Subject:  - Learning Studio - week of May 2

June already!

This week I have two longs lists of titles for you. One of printed works
and another of free electronic texts.

Don't let the length intimidate you take the time to quickly scan the lists
for items that may be of interest.

Next week the lists will be shorter.

PRINTED, NEW ACQUISITIONS:

Earlier this week Jo announced that a large number, Thirty seven, volumes
in the DK Eyewitness books series had been added to the collection.

To search for them as a series in the catalog
(http://library.exploratorium.edu/) you need to select 'series' as the
Index Name.

I just did a search for the series and here is what came up. I have added
the call numbers for your convenience. Currently these are all shelved on
the New Arrivals shelf but as folks check them out or leave them on the
table they will migrate to the regular shelves.
