Need Data? New Database!
Are you researching a topic for which you need
authoritative statistics and data? Check out
LexisNexis Statistical DataSets, a new
database available through the University
Libraries. The link to this new database can be
found in the A-Z Database List under the
Research Resources on the Library homepage.
LexisNexis Statistical DataSets aggregates over 100 public domain and
licensed quantitative datasets in a single, easy to use interface. Data on
banking & finance, criminal justice and law, education, energy, government
& politics, health, industry, labor, natural resources, population,
transportation and more than 600 other subjects are available in tables,
charts, maps and other customizable formats.
The wealth of information is impressive and it can easily be integrated into
papers and presentations. Links to other governmental, university, and
organizational data sources are also provided.
A tutorial will soon be available. If you have questions about the database,
please contact a Reference Librarian at 814-393-2490.

Computer Tip: Computer No-No’s
Have you ever committed a computer no-no? I'm
sure we all have at one time or another, but we
really should watch ourselves from here on out. To
help you pinpoint a computer no-no, here are a few
things you should never do with your computer. With
this list, maybe you can stop yourself in the act next
time something comes up!
Never turn your computer off while you're in
the middle of a program or if you have a bunch of
windows open. Always close out all programs and windows before
shutting down your computer. If a program freezes up on you, try to
use Ctrl + Alt + Del before you do anything else.
Never turn your computer off and then turn it back on without
waiting at least 60 seconds. The system needs at least that long to
calm down a little.
Never remove a disk or a CD from their respective drives until the
drive light has turned off. It usually takes a few seconds for it to turn
off, but if it's still on, don't push that release button!
Never use a magnet around your computer, the monitor or around a
diskette (floppy disk). Magnets are bad news!
Never try to force a disk into the drive. If it doesn't fit, you may
have it upside down or backwards.
Always make sure you turn your computer off before you start
connecting any new hardware. It will save you some troubles down
the road.
Last, but not least, you should never have any type of food or drink
around your computer. Just eat and drink somewhere else!
Something to Think About:
Being defeated is often
a temporary condition.
Giving up is what makes it
permanent.
