Flash Drives at the Reference DeskSaturday, June 7th, 2008 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
The flash drives now available at the Reference Desk are DataTravelers from Kingston, and cost $8.00. They can hold 1 gigabyte of information - which is the equivalent of almost 900 3-1/2" floppy disks! Using your flash drive on a computer (whether in the Library or somewhere else) is as easy as saving to a floppy disk or the hard drive. Just plug it in (all Library computers have USB ports on the front), browse to your drive, and click save. If you have any questions about flash drives in general, or need help using one on a computer in the Library, please contact the Reference Desk.

Searchable from either your home or the library, this database has full-text information on thousands of authors and their works. Content is broken down into a number of categories (plot summaries, synopses and work overviews, author biographies, literary journals, poems, short stories, classic texts, author interview and more). All search results are gathered into convenient tabs for easy organization. Information can best be found in one of two ways:
Other features include a Literary Glossary (for definitions of literature-related words), a timeline of works and their historical context, a research guide, help with citing sources, and frequently-updated books and author highlights. Access to Literary Reference Center is funding by NMRLS. For help accessing or using the database, please contact the Reference Desk.

Digital Audio Book DownloadsThursday, October 12th, 2006 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
For more information on using Overdrive through the Library, come to our Downloadable Audio Book Workshop on Oct. 18! Or, stop into the library for a demonstration - the Reference Department now has a download station set up in the library, where you can download right to your mp3 player. This is great for people with no computer at home, or those with slow connections or Macs. Posted in Computer, Overdrive, Programs | 2 Comments » |
