The Princeton Review calls Colgate University one of the nation's best undergraduate institutions in the latest edition of its guide, The Best 373 Colleges. In addition, the University's Case Library and Geyer Center for Information received special recognition culled from student comments, ranking fourth in the Best College Library category after Harvard, Duke, and Princeton. Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president/publishing and author of The Best 373 Colleges states, “Our choices are based on institutional data we collect about schools, our visits to schools over the years, feedback we gather from students attending the schools, and the opinions of our staff and our 28-member National College Counselor Advisory Board.”
The new book lists are available for the month of August. New videos added during August have also been processed.
The OECD iLibrary of books, papers and statistics has been added by the Library and the Economics Department.
OECD iLibrary users at subscribing institutions are able to conduct searches, retrieve listings of publications meeting the search criteria, and choose to download selected titles in various formats, or selected statistical data in spreadsheet format. Access is available for titles published from January 1998 onwards. OECD iLibrary is still a work in progress and features will be added to improve its functionality.
Users can browse by theme or country. One can perfom searches across all the content or restrict searches to specific content - e.g. just statistical data. The resource also provides a number of tools to allow users to reformat the data and create charts.
The Facilities Department is migrating lighting controls for Case-Geyer from a company in California to the Colgate campus. This will provide greater flexibility and control as we seek to save energy when much of the building is not formally open. The project has been underway for the past three months and is near completion. The Libraries Administrative Office in Case-Geyer is monitoring the situation closely to insure that lighting is restored quickly.
I ask for and appreciate your patience and understanding as groups of lighting controls are tested which may result in some lights going out.
Joanne A. Schneider, University Librarian
