Freebies: Databases, publicity, clowns
Online collections in Spanish? Oceano offers six of them. You can get your free trials to those not by clicking the button at the bottom of that page, which doesn't work, but instead by following the 'more information' links and looking for one of the email addresses.
Freebies: Databases, publicity, clowns
April 18, 2008
Here's hoping you've been enjoying National Library Week. Our local bookpalace treated us last night to a show by Chuchin Jr., "the best bilingual clown in the Valley." He got the audience to join in on a song he'd written about libraries before delighting everyone with juggling, jokes, magic, and madness. Chuchin, you'll be pleased to know, offers customers three language options: "English only, Spanish only, or Tex-Mex." The pluricultural payasito has even performed in Japan:
Out near the California coast, a Spanish-language reporter was on hand to cover the Salinas Public Library's well-attended Library Week kickoff events on Sunday and to whet readers' appetites for other attractions there during the week.
Some of the vendors of library databases (please, call 'em online collections when you're in mixed company) opened up free access during the week. One of those is Greenwood Publishing--Loida has told you before about the Latino American Experience collection. Though Library Week is almost over, you can easily get an extension to your free trial to that one if you start right here. And free access to three other interesting databases, Latino Literature, Latin American Women Writers, and Caribbean Literature, from Alexander Street Press is yours for the asking till the end of this month.
