ScienceDirect - A subscription database
Our ScienceDirect subscription database equates to $5 million dollars worth of professional science literature and studies. Of course high schools get a significant discount. The publisher Elsevier estimates that this database holds 20% of the world's professional science output. Most articles a very technical. This database content is not available on the free internet. If you need a science article that is not contained in ScienceDirect, email me and I will get it. (kjohnson@)

Overload
"There is no such thing as information overload, just filter failure."
-- Clay Shirkey
December's Contest
Win a cardinal finger puppet by writing a great story about "getting unstuck". You can interpret that anyway you like. I'll recruit an English teacher to judge. Due before the break.
Winner of October's Contest
Lucas Sherman ('20) won the October library contest. Congratulations. He answered this question: Name as many social search engines as you can. See his answers at the bottom of this flyer.
Is your writing saved in the Library of Congress?
If you have ever sent a tweet then you are in the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress has the difficult task of creating a searchable archive of tweets a wicked task considering they receive 500 million tweets per day (Yes, you read that right. Per day!). Good luck LOC. You should probably hire some Google programmers.
