As a former Merrimack student, I am very pleased to extend my heartfelt congratulations to English Professor Bud Keohan on his 50 years of teaching at Merrimack College. Professor Keohan embodies what is special about our Merrimack faculty – he cares about his students. He sets high standards for student achievement and he guides them through the process of learning. He not only wants each student to be successful in his class, but also to thrive as Merrimack graduates. As Library Director, I have observed this same level of commitment from many faculty members. I see them as advisors, as researchers, as chaperones, and as committee members. They demonstrate an interest in the whole student. They are excellent teachers who truly care about their students’ success. So as I congratulate Prof. Keohan on 50 years of teaching and thank him for his loyalty to Merrimack students, I thank our entire faculty for their dedication. ~ Barbara Lachance, Library Director |

What's New on our Website |
|
After multiple trials last year, the library has
acquired and upgraded several electronic resources.
 In the Social Science area, we have added Columbia International Affairs Online (CIAO) and SOCIndex with Full Text. In the Sciences, we now have access to the Scientific American Archive and will shortly be trialing SCOPUS. In the Humanities, we have upgraded our access to Literature Resource Center to allow for multiple users. Of benefit to all disciplines is our upgrade to EBSCOHost's Academic Search Premier. We hope this increased access to information will help you with your studies this year. |

ERC: Educational Resources Collection |
|
If you answered YES to any of the above questions then the ERC is for you! What you will find:
The Educational Resources Collection, previously known as the Curriculum Library, has a new location on the third floor of the McQuade Library which was made possible by a grant from Verizon. The grant allowed the library to purchase new shelving as well as multicultural materials such as bi-lingual children’s books, English language learner kits and teacher resources. Additional new resources that support preK-12 curriculum, teachers & teaching, pupils with special needs, and more have been purchased by the library in cooperation with the Education department. This growing collection includes not only books and multimedia, but also databases and websites which can be accessed through the Educational Resources Collection website (or go to the McQuade Library homepage and click on Subject Guides – Educational Resources Collection). |

Give the Gift of Reading |
|
|
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita damaged or destroyed many school and public libraries in the Gulf Region. Estimated expenditures for needed books for Library Media Centers alone are over $32 million. With your support, the McQuade Library would like to “Give the
Gift of Reading” to the children of the Gulf Region by collecting new children’s books (K-12) to be donated to
school and public libraries in the affected areas. The books will be sent to a storage facility in Austin, Texas and
through the Texas Library Association will be distributed to the affected libraries from all states at the appropriate
time. |
