The John P. Isché Library re-opened post-Katrina one year ago yesterday. After being closed for almost 10 months, it was a relief to return. It’s amazing what has been accomplished in that year, from inventorying the entire collection (books, journals, and rare material) to the expansion of resources and services.
Our new books display is back after a long hiatus!

Do you know about RefWorks? It is an online bibliographic management tool. In plain English, it’s a place to save your references for a paper or research, and later format them into bibliographies. You can even import articles directly from PubMed, EbscoHost, and a many other databases. With RefWorks you can say goodbye to writing down citations & thumbing through the APA style manual an hour before the paper is due, RefWorks does the work for you!
