The Library's Buy a Book Service
Hi everyone!
The holiday season is upon us! Make this year's gift giving a bit easier by completing your holiday shopping via the library's new Buy a Book Service (BABS).
You can access the BABS page by clicking on the following URL:
http://www.library.uiuc.edu/services/bookreferral.htm
If you shop Amazon.com via the link on the library's Buy a Book Service page, then a small portion of each sale will go back to the university -- regardless of what you purchase at Amazon. So if you're going to make some purchases at Amazon anyway, please consider using the link to Amazon listed on the Buy a Book Service rather than the usual Amazon.com link!
So, check off those names--whether they're naughty or nice--and get a jump on your holiday gift list!

Electronic Reference Books for the Life Sciences now links to Darwins complete works
The Complete Works of Charles Darwin Online courtesy of the University of Cambridge is now available, and has been added to Electronic Reference Books for the Life Sciences Web page which is maintained by the Library Life Sciences Division (LSD). The LSD Web page includes a list of frequently used life sciences titles provided by the University Library electronic books collection, and are so marked. But there are also titles on the list that are freely available on the Internet and not accessible through either the Library's Online Library Catalog or Online Research Resources (ORR) database. Included in the list are dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, manuals, indexes, methods and protocols, textbooks, collections of works, and guides to works. This Web page puts these titles easily at your fingertips and is worth a bookmark. Please let us know if you have recommendations for additional content.
