Our very own faculty librarian William Shuluk is a 2012-2013 NISOD (National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development) award winner! Here are a couple of quotes from the many nominations he received:
“William Shuluk is one of the most helpful faculty members on campus. Whether you are a student, staff or faculty member, he would skip meals and lose sleep if it meant helping you. He is a dedicated, selfless representative of the best aspects of this college.”
“Bill is one of the most popular librarians at Edison. Students frequently approach the library staff asking for Bill, commenting on how the former cop-librarian was so helpful, knowledgeable, and downright cool. Professors also often request Bill.
Both students and professors are drawn to Bill because he is fair, knowledgeable, personable, and enthusiastic.”
Congratulations Bill!

Credo Reference is a new type of database. It searches its own collection of encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, and other types of reference materials as well as the Edison Libraries’ other databases and eBooks. This gives you easy access to multiple search tools and a wide variety of resources. In Credo, you can put an issue in context, find out the facts, and link to entire books and relevant articles in the Libraries’ databases. You also can easily create a citation for each source in APA or MLA format.
Note that reference materials are sources which provide definitions, background information, overviews, facts, and opinions on just about any topic.
Ask any Edison librarian to give you a tour of Credo Reference, which is accessible from the Libraries’ homepage by clicking Articles in Databases, logging in, and clicking the “General” subject category. You also can access Credo from the databases’ alphabetical list.

And now, a word from our good friend Colin Firth:
With that in mind, here's a good book that you might find interesting. Contact your local campus to obtain a copy.
I am the Messenger - Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That's when the first ace arrives in the mail.
That's when Ed becomes the messenger.
Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?
A 2005 Michael L. Printz Honor Book and recipient of five starred reviews, I Am the Messenger is a cryptic journey filled with laughter, fists, and love. - Amazon.com
