No Halloween masks

Hi all

I ran across a student in the library with a Halloween mask on today. I asked him to remove it and he did with no problem. However, please keep in mind to tell students who may do this to take off all masks so that we can see their face. In lieu of campus shootings around the country and other incidents, we do not want anyone to panic or create chaos.

Thanks

African American Inventors

Finally, the website we need. Take a look at http://inventors.about.com/od/blackinventors/Famous_Black_Inventors.htm
I found this from using the NCSU Patent Library that I learned about at NCLA. Check it out, too. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/ptdl/. It's much easier to search than the USPTO.

Using Google Books

A student needed historical information on Parris Island Military Base. He had already checked the military database in NC LIVE and couldn't find anything so wanted a book. We searched the online catalog and couldn't find anything. So, we tried the Google Book search. Since the full text of the book is searched via Google Books we found that we did indeed have some books in our library about Parris Island. Since only the record is searched by the online catalog, we weren't finding them. With the link in Google Books to WorldCat we could go right into our online catalog and find the book. He found several books he could use for his paper and left the library with a big relieved smile on his face!

Dr. Seuss

The question of finding criticisms for Dr. Seuss came up in the coordinators meeting. I did find one criticism in Literature Resource Center, however it is written by Dr. Seuss explaining how he came up with the idea for writing The Cat in the Hat. There are also some references to Dr. Seuss in Children's Literature Review, however the volume 100 housed in O'Kelly is not on the shelf. I have found some more titles to order and will update here when they come in.

They (Gale) anticipates the problem being resolved within the hour. It is currently 12:40PM. This message will be deleted when the problem is fixed.
