2008 Michigan Notable Books The 2008 Michigan Notable Books list is the Library of Michigan's annual selection of up to 20 recommended books reflecting Michigan's rich cultural heritage, featuring high-quality titles with wide public appeal that are either written by a Michigan resident or about a Michigan-related topic.
This program has roots stretching back to Michigan Week 1991. The Library of Michigan has had primary responsibility for this program since the 2002 awards. Before 2004, the program was called Read Michigan.

These citations, while listed on Google Scholar result screens, do not link directly to additional information. As the ‘About Google Scholar’ page notes, “[t]his means your search results may include citations of older works and seminal articles that appear only in books or other offline publications.”
Why use Google Scholar? Its vast index of many types of publications spanning the gamut of human investigation and knowledge often means you will turn up some new perspectives that you did not uncover using more narrowly focused research tools. It is, therefore, ANOTHER tool you can use to facilitate your discovery of illuminating resources, but not the ONLY tool. - Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:22:31 EDT RefWorks Bibliography Management Service available RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service that can not only store and organize the references you collect in the course of your research, but can also format bibliographies according to many different style rules, such as those from the Modern Language Association (MLA) and the American Psychological Association (APA). While you can enter references into RefWorks manually, in most cases references can be imported into RefWorks from electronic databases, either directly or from saved text files. No (or minimal) typing! All your references are stored on the RefWorks server, so you can access them from any location with an Internet connection. The EMU Graduate School and the University Library have together purchased a one year subscription to the service. - Thu, 04 Aug 2005 16:16:19 EDT Faculty: Plagiarism Assessment Service Turn-It-In To help promote awareness of and the practice of academic integrity, Eastern Michigan University has subscribed to TurnItIn.com, a web-based service that compares submitted student text against a database of millions previously published documents, including those on the public Internet, the proprietary collection of the ProQuest company, as well as every student paper ever submitted to TurnItIn.com, including previously submitted EMU papers. - Tue, 09 Aug 2005 16:26:08 EDT Faculty: Make your course reserves available 24/7 with Electronic Reserves Faculty can easily create their own course pages and add materials on their own after a short 30-45 minute workshop during which an account is set up. Faculty can create course pages and then add their materials by uploading from a pc, disc or cd or by faxing the material into the electronic reserve server, creating a pdf document, which is located in the Halle. - Tue, 09 Aug 2005 16:24:08 EDT Library Newsletters Library Matters, the EMU Library newsletter, keeps readers informed of our news, programs, and policies. - Sun, 24 Apr 2005 17:31:36 EDT |
