Need gov. data?

A new website, http://www.data.gov/, was just rolled out that promises to provide "public access to high value, machine readable datasets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government." Read the Washington Post article about it or go straight to the data.gov, choose an agency/category, and see what you can find!

Changes to the library's website!

We're making some changes soon! We'll be moving the library's website from http://lib.belmont.edu to http://library.belmont.edu. Please make sure your bookmarks are correct!

Also, the library catalog will be down for an upgrade starting Tuesday May 26. We *think* the upgrade will take only a few days, but we will post a notice here as soon as the catalog is up and running again. You can use WorldCat to see if Belmont owns a book, and the approximate call number of the book. WorldCat will not tell you if the book is checked out or not.

This upgrade should not affect other library resources, such as the library databases. It will only affect searching the library catalog, known as CubCat.

Any questions about the library's website can be sent to courtney.stephens@belmont.edu.

Read all about it...

You may not like to think about the current economic crisis, but it is nonetheless important to understand the situation and the proposed solutions. Mississippi State University has created a great research guide on this topic with links to relevant government documents, like American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and other important resources. Learn about how the economic stimulus measures will impact Tennessee here.
