Welcome to everyone who is receiving Library-News, especially the new faculty. If you have not visited the Library's homepage, we encourage you to do so at http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/ and see the multitude of services that we have for you to use. For the new faculty, and as a refresher for the rest of you, the earlier issues of Library-News can be seen at http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/news/librarynews/. These earlier issues will refresh your memory on important databases that we now have available for faculty, staff, and students.
