ACCUPLACER INTAKE ASSESSMENTS

Susan was helping a patron and discovered that Saint Paul College now requires a test called Accuplacer for admission. This website has more information and links to practice tests at Collegeboard.com, Testpreview.com, and Math.com, as well as a study guide.

INTERACTIVE RAILWAY MAP

Here is a nifty interactive railway map that lets you search the railway connections from several European countries. You can search several rail companies, for example, the French TGV by clicking on its name. The connections will light up. It's visible and it's fun.


Thank you,

Yahoo! Mail problems

We have been having a lot of computer shut-downs with patrons using Yahoo! Mail. I found that the patrons are invariably using Yahoo! Mail Beta, a trial for a new format of Yahoo! Mail. If they try it out once, they are automatically logged into it every time. I encourage them to go back to the tried-and-true older version of Yahoo! Mail until the new version is %100 ready. They may have to go into "options" in the upper-right-hand corner.

NARA films on Google Video & in our catalog

Hello!

The National Archives and Records Administration has added a number of their films to the Google Video stash. We have links to 101 of them in our catalog. You can find the entire list by either using the keywords "national records google" (without the quotes) or the govt doc# AE 1.130.

Titles include "Marines Raise Flag over Iwo Jima," "Funeral of President Roosevelt," "U.S. Soldiers Become Citizens at Battlefront," "Alabama Highlands 1937," "The Eagle has Landed" (Apollo 11) and many others.

Very cool, and a great resource for patrons. Check it out!
