LIBRARY CHANGES

by Kendra Harrell

The familiar online searching tools EAGLIT and SWOOP are changing! This change will streamline our search tools and simplify the finding process. Currently, our EAGLIT catalog only contains print materials and e-books that the John F. Moss library or the Palmer Memorial library owns, whereas SWOOP can locate anything in EAGLIT plus subscribed content like journal articles, ebooks, audiobooks, and video packages. Unnecessary redundancy has been making our behindthe-scenes processes more difficult, and paying for both products when there were better solutions available was not a good long-term plan for responsible library management.

We have been working hard the last several months to transition our search tools to a new, integrated system, WorldCat Dis-

covery! With this new platform, students, faculty, and staff will be able to locate books, ebooks, audiobooks, journal articles, images, and videos.

The main change to most users will be purely cosmetic. The search will still function the same as SWOOP, it’s just going to look different, and hopefully be even more effective and accurate than SWOOP. We know that many of you are used to doing your searching in a certain way, and we want to make this change as seamless as possible.

WorldCat Discovery

That being said, this is a NEW system for us, and there will be bugs and issues that need troubleshooting! If you are using WorldSearch and encounter a problem, please let us know. We are doing our best to test the system for problems, but we can’t check everything, so we will be relying on you to let us know when something is not working. Call the library service desk at 903-223-3100, email LibraryHelp@tamut.edu, or use our online chat service to get help.

Art in the Library

by Kendra Harrell

Our featured artist for MarchApril is Kaiola Sooman.

The reception for Sooman’s exhibit, “The Next Chapter,” will be March 10th in the library, from 5-7pm. Refreshments will be served.

Photo from Garrett Memorial Christian School Facebook Page, May 21, 2019

This is Kaiola Sooman’s first solo art exhibition. She has won several awards for her work, including Best of Show and other awards in the 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th Annual Student TRAHC shows, Best of Show in the 74th and 75th Annual Four States Fair art contests, 2nd place in the 2019 Congressional Art Competition in Arkansas’ Fourth Congressional District, as well as various awards in the Young Arkansas Artists 55th and 58th art contests. In 2019, she was the state winner for a Google Doodle contest.

She takes art very seriously, and has studied in California, Texas, and Pennyslvania in various programs.

She plans on attending the University of Arkansas Fayetteville and majoring in Studio art with an emphasis on Illustration.

Royalty

Sooman’s work focuses on “narrative illustrations,” according to her statement, and shows “the contrast between humor and morbidness” by pairing “dark concepts” with “soft, cute visuals.”

She is currently painting interior murals at her mother’s pediatric clinic, and taking local commissions and entering into local art contests.

“I always try to treat each of my illustrations like a diary entry,” she says. “Drawing is my way of venting, to communicate the things I’m afraid to say out loud, and I’m perfectly content knowing that the images mainly make sense to me.”

Get It Together

Her exhibit will begin March 10th and run through April 30th.

The Cochrane Library is a collection of 3 main databases, all aimed at helping medical students, professionals, and consumers find high-quality, independently-verified analyses of healthcare data. The databases are also available in Spanish. By searching the databases, you can access information classified as reviews, protocols, trials, editorials, special collections, clinical answers, and other reviews.

If you would like a one-on-one session with a librarian to find out how to use this database effectively, please schedule a Latte with a Librarian at http:// tamut.libcal.com/appointments/.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) is the leading resource for systematic reviews in health care.

CDSR includes all Cochrane Reviews (and protocols) prepared by Cochrane Review Groups.

Each Cochrane Review is a peer-reviewed systematic review that has been prepared and supervised by a Cochrane Review Group (editorial team), according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions or Cochrane Handbook for Diagnostic Test Accuracy Reviews. CDSR also includes Editorials and Supplements.

CDSR is built throughout the month, with new and updated reviews and protocols being continuously published when ready.

Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) is a highly concentrated source of reports of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials. In addition to bibliographic details (author, title, source, year, etc) CENTRAL records often include an abstract (a summary of the article). They do not contain the full text of the article.

CENTRAL is published monthly.

Cochrane Clinical Answers Cochrane Clinical Answers (CCAs) provide a readable, digestible, clinically-focused entry point to rigorous research from Cochrane Reviews. They are designed to be actionable and to inform point-of-care decision-making. Each CCA contains a clinical question, a short answer, and data for the outcomes from the Cochrane Review deemed most relevant to practising healthcare professionals, our target audience. The evidence is displayed in a user-friendly tabulated format that includes narratives, data, and links to graphics. Cochrane Clinical Answers were developed

by Cochrane Innovations and Wiley.

The library’s 2019 Christmas card.

With love from the library!

t h g i l t Spo : on Three years ago an event destroyed the small city of Poughkeepsie, forever changing reality within its borders. Uncanny manifestations and lethal dangers now await anyone who enters the Spill Zone.

The Spill claimed Addison’s parents and scarred her little sister, Lexa, who hasn’t spoken since. Addison provides for her sister by photographing the Zone’s twisted attractions on illicit midnight rides. Art collectors pay top dollar for these bizarre images, but getting close enough for the perfect shot can mean death—or worse.

When an eccentric collector makes a million-dollar offer, Addison breaks her own hard-learned rules of survival and ventures farther than she has ever dared. Within the Spill Zone, Hell awaits—and it seems to be calling Addison’s name.

“Never has a comic so purposefully stupid lied on a foundation of comedic skill so honed and smart.” You said it, Paste Magazine. From the far reaches of weird space to the incomprehensible world of underground art, ZIM is back! And his thirst for world domination has only grown!

Every time a promising villain appears, Saitama beats the snot out of ’em with one punch! Can he finally find an opponent who can go toe-totoe with him and give his life some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?

Collected for the first time in one graphic novel, BETTY AND VERONICA issues 1-3 by legendary comics creator Adam Hughes!

When the heroic princess Amira rescues the kind-hearted princess Sadie from her tower prison, neither expects to find a true friend in the bargain. Yet as they adventure across the kingdom, they discover that they bring out the very best in the other.

They’ll need to join forces and use all the know-how, kindness, and bravery they have in order to defeat their greatest foe yet: a jealous sorceress, who wants to get rid of Sadie once and for all. Join Sadie and Amira, two very different princesses with very different strengths, on their journey to figure out what “happily ever after” really means—and how they can find it with each other.

When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him.

But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved? In Churchill, Andrew Roberts gives readers the full and definitive Winston Churchill, from birth to lasting legacy, as personally revealing as it is compulsively readable.

As Lawrence Ingrassia--former business and economics editor and deputy managing editor at the New York Times--shows in this timely and eye-opening book, a growing number of digital entrepreneurs have found new and creative ways to crack the code on the bonanza of physical goods that move through our lives every day. They have discovered that manufacturing, marketing, logistics, and customer service have all been flattened—where there were once walls that protected big brands like Gillette, Sealy, Victoria’s Secret, or Lenscrafters, savvy and hungry innovators now can compete on price, value, quality, speed, convenience, and service.

Told from the perspectives of a mother and daughter separated by distance but united by an unbreakable bond, Freefall is a heart-stopping, propulsive thriller about two tenacious women overcoming unimaginable obstacles to protect themselves and the ones they love.

Reviews provided by the publishers.

In this second thrilling installment of the Gunnie Rose series, Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew for a seemingly easy protection job, transporting a crate into Dixie, just about the last part of the former United States of America she wants to visit. But what seemed like a straight-forward job turns into a massacre as the crate is stolen. Up against a wall in Dixie, where social norms have stepped back into the last century, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate as what’s inside can spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time.

What would you do if your child’s killer walked free?

It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, JeanGuy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter.

As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. And in the tumult, mistakes are made.
