FOR FUN...

Dracula The Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt“The authors (Stoker is a descendant of Bram, and Holt is a noted Dracula historian) skillfully explore the nature of evil while weaving together several complex plotlines throughout this mesmerizing story. Readers who enjoy dark fantasy with fast-paced action will plow through this book, not wanting to stop.“ —Library Journal


Ford County: Stories by John Grisham"Ford County is the best writing that John Grisham has ever done... Some of the stories are hilarious, and Grisham’s gift of humor has never found a showcase like this. One of these stories should find its way into the anthologies of the best short stories of 2009. It might not happen, but I for one think the stories in Ford County are that damned good." —Pat Conroy


New York: The Novel by Edward Rutherfurd“Like James Michener and Leon Uris, Rutherfurd does a magnificent job of packaging a crackling good yarn within a digestible overview of complex historical circumstances and events.” —Booklist

What Remains of Heaven: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery by C.S. Harris“Fifth in the "fast-moving" British-set historical mystery series starring a charismatic hero. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury to help in the investigation of two corpses found in an ancient crypt, their violent deaths separated by decades. One is the Bishop of London, the elderly Archbishop's favored but controversial successor. The identity of the other seems lost in time.” —Publisher’s Description

Brown"Provides students with both an understanding of traditional human resource concepts and a framework for making decisions about when specific practices can be most beneficial to an organization." —Publisher's description


Opening Night: Creating Successful Events by John Owens"Walks the reader through the stages of event planning, providing tips and specific details in a high-energy text with many bulleted lists for easy reference." —Kirkus


Secrets of the Great Golf Course Architects by Michael Patrick Shiels and the American Society of Golf Course Architects"Shiels has managed to take individual observations and create a seamless story bolstered by drawings and spectacular photographs." —Amazon.com

Changes are reflected in the recently released 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (also known as the "APA Manual").
What's new in the 6th edition? Pay close attention to the new rules on citing a journal or magazine article in the reference list. For example, APA has introduced a DOI, or digital object identifier, that replaces the database name and URL in the citation. It's a unique code assigned to a scholarly article and looks something like this: 10.1016/j.ijhm.2009.02.006. There are also different rules to follow depending on whether or not a journal article has been given a DOI.
Want to learn more about it? See specific examples in our recently updated APA Citation Style guide.
If you have further questions, consult the APA Handbook or Ask a Rosen Librarian! http://www.library.ucf.edu/News/?story=586&channel=rosen#Comments http://www.library.ucf.edu/News/?story=586&channel=rosen Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:41:41 GMT Is there a journal article you need to read for class but aren't sure how to access it? Look no further than our handy Finding Full Text from Citations research guide. It walks you through the steps of locating a particular article, whether it's available electronically or in print.
If you have further questions about this process or about finding information for a course project or paper, don't forget you can always Ask a Rosen Librarian. Whether you prefer email, phone, or an in-person visit, we are always glad to help you. http://www.library.ucf.edu/News/?story=585&channel=rosen#Comments http://www.library.ucf.edu/News/?story=585&channel=rosen Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:04:28 GMT The Rosen Library will be closed on Monday, September 7th in observance of Labor Day.

Buying a franchise restaurant can take a lot of the work and worry out of entrepreneurship.
Our Fall exhibit, Restaurant Ownership Made Easy: Four Fast Franchises, compares four up-and-coming restaurant franchises. Three of these — N.Y.P.D. Pizza, Five Guys Burgers, and Panera Bread — have made Franchise Times magazine’s list of "Fast 55" successful companies experiencing speedy growth. The fourth, uFood, is a brand new "healthy fast-food" concept.
Come see our display in the library, now through December, to learn more about these and other "fast" restaurant franchises.
