Penn State Great Valley Library Blog

Penn State University Libraries recently unveiled its new website at www.libraries.psu.edu. Some of the new features on the front page include detail on Multisearch - which enables users to search multiple databases simultaneously; searching The CAT (our online catalog), Google Scholar, and Google Books in a drop down box feature; and general library information for students, faculty, and alumni.

The new site also showcases several of Penn State University Libraries outstanding collections including our archival and digitalized materials. Subject resource guides and a new online reference shelf is also available.

Feel free to stop by the Great Valley library to learn more about the new Penn State University Libraries website.

We now have access to the full text of Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports via Gallerywatch. It will be showing up on the A-Z and Subject lists of databases shortly, but those of you who can’t wait can access them at http://login.gallerywatch.com/pennstatecrs (this is a redirect and they are working on shortening the wait so it becomes essentially transparent).

CRS Reports are objective, non-partisan research reports prepared by the Library of Congress for the use of Congress when they are studying public policy issues and preparing legislation.
