News Briefs, March 28, 2012

Have you ever used Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org/)?  This website has countless practice problems and videos.  If you’re stuck on a math concept, want to learn about finance, or need health-related information, this website can be a good place to start.  Topics are listed by category.  Find a category in algebra and try a sample problem.  If you miss it, you can learn how to solve it.

The newest book in IHE’s collection is Emergency Guide for Dental Auxiliaries by Debra Jennings and Janet Bridger Chernega (ISBN 9781111138608, call number RK305 .C44 2012).  As you can see from the call number, this book was published just this year, but we also have an earlier edition from 2002. 

The entry on the 2012 edition in our online catalog (http://ihelib.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-do-i-use-our-online-catalog-to-find.html) includes a link to the publisher’s web page about the book.  If you click on it, you will be led to http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=9781111138608||210332382776941388013224666361957048113&N=16&Ns=P_CopyRight_Year|1&Ntk=all||P_EPI.  The page has information about the book, including an overview, the table of contents, and “New to this edition” features which show what the 2012 edition has that the 2002 one does not.  You can learn a lot about what is in this book (and how useful it is to you) before you even find it in the bookshelves.
 Friday marks our registrar Komal Patel's last day at IHE.  Good luck, Komal!  We hope you visit soon.
