Check out SEC Financial Explorer for Visual Displays of Data
Greetings, Check out the Securities and Exchange Commission's New Financial Explorer
http://209.234.225.154/viewer/home/
powered by Interactive Data. "Interactive data pinpoints all of the facts and figures trapped inside dense financial documents. It allows you to immediately get the information you want, and instantly work with it. For example, you can compare this year's information to performance in past years (both through raw numbers and visual diagrams) or drill down into how a company arrived at a given number - however you wish to slice and dice the data." Quote from Financial Explorer website,
http://209.234.225.154/viewer/home/ retrieved February 23, 2008
Three dozen companies have "joined the SEC's test group and have agreed to voluntarily submit their annual, quarterly and other reports with interactive data for a period of one year. These companies are helping the markets and the SEC determine the best ways to make interactive data serve America's investors," according to SEC's Interactive Data Website, http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/interactivedata.htm

Business Leaders Poll re How Colleges Should Assess and Improve Student Learning
Greetings, The Association of American Colleges and Universities website, www.aacu.org, describes a recent national survey which "shows that employers see a need for significant improvement in the skills and knowledge of recent college graduates. Employers especially seek improved skills in global knowledge, self-direction, writing, and critical thinking. Employers surveyed also find college transcripts unhelpful and reject multiple choice tests and institutional assessments in favor of qualitative evaluations of internships, senior projects, and the results of individual essay tests that measure students’ abilities to write, solve problems, and think analytically." Quote from www.aacu.org, retrieved January 26, 2008. The AACU website links to the study, How Should Colleges Assess and Improve Student Learning? Employers' Views of the Accountability Challenge, A Survey of Employers Conducted on Behalf of The Association of American Colleges and Universities by Peter D. Hart Research Associates, Inc., Jan 9, 2008, embargoesd for release January 22, 2008

Instant Message a Librarian
Have you ever had a quesiton for a librarian and been so wrapped up in your online research that you didn't want to pick up the phone? Well, now you can IM a librarian without having to disrupt your research process. Simply type your question into the Meebo window and communicate instantly with a research professional during normal Reference Hours.
New electronic resources
The online catalog provides access to a variety of electronic and print resources. You can find electronic resources, either free or paid for by the library, by searching GoldPac, the library's online catalog. We have added three new ones:
Alternative Farming Systems Information Center. As organic foods and other consumer movements continue to grow, business opportunities follow. Find out more about about the technology and the possibilities that alternative farming methods provide.
Nuclear Energy (a website of the U.S. Dept. of Energy). Although it does not produce greenhouse gasses, nuclear energy presents other challenges and possible hazards. This U.S. Government website contains many full-text documents, such as Congressional Hearings, news reports, press releases, and more. There's more to energy policy and technology than what you find here, but this website provides essential information for a well-rounded examination of the topic.
American Psychological Society: Teaching Resources . A list of links to teaching materials (exercises, online tutorials, etc.) for professors and teachers to use in psychology classes (especially introductory ones). Includes information on pharmacology, neuroscience, as well as most aspects of psychology; some links lead to full-text of classic works in the field that have entered the public domain (that means on the web, full-text, for free). Although mostly of interest to psychology faculty, the glossaries, slide shows, and other full-text offerings may interest students as well.
