New resources at the USF Poly Library

Here are the items newly arrived at the USF Polytechnic Library during the month of May. As always, new circulating books are found in the “New books” stacks in the Group Study area; the new reference titles are being immediately shelved in their respective stacks.

Of note, we have continued receiving the 2008 award-winning Children’s Books as well as a few books from donations, notably from Dr. Preston Mercer. Thank you!
