USF Polytechnic Library

Announcing Credo Reference as a new a multidisciplinary collection of online reference resources. Funded by USF Sarasota/Manatee, the content in Credo is selected by USF librarians.

Credo Reference provides access to one hundred reference resources, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, and biographical sources chosen to meet a broad range of research needs. Metasearching allows the user to search across all content in the current collection. Each title has an information title page with a description, and a search box for the individual title, so searching can be done at a more precise level. Concept maps are available, as are “gadgets” offering quick look ups for definitions, locations, conversions, quotations and people. Results can be exported into RefWorks, EndNote, ProCite or Reference Manager. Users can also email the abstract or the full-text, save to a file or clipboard, or choose to print. Citation styles offered are APA, MLA, Harvard and Chicago.

Our apologies! Here are the items newly arrived at the USF Polytechnic Library during the month of September and October. Yes, we inadvertently skipped a month in the flurry of activity in the Library. So this list will combine items receive during both.

As always, new circulating books and children’s books are found in the “New books” stacks in the Group Study area and can be checked out; the new reference, DVD titles and Special Collection items are immediately being shelved in their respective stacks.

Of particular interest are our first print issues of Psychology Today as well as the volume RoboCup 2008 : Robot Soccer World Cup XII co-edited by faculty member Dr. Alfredo Weitzenfeld. Finally, we receive the latest editions of the Florida teacher certification examinations test self-study guides. They’re in their own section in this list.

Search fields include: author, title, publication, institution, document type, methods and techniques, targeted populations, educational issues, populations served, areas of service, research methods and research techniques.

Announcing the purchase of the classic reference work, the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences and the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, Second Edition. Both are accessed through the Gale Virtual Reference Library platform.

The International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, released in 1968 by Macmillan, co-edited by David Sills and Robert K. Merton, “established standards for knowledge in social science research and practice” (CHOICE, 2001). Hailed as a defining reference in the field of the social sciences, the work took fifteen years of planning and resulted in thousands of scholarly contributions from academics and experts from around the world. It covered research in all the disciplines making up the field: anthropology, economics, demographics, political sciences, law, psychology, sociology, geography, history, and education. In those areas of study, the peer-reviewed and signed entries focused on concepts, theories, and methods.

The second edition to the classic work, The International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, is a nine-volume set that covers scholarship and fields that have emerged and matured since the publication of the original international edition. The work highlights the expanding influence of economics in social science research and features new articles and biographies contributed by global scholars. Features include signed articles, bibliographies, see and see also references to related entries. Most entries provide a brief definition, description of historical origin and development, and different points of view surrounding the entry. Students of sociology, anthropology, political science, psychology, economics, and history will benefit from this comprehensive work.
