"The new PubMed replaced the legacy version in the spring of 2020. The new responsive layout offers better support for accessing PubMed content with small-screen devices such as mobile phones and tablets. You can find relevant articles more easily using the Best Match sort, now the default sort order in PubMed. The National Library of Medicine will continue adding features and improving the user experience, ensuring that PubMed remains a trusted and accessible source of biomedical literature.”
The Thrift Library was recently gifted a collection of memorabila by former missionary, Rev. John Dill of the Southern Baptist Convention, currently working here in Anderson with the Saluda Baptist Association as Director of Missions.
Rev. Dill donated items from his years in the Philippines and travels in Zambia.

While the library goes out of its way to protect students from COVID-19 by quarantining books for three days upon return and reshelving them while wearing gloves, Course Reserves pose a problem. If an entire class needs to handle reserve materials, there isn’t time to quarantine them. A single book may be used a dozen items in one day.
So what do you do?
Our new policy is to make hand sanitizer and/or gloves available.
Even better, whenever possible we are purchasing digital versions of Course Reserves. The following list shows everything that was on reserve last year. If the item was used 2 or more times, and if it was available for purchase in a digital format, it was added to the collection. Hyperlinks have been provided for you to place in your Canvas Course.
