The Library looks forward to working with all of you. Please contact your Library Liaison for any help you need this semester, whether that be recommending new materials, creating a course Pathfinder, or setting up a research presentation for your classes.
We have two new databases this year. Mango Languages has 60 self-study language courses. We had a trial subscription in Spring 2014 and solicited feedback with a web form. Over 60 students responded and urged us to subscribe. We anticipate it will be very popular with students who are going abroad.
Mango is available to all Marist Faculty, Staff and Students, both on- and off-campus. It can be used on various devices in addition to desktop computers.
Social Explorer is a data visualization information tool with 220 years of U.S. Census Data, American Community Survey Data from 2005 to 2012, US Religion Data, 1980 to 2010, and Carbon Dioxide Emissions data from 2002. The data can be used to create maps and multi-map presentations as well as data charts. Tables can be downloaded to Excel, SAS, SPSS, etc. Thanks go to the Marist Poll for subscribing to this database for the entire campus.
