creased as well. A local agency, The Womens Community, reports that nearly three out of four (74%) Americans know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence (What is Abuse?, 2011), so Marathon county is not alone. In order to help our staff and students learn more about domestic violence in our community, Rasmussen College has invited Jane Graham Jennings, Director of the Womens Community, to come speak. Jennings will help us better understand abuse and its impacts, will share with us how her agency works with abuse victims, and will highlight how everyday people can contribute to the effort to eliminate domestic violence. Jennings will be at Rasmussen on August 31, 2011 from 5:30m to 6:30pm and will be speaking in room 101/102. Jennings presentation is free and open to the general public.

eBook Collections
Have you used the librarys eBooks? The electronic ones that you can read from home or anywhere you have internet access? If not, you are missing a great resource! If yes, be aware that we have a new collection of eBooks and weve had some changes. Read on to get the full scoop! Credo eReference Books is a collection of over 947,000 articles from 100 reference books. All subject areas are covered. Titles include Collins Dictionary of Business, World of Criminal Justice, Cambridge Encyclopedia of Child Development, Encyclopedia of Computer Science, and The Cambridge Historical Dictionary of Disease. eBooks via EBSCO was formerly known as Netlibrary. It contains almost 20,000 eBooks and a handful of eAudioBooks that Rasmussens librarians have selected to support all of our program areas. This is a phenomenal collection; you can find everything from marketing books to travel guides, to biographies to health sciences books. GALE eReference Books is a collection of 60 some encyclopedias, handbooks, and reference books. It includes titles such as: Business Plans Handbook (17 volumes!), Child Development, Crime and Punishment in America, Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice, Encyclopedia of Global Industries, Encyclopedia of World Cultures, Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology, and the Macmillan Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. Netlibrary once provided our largest collection of eBooks. It was recently purchased by the EBSCO company and has been reborn as eBooks via EBSCO. Overdrive is our newest collection of eBooks. In addition to eBooks that you can read online (or download to your ebook reader), it also includes a great collection of eAudiobooks and eVideos that you can listen to or view online or from an appropriate device (laptop, mp3 player, ipad, etc.). This collection deserves exploring! You will need to download their free software to use the collection, so be prepared for that. Watch for a screencast video in your Rasmussen email that will show you how to navigate this database more easily. Safari Books is a collection of over 4,300 eBooks. Most of the books in this collection are related to computer, information technology, and business. In particular, there are some wonderful guides and how-to books. Topics covered include Java, Adobe, web development, Microsoft products, project management, Windows server administration, network administration, security management, digital media, and more. Technology and Design students should check this out, but the rest of us looking for tips on how to use programs such as Photoshop, Excel, or Access should take note, too! The librarys eBooks used to be in the catalog, but are now searched via eBook collection. The collections can be located, alphabetically by title, in the eResources section of the library webpage. If you have questions, see your librarian or email librarians@rasmussen.edu
