This month I start my graduate student studies. I’m attending San Jose State University (SJSU) School of Library and Information Science (SLIS). I’m working towards my Masters of Library and Information Science (MLIS).

Hi Ginny,
ReplyDeleteHere's another free research helper to add to your list. I just heard of it because I work at Barnes & Noble! Have not had time yet to explore it but seems to have good features if you are planning on downloading and citing from textbooks/ebooks.
