April 2012

Happy end-of-the-spring-semester to everyone in Philosophy! In conjunction with collection development I am processing the last faculty requests from the department submitted to us by Matt Kisner. These final requests left a bit of the allocated money unspent. With this I've purchased an e-book for that might be of interest to the faculty and students in Philosophy. The Routledge dictionary of philosophy (2010) can now be checked out to your favorites tablet. I've also selected a few titles from the Cambridge series, Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy and Biology.

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews: An Electronic Journal

Although the NDPR is certainly well known to memb ers of the department, I am new to it and am finding it a valuable tool in my liaison work. If anyone in the department knows of others sources for reviews that I should be be checking as part of the selection process, please share them with me.

"Book A Librarian"

USC students, faculty and staff who want help with their research can make an appointment for a free consultation service that provides a person-to-person session with a librarian. The sessions can help identify ways to access and navigate electronic resources; develop search strategies; discover and locate primary source materials; search the web for relevant and reliable information; and locate materials for a literature review.
