study areas. During this busy time leading up to exams, this rule is especially important!

• Group study should not be done in these areas


• No cell phone conversations

Please respect your fellow students! Be quiet on the third floor.

RSS (Real Simple Syndiation) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing web content that a user "subscribes" to.

An RSS reader allows you to view information from multiple web sites in a single interface.

You can use RSS to keep up to date on news headlines, and RSS can also help keep up with research. You can:

• view table of contents from new journals issues
• discover new journal articles on a specific topic (from multiple journals)
• view news on general topics such as science, technology, business, health, etc. from Google, New York Times, BBC, etc.
• follow blog discussions on certain topics.
