released a new middle school product for students in grades 6-8. Research In Context brings together content from and replaces the following databases: InfoTrac Junior, Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, and Student Resource Center Junior.
(The latter is different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing). Research In Context features a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale’s In Context products. Content is cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of
literature, science, and U.S. and world history. Read more about it on the <a href="http://blog.gale.com/support-middle-school-researchers-with-engaging-new-resource/">

Anderson, student office worker for Government Information and Library Services at the Oregon State Library, graduates from Western Oregon University in June. Kate’s dual degree is a BS in Gerontology and a minor in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology, along
with a BS in Public Policy and Administration with a Health Policy Concentration.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Kate has worked at the State Library for nearly three years (July would have been her third anniversary). Her regular duties are shelving and assisting with projects in
Technical Services. In addition to those duties, Kate did a number of special projects: correcting item locations in the online catalog, weeding, shifting, and inputting hundreds of brief catalog records for Oregon Vertical File folders. All of this work significantly
enhanced access to OSL’s collections.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Kate says her favorite task is shelving: “It is calming to me and I get to listen to music.” Her least favorite is vacuuming in the stacks.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Besides being known for her excellent work, Kate is also legendary for the fabulous cupcakes she brings for special occasions. She says she particularly likes baking cupcakes
with fillings: “It brings an extra level to the cupcake flavor in the end and it keeps me in the kitchen longer.” But her all-time favorite is Key lime with graham-cracker crust.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Government Information and Library Services manager Margie Harrison says “Kate always seems to have a smile on her face. You’d think that five months of shifting over
2,000 shelves of materials in unusually warm stacks would dampen her spirits, but not Kate. With her upbeat and can-do attitude, she keeps us all smiling.”</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
