This past Tuesday, the Carnegie Foundation unveiled its college classification overhaul. The new classification is hoped to bring greater precision to the categorizing of more than 4,000 institutions. On its website, the Foundation also programmed online tools for creating customized lists of peer institutions.

Group blogs from Academic Computing are now available for USF “groups”: departments, services, etc. Multi-authors are then possible. Cost is $200 per year. See http://usg.blog.usf.edu/2005/10/31/introducing-group-blogs/ for more details.

OCLC FirstSearch is currently experiencing slow response time problems. There is currently no time estimate available on when this will be repaired but they are working on it!

JSTOR is a full-text database specializing in older issues of long-standing, reputed scholarly journals.

During 2006, they will add new titles to their “Health & General Science” collection. Some of these new titles are Environmental Health Perspectives, Epidemiology, European Journal of Epidemiology and Epidemiology and Infection.

Further titles will be added to this collection over the next two years. Journals selected will be broadly relevant to research in public health to complement other sets of titles in biostatistics, health policy, and population studies present in JSTOR.

Newly available at the PCC/USF Library:

How to speak up, set limits and say no without losing your job or your friends. Boulder, CO : CareerTrack Publications, c1991.
