Sonia Wade Lorenz, our evening and week-end Library Assistant, presented a poster last week at the Society of Florida Archivists Annual Conference in Sarasota.

The Library is holding open door, hands-on seminars on popular topics. These seminars are open to all students, faculty and staff; no registration required. The seminars are cancelled if no one is present 10 minutes after the hour.
The USF Libraries have switched some of the databases by vendor ProQuest to a new interface this week. Those databases include ABI-Inform, Hoover’s Company Profiles, ERIC, AGRICOLA, MEDLINE, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, among many others.
Some databases still have the old interface available (like ABI-Inform) but expect them to be switched to the new format soon. The Cambridge Scientific Abstracts databases will be phased out in a similar manner (ERIC, AGRICOLA, MEDLINE, etc.)
To learn more about the new interface, come see your Poly librarian or take a look at the ProQuest training materials.
Here are the latest arrivals for the month of March. As always, Polytechnic titles are located in the New Books shelves in the back of the room. FIPR materials are shelved immediately in their proper stacks. The books from the circulating collections of both libraries can be requested using the interlibrary loan system.

Gale is developing topical digital collections of primary source material under the series, Archives Unbound. The USF Libraries have acquired as a one-time purchase the following nine collections.
We Were Prepared for the Possibility of Death” : Freedom Riders in the South, 1961
A civil rights group’s mission – and the FBI’s coverage of it – provide a perspective into American politics and society. Includes surveillance reports, chronologies, witness statements and more. These materials provide unique and in some cases recently declassified insight into the Freedom Rides, the Kennedy administration and the segregated South.

Liberation Movement in Africa and African America
Militant Black nationalism and pan-Africanism influenced and paralleled African America’s interest in Africa. Africa’s entrance into the international arena and American Cold War politics helped fuel the Civil Rights and the Black Power movements of the 1960s and 1970s. This collection focuses on FBI surveillance and other documents on the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) and African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC), labeled as subversive in the early 1970’s.
