IVP Collection

Dear Faculty,

I am pleased to announce the library has just added six IVP Dictionary titles (see below) to our online reference site Credo Reference. Many faculty place physical articles from the IVP collection on reserve in the library, and we are constantly repairing or replacing the dictionaries due to high use and damage/left of pages. By adding the electronic books, the library can:

·         Provide access to quality biblical studies reference resources for our on-campus,  DCP, and MASL faculty and students,

·         Provide faculty with the opportunity to provide permalinks in Moodle to specific articles (as well as within online course reserves created by the library),

·         Provide 24/7 access to the materials,

·         Remove the need to gain copyright permissions to reproduce articles (because we are using a permalink),

·         And, limit replacement and repair costs due to theft and damage.

These benefits apply to all of our electronic materials, and of course I encourage you to check out our Resources page to see what is available.

If you have never signed into our catalog and would like help, please contact me.

Blessings,

Gary Merriman
