Happy New Year! We wanted to let you know that we have three new online databases available both in the library and through remote access.
1) Issues and Controversies is from Facts.com and its format is potentially useful for debate research among other things.
2) World's Best Poetry is from Roth Publishing.
3) Columbia Granger's World of Poetry is from Columbia Publishing.

We have both poetry databases for a year on trial basis. We encourage you to use them and give us feedback on their format and usefulness. As always we have lots of great new books and we welcome suggestions.
