  • Global Issues in Context - New database
    November 24, 2009

    Because Randall Library currently subscribes to the "Opposing Viewpoints" database we now have free access to "Global Issues in Context".  This database found on the "Articles and eResources" A-Z list uses a wealth of resources to explain the historical and contemporary conditions necessary to understand global issues, conflicts and events.

  • CSA Illumnia and ProQuest database enhancements
    August 21, 2009

     

    • MLA Citation Format Change—The citation generator is being updated to reflect the MLA documentation style found in the seventh edition.
    • Author Naming Adjustments—In the citation generator area, author names will be presented in Last Name, First Name format. This is only for content that captures the author meta-data in a more granular format. This change reflects content from 2007 moving forward and will be added to archival content over time. Instances such as “staff writer” will not fit this format.
