JSTOR Adds
Law to Collection
JSTOR
has added 30 journals in the form of Arts & Sciences IV. Eventually, a
minimum of 100 journals will be included in this latest collection, which
should be completed in 2006. The collection focuses on areas new to JSTOR,
including law, psychology, and public policy and administration. Arts &
Sciences IV also includes a selection of new education journals. To access
these journals, go to the
JSTOR
link on
the library's
Online Databases
page.
Also
new to Williams Library is
WDI Online
from
the World Bank.
WDI Online
is a data source on
the global economy. It contains statistical data for over 550 development
indicators and time series data from 1960-2002 for over 200 countries and 18
country groups. Data includes social, economic, financial, natural
resources, and environmental indicators. Results can be scaled, indexed
against a particular year, viewed by percentage change, and charted. These
features plus data export options in standard formats like Excel make
WDI Online
a useful tool for researching developmental data.

A
Brand New Look this Fall
A
new online catalog system will premiere in South Dakota this fall. It will
provide the latest in library technology and will be very user friendly.
Entirely Web-based, the search page is being designed by South Dakota
reference librarians to meet the needs of patrons statewide, but will also
be customized for our own library. One question we have for you is how would
you like to be trained to use this new system? Options include one-on-one,
group sessions, print instructions, or something else you might
suggest. Contact Lea Simon at
simonl@northern.edu to express
your training needs.
