New Trial Database...

A trial of the new American Psychological Association (APA) database, PsycBOOKS, is now available on the Bailey Library website through March 17, 2005. This full text database of books and chapters from the APA features over 600 books: more than 500 APA books with copyright dates from 1950 - 2003, including 100 out-of-print books; 75 archival resources in psychology; and the exclusive electronic release of more than 1,500 entries from the APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology. For the entire list of books included in PsycBOOKS, visit the APA website: http://www.apa.org/psycbooks/covlist.html.

To access PsycBooks go to the library website, www.sru.edu/library, select Journal Articles/Databases, then chose Databases by Trial Subscription.

Have you heard what Michael Gorman has to say about blogs? If you don't know who Michael Gorman is, he's the President-elect of the ALA (American Library Association).
Anyways, here's the link: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA502009?display=BackTalkNews&industry=BackTalk&industryid=3767&verticalid=151&&

Sounds like Michael Gorman is judging all bloggers by the "efforts" of a few--but he (and the bloggers) are certainly entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that the blogosphere, if you look past the adolescent angst and Paris Hilton's Blackberry hack, may well turn out to be a bastion of free speech and fulfill journalistic functions sometimes co-opted in the contemporary corporate media world. Blogs might turn out to be the primary sources of the future, like the diaries and journals of the past. This blog, however, does not aspire to such lofty goals--we are just spreading the library news. Thanks for posting!
