A new set of Reference Books


I wanted everyone to know about this excellent new resource we have in both print and digital editions at the library, Milestone Documents in American History. It's a new 4-volume set containing full-text primary source documents with expert analysis and commentary. And we will also have (very soon) unlimited online access to all the "Milestone Document" titles from the link on the reference page of the George Hail main website .

The publisher's description of the set says:

THE PRINTED REFERENCE
Four volumes, including 2,100 pages
133 full-text documents & analytical essays
Eight teachers' guides
Appendixes, indexes and resource listings

THE ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION
Full access from home
Immediate access via online registration
A simple, intuitive interface
User profile areas for students and patrons
Sophisticated search functions
Complete content, including appendixes
Fully illustrated

It also contains essays about the primary source documents, which will provide additional information and context for the documents. Please let me know if I can help you with any questions about primary source documents, or using this print and online source.

It's exciting! Please also let us know if you find this source to be useful to you. Thanks.
