ASTM Standards (American Society for Testing and Materials)

Some of you may remember the rite of spring wherein many a confused undergraduate engineering student comes in looking for ASTM standards because their professor told them we had some through the late 1990s. We do not have ASTM standards through that date; we stopped getting the print in 1987 and the microfilm got trashed. Also, the old print versions are now living out their retirement in the Annex. We do have one book that includes a dozen or so standards from 1994. It is now on Reserves for the class (EMCH 528 – Product Safety Engineering – McNeill). Also, we do NOT obtain standards through Interlibrary Loan for students – way too expensive. It summarize:

ASTM Standards
EMCH 528 – Product Safety Engineering with McNeill
Book on Reserves
No ILL for students

Cecil J Williams photography exhibit, Institute for African American Research

There’s a notice in the Ref office window about the exhibit and program, BUT if you should get people asking about the Cecil J Williams photography exhibit, or civil rights exhibit, or African American Research exhibt they are one and the same.  Level 2 in the office area of the Institute for African American Research (so no weekend or evening access).

Mr. Williams will be in the library at the IAAR on Feb 18th from 1:30-2:30. 

Talk is at 3:30 p.m., Business Administration Building, Lumpkin Auditorium.

sources in Spanish

For those questions about wide-ranging topics, but the information must be in Spanish here are some strategies:

 

From the Electronic Resources page

 

- Lexis Nexis > News > Spanish language news, combined (remember to change the date period!).  Search needs to be in Spanish since that’s the language of the sources.

 

 

- JSTOR.  Language limit on advance search screen.  Enter terms in Spanish.

 

- search Web of Science (all topics possible so not a bad choice).  Use pull-down to search Language and enter Spanish.  Add topic words in English.  Nice convenience of  FindText and library catalog searching to see if we have the periodical.

 

To find books, search the library catalog

-with an advanced keyword search in the library catalog and set language limit.  Topic words should be in English.  Iif title is in Spanish the book will be in Spanish.  

 

Other possibilities in the Reference area

 

- use HAPI (Hispanic American Periodicals Index) Reference Index Shelves Z 1605 .H16.  (most recent is 2005).  If title of the article is Spanish then article will be in Spanish.Will then need to see by searching the Ejournals list and library catalog if we have the periodical.  

 

- Enciclopedia del español en los Estados Unidos : anuario del Instituto Cervantes    Reference E 184 .S75 E556 2009  (Feb 2009 on new ref book shelves).  Not all topics, but in Spanish!

 

- Hispanica encyclopedia [Enciclopedia hispańica] in Quickstart Reference area

 

- InfoTrac Onefile (but beware).  Articles will be in English but it has the machine translator

 

 

Add ideas to the list as they come to you.

TRIO persons using Institute for African American Research space, level 2

Thanks to Gary for the info.  You may get inquiries at the desk.

 

Some people who work with TRIO are temporarily  working in offices in the African American Studies Institute on Level 2 TCL.  These are some of the people displaced by the fire at Booker T. Washington Building last week.   We don’t have a list of names, but the TRIO program is usually mentioned when they ask.
