The Miller Library will be changing science databases this summer. The BioOne database will expire on June 30, 2008 and in its place, we will be adding the larger and more comprehensive ScienceDirect database in late July/early August. Check back for more information and supporting materials later this summer.

Keystone College’s Fine Arts faculty will present an exhibit of artwork from April 7th through April 25th. The exhibit will include the work of 21 current faculty members working in media ranging from bronze sculpture, book arts, and ceramics to painting, photography, and graphic design. See the complete Keystone College news release here.

You can access the exhibit whenever the Library is open. For the Library’s hours, click here.
