Cannell Library is offering online access to the following new subscriptions for the 2007-2008 academic year. These are enhancements to the “click library” of resources that are available to all Clark students, faculty, and staff from a computer anywhere, 24/7.

These subscriptions have been paid with one-time funds, so a continuing appropriation is needed to renew them for next year. Usage statistics for these and other electronic resources are being collected so that the most popular resources will be retained if cuts need to be made later.

Access these electronic resources and others via the Cannell Library web site: www.clark.edu/Library. Reference/instruction librarians are happy to work with you and your students to make good use of the excellent scholarly information included in these new resources. Call x2375 for assistance or contact Joan Carey, Roxanne Dimyan, Zachary Grant, Kitty Mackey.
