Photos from the Phoenix Release Party!
April 29, 2008
Photos from the Phoenix release party have been posted to Milligan Library’s brand new Flickr photostream! Take a look and leave some comments!
The party was a blast–more than 35 students, faculty, and staff showed up to hear their fellow Milliganites read original works, to eat tasty food, and to get a copy of this year’s literary and arts journal.
If you missed the party and would like to get a copy of the Phoenix, the Library has several dozen copies in the coffee room near the front entrance. Hope to see you soon!

New Look to JSTOR
April 7, 2008
JSTOR has unveiled a sleek new look on April 7, 2008! Most veteran JSTOR users will find that the basic and advance search screens retain many of the old features, while adding a few new twists.
Highlights of the new features:
- In Advanced Searching, searchers can now specify that search terms be within a certain proximity to each other (within 5, 10, or 25 words). Using this feature can greatly improve full-text search results.
- Save citations within JSTOR and access them again at future sessions. To use the feature, create a MyJSTOR account from the tab at the top of the screen.
- All searches from a session are retained and can be reviewed.
- Simplified printing and viewing of articles in PDF format.
To learn more, watch several short tutorials on the new features at:

In future posts, I will discuss ways to improve JSTOR searches. But if you have any questions or would like any assistance on JSTOR or any other database, please contact me at mjackson at milligan.edu
