Comings and goings in Ref

There hasn't bee a whole lot of activity in the way of new materials filtering through Reference lately.

However, we did receive a new addition to the True Crime section.

Congress A to Z is published by CQ Press, and "offers accessible information about the inner workings of the legislative branch...," as well as keeping tabs on America's Most Wanted with "biographies of influential members."


From the Department of Redundancy Department


A special shout-out is in order for Keli from TEEN (Props!). On a recent fact-finding mission that brought her to our collection, she noticed that we had two different sets of the Encyclopedia Judaica. The older set was housed in the 296 area, while the latest edition can be found in 909. The previous edition has been donated to the Friends Group's Book Sale.


Well We're Movin' On Up


In other Encyclopedic news, the Encyclopedia Americana has moved from the 031 area to the Ready Reference shelf, right next to the World Book Encyclopedia. Details for the housewarming party will be made available when known; bookmarks are an appropriate gift.



Phil'er Up Please
