The October 2013 issue of Information for Social Scientists (ISS) is now available at http://guides.main.library.emory.edu/IFSS_October2013
ISS is the General Libraries/LITS e-only newsletter that highlights information issues, resources, and services of interest to Emory social scientists, particularly graduate students and faculty. The theme of this issue is “NEW”: new university librarian, new website, new services, new buildings (and renovations) and new resources of special interest to Emory social scientists.
