Resource of the Month
November 2008
Each month WSU Libraries' Department of Collection Development features
a "Resource of the Month" designed to highlight some of the library's new, interesting,
under-used, large, unique, or otherwise noteworthy collections and
resources. You can learn more about the "Resource of the Month" on
this website, from the display in the reference area, by attending a
workshop (if available), or by contacting the Reference Desk at
978-3584.
If you are
interested in learning more about a previous "Resource of the Month,"

Exciting news!
Now you can use your myWSUid and password
instead of the Kansas State Library card to

Also, the State Library has added digital
videos and MP3 files which play on virtually
any MP3 player including the iPod®
and the Zune®!
Other new features include a "Wish List" and
a recommended titles section. Try it today!
