By serendipity, I found this post by our Jeff Selingo in LinkedIn. Serendipity is a favorite word of mine!  We’ll get Jeff’s new book when our funds are replenished in June.

While I’m on the topic of commencement, I post this photo of Ellis (who taught me how to make a meme with Photoshop) and President Rochon.   You can browse commencement photos online.

Our campus was thrilled to have David Boreanaz here!  Thanks for coming.

Library News: NovelNY library consortia picks up Gannett Newstand Complete — it includes the Ithaca Journal

I am pleased to announce that, beginning July 1, 2013 NOVELNY will over statewide access to Gannett Newstand Complete (ProQuest).  This database:

Contains over 85 Gannett newspapers, 6 of which are New York newspapers.  These include the Ithaca Journal, Poughkeepsie Journal, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Journal News (White Plains), Press and Sun-Bulletin (Binghamton) and Star-Gazette (Elmira).

It is my understanding that access to the Ithaca Journal goes back to 1999 or 2000 (the Tompkins County Public Library subscribes & I’ve searched it there).

Thanks to NovelNY for adding access to Gannett papers.  You can access NovelNY if you are resident of New York directly on their website using you NY State Driver License: http://novelnewyork.org/   We also include these resources on the Ithaca College Library’s database list.

Woo-hoo IC Seniors! & Happy B-day Mr. Boreanaz
