Sally Murray — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:41:18 +0000

Tuesday, December 6, from 16h55-18h15, the AUP Library has the great pleasure to invite the community to our next Open House, this time with Vice President and Dean of the University, Neil Gordon. Neil Gordon has written three novels: The Gun Runner’s Daughter (2000), The Sacrifice of Isaac (2003), and The Company You Keep (2004). His latest novel, The Company You Keep, is being made into a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford. On December 6, Neil Gordon will discuss his three novels and will talk about the author’s role when a novel becomes a motion picture. Students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend. Exceptionally, the Library will make the main reading room available for this event.

Database Ebook ‘Google-like’ search trial

Sally Murray — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 07:05:52 +0000

Due to student demand, the library is currently testing an integrated search engine that will search many databases and ebooks simultaneously. The search may seem to take a bit longer than usual – it is searching SEVENTEEN ebook providers and databases with ONE SEARCH! Give it a try.

You are NOT getting all of the results from each one but only the most relevant. Please let us know what you think of it. Write to library@aup.edu and tell us your opinion of ONE SEARCH. If you would like to learn how to use it better, look at this help page or make an appointment to see Sally Murray.
