We have a new online reference title, Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History.
A description from their site states that “the Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout history in a far-reaching, four-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no other text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. With over 650 biographies of influential women and over 600 topical articles covering topics such as geography and history, culture and society, organizations, movements, and gender studies, Women in World History is the definitive reference work in the field.”
Access to this title can be found in the alphabetical database list, the General & Reference database list, and the Government, History & Politics database list.
Assumption College's Chronicle site license provides all employees with IP access to The Chronicle's Web site, including all the commentary and critiques published in The Chronicle Review. To help build awareness of all the latest essays posted online every week, there is now a Chronicle Review newsletter.
Every week, the newsletter delivers quick summaries and links to articles and essays on intellectual debates and controversies, along with critical commentaries and maniacal musings on the arts, books, culture, politics, religion, and pretty much any topic that is worth some thoughtful discussion and reflection.
Subscribing to the newsletter is free and easy. Go to The Chronicle Review Newsletter to sign up. (A free Chronicle account is required.) For a list of all of The Chronicle's free e-mail newsletters, including the popular ACADEME TODAY, go to http://chronicle.com/help/emails?sl0108
The library staff is asking your assistance with an issue we are having with printing Power Point slides on the Library's printer. The Power Point printing default is set to print only one slide per page. Students will usually select the default and disregard the option to print multiple slides per page, therefore using many extra sheets of paper and holding up other students in the print queue.
