News from the library

From Ruth Riley
Director of Library Services

Beginning in January 2007, we will gain access to all Oxford University Press e-journals due to Thomas Cooper Library's participation in a Carolina Consortium deal. There are approximate 190 titles available. Please see the following link for the list. If you scroll down, you'll see listings by subject, including Life Sciences and Medicine. http://www.oxfordjournals.org/

The Library has added a new Online Tutorials page to our website. Several online tutorials are available that provide an overview of an e-resource and can help you improve your searching skills. You can access this page by clicking Tutorials in the left navigation bar located on every Library web page. http://uscm.med.sc.edu/tutorials.htm
