Libraries News

ERIC Full-text: The latest news on the full-text problems with the ERIC Documents (those ED entries) is that the peer-reviewed documents have been restored and should all be accessible through the database. The ERIC folks are adding more documents every week. If you would like to request a pdf to be returned online, please email ERICRequests@ed.gov with the record number, title, and link. Also, the Libraries retained the microfiche, so if you’d like a trip to the Main Library as well as down memory lane, you can still obtain the documents from the ERIC collection in the basement of the Main Library.
Hours for the Maps & Government Documents Library: With the semester in full swing, the Maps & Government Documents Library announced their hours: Monday – Thursday 8:30AM – 8PM; Friday 8:30AM – 6PM; Saturday 1 – 5PM; Sunday – Closed. The Maps & Government Documents Library is located in the sub–basement of the Main Library.
