Online Handbook Trial and NELA Conference

Greetings,
I just got back from Portland, Maine for the New England Library Association Annual Conference.  There were several really interesting presentations including one on "The Mystique of 'Sensible Shoes' and Other Image Myths of the Modern Librarian".  For more information, check out this link:

Finally, we have an online handbook trial through APA on-campus at Old Westbury until November 21, 2013.  This trial features the "Handbook of Counseling Psychology" as well as the "Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology".  More information is available here:

Until next time, catch me in the library.

Database Trials: LGBT Thought and Culture / North American Immigrant Letters, Diaries and Oral Histories

Greetings,
At Old Westbury Library, we currently have two database trials underway.  North American Immigrant Letters features letters, diaries, and oral histories.  It's a fairly unique resource.  If you're looking for narratives by immigrants from Ireland, Mexico, and many other countries, check it out:

We also have LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) Thought and Culture.  This database features books and articles from an LGBT perspective:
