The Bridwell Reference blog will be migrated to the WordPress platform sometime this semester. Thank you for your patience.
The British Museum hosts an interesting site, World Timelines. It allows you to compare events happening around the world at any given time in history. Note: Requires Flash.
Bridwell has just received the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary Set. Each volume includes illustrations, maps, timelines, extensive bibliographies and a list of abbreviations. This wonderful resource can be found in the Reference (Green) Room.
You may have noticed that the Bridwell homepage features a search box for “Discover SMU Libraries.” This tool allows you to search the catalog in addition to most of the SMU database. Search results can be filtered in a variety of ways. An advanced search option is also available.
We recommend that you try this new tool and see how it can serve your research needs. If you would like additional information, please contact the reference librarians.
Here are some exciting databases on trial this month. Please let us know what you think.

Bridwell Library now offers the iPreach Bible Reference Database. This resource includes the New Interpreter???s Bible, the Works of Wesley, Bible translations and many useful reference materials. You can access this database through the record in the Library Catalog, or through the Online Resources page.
As SMU students, you have 200 MB of storage available for free. To access this, go to locker.smu.edu. You will need your username (the first part of your SMU email) and SMU password.
You can upload files, create folders, and even share with other people.
So, how can you save $100? Well, instead of copying or printing (at 10?? per page), you can scan or save your document, and upload it to your Locker. Then you have access to it from anywhere with an internet connection, and you can save it to your own computer, or print at home.
Here is the mini version of the BLT. A full size version, and also a ‘cleaned-up’ version will apprear on the website in the near future.
