New EBSCOhost Search Interface (posted June 25, 2008)

Take the new EBSCOhost database search interface for a test drive! EBSCOhost, which provides access to many of the library’s highly utilized online resources (Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, ERIC, and others), is rolling out a new interface in July 2008. For a preview of all that the new interface offers, visit the EBSCOhost 2.0 information page, or click on the "New Features" link in the top right corner of any EBSCOhost search page.

New features include SmartText Searching, which produces complete results from partial information, a redesigned Visual Search, and an Image Quick View feature which displays article images in the results list. Be sure and check it out, get familiar with the new look, and be ready for your next research project!

Fred Bohle Photographs in Special Collections (posted June 25, 2008)

Robert Wieking recently donated a remarkable photograph album dated c. 1900 which contains 273 black-and-white photographs taken by Fred Bohle in Mexico, the Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest. Many of the photographs depict Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, and Puebloan families and communities. The album also includes photographs of Indigenous Peoples of the Plains. The images from Mexico capture scenes of bull fights, Mexico City, daily life, and trolleys (introduced in Mexico City in January of 1900). Fred Bohle possessed a great interest in and respect for Native Peoples of North America and became a long-term collector of Native American baskets and other art objects. He and his wife Louise were members of the German immigrant community of Oakland, California. Fred spent most of his working life as an engraver for Oakland area newspapers. He bequeathed this album to his good friends, the Wieking (Wilhelm and Christine) Family in Oakland. The Library appreciates the assistance of Stewart Koyiyumptewa, archivist for the Hopi Tribe, who helped identify people and places.
