The Library has three new databases that we are excited about:

1. Byki language-learning software is a powerful and personalized language-learning system, designed to advance your new language proficiency by expanding your vocabulary reservoir.
2. JSTOR includes core journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology, as well as in other key fields in the humanities and social sciences. This collection also contains titles in ecology, mathematics, and statistics.
3. The Gross Anatomy Dissector makes possible the teaching and learning of all anatomy, from head to toe, in a rigorous, yet approachable manner. The anatomy is presented precisely as a first-year medical student encounters it, dissects it, and is assessed on it.

Take a look at them from the Articles and More link on the Library’s home page.

Library Services:  May is here and that means Finals.  We have lots of quiet study space, group study rooms, and we are open until 10 pm Monday-Thursday. If you have that last minute paper to finish we can help with that as well, our databases and catalog can help you find just the right sources for your paper.  Remember the librarians at the Reference Desk are available to help with any research question.  Get started here http://dept.harpercollege.edu/library/
