The library is now offering an Honor Fiction Collection made up of books donated by our generous patrons. Based on the honor system (hence the name) simply choose a book and return it once read. It does not have to be checked out and there is no due date. The collection is almost entirely made up of fiction though a few biographies are sprinkled in.
Come by and browse! The collection is located in the rear of the library, closest to the back exit.
The Academia.edu site encourages discovery and networking among scholars. There is already a section created for ITP. Its tree-like structure unfolds and connects in interesting ways. You can search by institution, name, or research topic.
As with any Web presence, it is up to you if you wish to be findable in this way. For now I am not adding my name to this resource--I want to see how it develops a bit more first, but I may do so in the future.
Please Note: There seemed to be some glitches when I looked at it today. Let's see if they can work out the glitches.
I find myself inspired when looking at alumni websites. A few I have looked at recently are as follows:
Irene Blinston, Ph.D.
Ryan Rominger, Ph.D. and Scott McCulloch, Ph.D
Allison Perry, Ph.D.
I always encourage students to start using the Web to promote their future career path, whatever it may be. If any alums or current students would like to show off their professional websites, please post to the comments of this blog post so that we can all see them.

EndNote is a citation management software that does so much more. It keeps your organized as you write your paper. You can export citations directly from several of our key databases using filters and into EndNote, so often you don't even need to type the citation into the software.
Additionally, you can keep track of your pdf copies of articles right in Endnote by associating them with the citation. No more searching for your pdf!
And it is free for ITP students, staff, and faculty! We purchased a license that makes this possible. Just email us for more information.
