In the Know @ the Bentley Library

[Update - 1:42 p.m., October 4, 2013]: The "Encore" search feature has been fixed. You can once again use the search box on our homepage to search the library's catalog and article databases. The search box on the library's home page (a.k.a. "Encore") is not functioning properly. Searches performed using Encore fail to retrieve any items from the library's catalog, which includes books, DVDs, streaming films and eBooks.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 23, for the fourth event in the Bentley Library Information Literacy Series, "Lightning Talks About Big Data: Making Sense Out of Massive Amounts of Information." Bentley faculty and alumni will present focused talks of 5-7 minutes on how they make sense out of big data in their disciplines.
