Spotlight Database: Daily Life Through History by Greenwood Electronic Media

Use Daily Life Through History by Greenwood Electronic Media to connect with the past and learn how our predecessors lived in their daily lives.

From Greenwood:

Combining three rich databases to provide a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary resource that supports history, social studies, English, and language students, Daily Life Online moves seamlessly from past to present, providing context for contemporary life and culture. There's more to history and contemporary events than just the names of rulers and the rise of economic systems; Daily Life Online shows how fascinating and fun it is to explore how others lived and live their lives, and how their lives shaped ours.

Access MDC's databases here. Make sure "Miami Dade College" appears in the drop-down menu. Your Borrower ID is your student ID number, and your PIN is the last four digits of your student ID number.

Need Some Info? Bing It On.

There's a new search engine out there giving Google some competition. It's Bing, Microsoft's Live Search renamed and repackaged in a sleek, slick design. The new kid on the block aims to give users relevant information quicker, with fewer clicks of the mouse. Unique features include a daily changing background scene of some of the world's most unique places with hidden information links, and the ability to play thumbnail videos by hovering over them.
