You’re still
on vacation from TCC for 2/3

It’s too hot to travel.
It’s the official celebration of about a
dozen foods--including celery, catfish, goat cheese, and toasted marshmallows.
It’s a great time to chill out and let your
imagination run wild at the
TCC Library website.
Using Academic Search Premier (a large, multi-disciplinary electronic
databases from EBSCOHost) discover anything you could want to know about catfish,
a Psychology Today article about a
classic test of self-control involving toasted marshmallows, and more than 50
recipes using goat cheese (mostly from Vegetarian
Times).
Visit amazing museums in Boston, New York, Los Angeles,
London, or Berlin while staying in the cool of your air-conditioned home or
apartment by choosing from 1.6 million images of art and architecture at
ARTStor.
Members of Congress are home from Washington, holding
townhall meetings. Visit one of the
issues-based databases (CQ Researcher, Issues & Controversies, or Points of
View Reference Center), take a quick look at one of the hot issues facing
Congress (e.g. immigration, the budget), go to a townhall meeting, and quiz
your Congressman or Senator about his stand on the issues.
Use the yellow Article
Databases tab at the Library homepage (then click on the A to Z Databases link)
to access any of these resources.
