Recently both the APA and the MLA updated their citation style guides.  For more detailed information on these citation styles, we have print copies of the new guides in the library or you can view some of our online citation resources.  Check out the short slide show highlight the a few of the major changes in citation styles.

NY Times Best Illustrated Books of 2009

The New York Times just released their annual Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 2009. Check out the slideshow to see which 10 they picked! I think my favorite is “White Noise” by David A. Carter (pictured). It is rare that pop-up books receive much acclaim. One can never get too much of a good pop-up book.

E-books have arrived.

As you have been searching the SAU library catalog you may have noticed “E-books” in place of call numbers. Do not fear the E-books. We have gradually been adding more and more electronic books throughout 2009. Just click on the title of the book, then click on E-book, and follow it from the library catalog to the electronic version of the book.

You are able to flip through each page as if you were looking at the physical copy of the book itself. You can even search the entire contents of the books of keywords or phrases. We recently added 41 nursing books to our E-book collection.
