Hi Everyone,
Is anyone else sick and tired of "Winter"! I'll be glad when Spring finally comes.
Starting this last month, the LiLI Databases (these are funded by the State of Idaho) have changed to ProQuest databases. Take a look by going to CSI Library's homepage (www.csi.edu/library).
The main general online resource for most of us to use is ProQuest Central. This database combines about 30 different subject specific databases so you can just perform one search that looks in all of these databases. Or you can select specific databases from a list to narrow your results.
Another new resource provided by the State Library is ProQuest Heritage Guest Online. This is a great genealogy tool from which you can search census , PERSI, Revolutionary War, and Freedman's Bank records.
Another great LiLI resource is the Auto Repair and Reference Center database. Great how-to diagrams are available as well as repair procedures, service bulletins and recalls, and wiring diagrams. Take a look next time you are having issues with your vehicle.
Well, those are just a few of the changes for online resources available for CSI students. Have a good semester!
