Good news! You can now listen to over 700 audiobooks on your iPod!

This week our audiobook provider, Netlibrary, added many of their book titles in mp3 format allowing iPods to play them for the first time. You can browse a complete list of the mp3 titles and then search the catalog for the title you want. Or you can go directly to the Netlibrary audiobook center and browse for interesting titles. (You must be on campus or logged on to access audiobook downloads. Some titles are still not available in mp3 format).

The Libraries added the Lexis Nexis Statistical Datasets to our suite of online resources this week. Take it for a test drive and let us know what you think!

The libraries are busy adding new articles, new full-text content, new search tools, everything you need to answer your research questions.

The latest additions are listed below, and can all be accessed from the UW Libraries’ Articles & Databases page:

1. Sage Premiere Full-Text journal collection: includes over 515 titles from 1999 to the present.
2. Lexis Nexis Statistical Datasets: allows quick and easy access to a variety of data and statistics and allows for easy manipulation and export of data into Excel.
3. Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management Index
4. Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts
5. Early English Books Online
6. Wellesley Index
7. Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (purchased in cooperation with the Wyoming State Library)
8. Grove Art and Music: increased number of concurrent users to 3 and 5, respectively, as a result of high user demand.
9. IEEE’s full IEEE Electronic Library: UW now has access to all of IEEE’s publications on the Xplore platform.
10. Petroleum Abstracts: UW previously had a truncated version of this database.

We are actively adding titles to our wish list and purchasing new material for the collection. If you would like us to add something, just let us know!
