Friday morning 12/21/2007 between the hours of 9 am – 12 noon the M D. Anderson Library will be without running water. We will be having some upgrades done to the water handling system during these times. This work is specific to the Library only. All other buildings in the area will have running water.
Literature Resource Center: New Interface
The database, Literature Resource Center, has changed its search interface. Information about the database and the new search interface is available online. There is also a guided tour.
New Database: Roper Center Public Opinion Archives
The Library now provides access to Roper Center Public Opinion Archives, which is a database of polls conducted in the U.S. and overseas. Its key component is the iPOLL Databank, which is organized at the question level and provides tools to sift through nearly half a million questions asked in national public opinion surveys from 1935 to present. Users can also search at the dataset level and download some of the public opinion studies conducted in the U.S. and abroad.
Federated Search Tool Down
The library's federated search tool (the Article Search box on the Libraries homepage) will be down Sunday 12/16 – Noon on Tuesday 12/18 for maintenance. The tool will be available again on Tuesday at noon.
