Lauinger Library Blommer Science Library #58, March 16, 2005 Events News and Announcements Exhibits Events »Library Associates Events April 16 Augustine: A Conversation with the Provost John Carroll Awards Weekend Chicago, IL April 27 James Joyce and his Self-Portrait James Heffernan, Professor Emeritus Boston, MA More information on these and additional 2004-2005 Library Associates events will be updated here.     News and Announcements »New Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection The Library of Congress, with 129 million items in 21 separate reading rooms, is one of the world's great research collections. LC welcomes public use of its general reference facilities, but it can be bewildering because of its size and complexity. The new Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection streamlines access for Georgetown University's faculty and students to LC's collections and services as a supplement to Georgetown University Library's resources. Visit the Library's new Library of Congress Connection web page to learn how to: initiate a research consultation with a curator at LC; schedule an orientation for yourself or your class; check availability of a conference room where a class could make use of materials from the LC collections. »Online Access to Many Standard & Poors Publications One of the most-used reference resources, the Standard & Poor's Industry Surveys, is now available online through a database called NetAdvantage, giving you 24/7 access to a research tool you used to have to ask for at the Lauinger Library reference desk. In addition to the Industry Surveys' analyses of fifty of the largest North American and global industries, NetAdvantage offers brief investment perspectives on over 115 sub-industries, such as Internet retail or gold. The database is also a gateway to publicly traded and private company information and offers online access to eight other popular Standard & Poor's research products such as Stock Reports; Corporation Records; Trends & Projections; The Outlook; and Register of Corporations, Directors & Executives. For easy searching, use the global search box near the top of the initial screen, or see the blue banner just beneath it for company- or industry-specific search options. NetAdvantage's online searching certainly facilitates current business research, but for historical research and for those who prefer paper to computer screens, Lauinger Library will continue to shelve print copies of Industry Surveys (1975- ) and Stock Reports (1979- ). »Student Film Festival Entries There is still time for students to submit films to the "5th Annual GUTV Student Film Festival."
