Introducing OneSearch from Vogel Library — Vogel Library has moved to a new “discovery system” called OneSearch, which allows students and faculty to search our databases, books, videos, archives — everything — from a single, Google-like search box. In addition, the library now subscribes to a number of new databases to help in your research, including Proquest Central, an excellent starting point for finding college-appropriate, multi-disciplinary articles in magazines and journals. This replaces Academic Search Complete while still allowing students and faculty to search multiple databases across all major subject areas, including business, health and medical, language and literature, social sciences, education, science, and technology, as well as core titles in the performing and visual arts, history, religion, philosophy, and more. Try it and let the library staff know what you think!

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
Wartburg shuttle program — The college is pleased to announce the new Wartburg shuttle program, a service to transport students to area airports and bus stations before and after our longer academic breaks. This will help students catch flights and buses and reduce students’ need to have a vehicle on campus. Our goals are to serve students by helping them save money on transportation costs and to reduce frustration for families who make long-distance travel arrangements. Faculty and staff are encouraged to help students be aware of the program, particularly those students who travel long distances, but the shuttles are available for any student to use. You can find details about the program at www.wartburg.edu/shuttle and look at a grid of locations, dates, and shuttle times here. Email shuttle@wartburg.edu with any questions about the Wartburg shuttle program, or call the Student Life Office at 319-352-8260.
