Check it out!
PLUS, as if this isn't already extraordinarily exciting, the Buzz has new aspirations as well! Instead of just reporting news, we will occasionally be highlighting favorite resources and services. For example, our Business Librarian, Mandy Hackley, might tell us why she is in love with Morningstar; or Reference Librarian Krista Knapp might show us a nifty trick to use in the EBSCO databases. Perhaps our new Techie Librarian, Michelle Oleson, will show us a geeky new technological find! Lots of good Buzz posts are ahead!
