Check it Out! Library Fun from Home

Bored at home over the long winter break? Check out some of our quirky and entertaining full-text databases!



20th Century Advice Literature includes such gems as Bed Manners: How to Bring Sunshine Into Your Nights (1934), How to Be Happy Though Civil (1909), The Girl's Place In Life and How To Find It (1942), and Advice to the Lonely, Frustrated and Confused (1972).

American Broadsides & Ephemera, 1760-1900 is amazing primary source collection of playbills, posters, sheet music, tracts, and other short-lived texts and images that document the 18th and 19th centuries in America.

Global Road Warrior: No, not an alternative to WoW...if you're traveling or studying abroad, here's a wealth of practical information organized by country: money and banking, personal safety, internet café locations, health and medical, and much more.

Birds of North America Online is an incredible window on North American bird behavior, habitat, reproduction and more. Life histories of each species include image/video galleries & sound recordings of their calls. How tweet it is!

All of these databases - like most of our databases - require you use your OneCard for access. If you have problems with your card, please AskUs! or send a message to AskUs or ADM Desks in FirstClass.
