An interesting quarterly publication online is Knowing & Doing from the C.S. Lewis Institute. Most issues contain a profile of a major Christian figure (the Winter 2009 issue focuses on Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones), in addition to other articles in the general tradition of C.S. Lewis. The Library also receives a paper copy if you want to peruse it that way. (BTW, this publication is not indexed in ATLA, so it will not show up there.)
New tool for our online databases! Now you can access ATLA and other tools with your Blackberry, iPhone, or other mobile devices. You connect using the link http://search.ebscohost.mobi/ and use the same login information as with a computer. More support information can be found at http://support.epnet.com/knowledge_base/detail.php?id=4431 . Even full text articles can be read on your device (PDF), so for our mobile fanatics, check it out! (If you need the password, stop in the Library or give us a call.)
Students in the ARP History class have just read about a controversy in 18th century Scotland around a book, The Marrow of Modern Divinity, concerning the free offer of the Gospel. The book itself is in the library, but Dr. Sinclair Ferguson has given 3 excellent lectures on it that greatly clarify the doctrines in question and make application in our time. Go to www.misterrichardson.com/ferguson.html and scroll down for the links (of course, the rest of his material is wonderful too).
Added note: There is now a Facebook group for ‘Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine’ if you’re interested in a forum to learn more.
Ebenezer & Ralph Erskine
You can still receive a 30-minute individual tutorial. After this week (Sep. 25), just send an email to Ken McMullen to arrange a time that will work for you. The primary focus of the instruction will be on the ATLA journals database.

If you’ve not seen 
them already, there are 2 new books out by RTS-Charlotte faculty. Dr. Robert Cara’s 1-2 Thessalonians is out in the EP Study Commentary series. Dr. John Currid’s Expectant Prophet: Habakkuk Simply Explained in the Welwyn Commentary series is also just out. Both are available (or soon will be) in the RTS bookstore and of course in our Library.
We are now posting a selected list of new titles added to the RTS-Charlotte Library online at www.librarything.com/catalog/rtsclibrary. The first time you visit, you may need to click on the “Your library” tab and select the most recent “new titles” collection. We will not list every single book we acquire here, but enough to give you a sense of what has been added lately. We also continue to display new titles on the top of the Reference shelving so you can browse through them when you’re in the Library as well. Note also that there will be a ‘new book additions’ link on the left side of this page for future connecting.
The Library has 
recently purchased a number of new audio CDs on a variety of subjects by people such as Donald G. Barnhouse, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, and others. All audio titles can be checked out by students for 2-weeks at a time. Some of these are books-on-CD, others are recorded sermons or conference sessions. They will be on display for a while with the new books.
A reminder to those taking History of Christianity I this week – many resources can be found full-text online at places such as www.ccel.org, where the entire Church Fathers set and more is available. While you may not want to read a lengthy section online, one benefit is that you can perform keyword searches of the texts online. Another interesting resource is the Hall of Church History, which points you to a number of good resources from around the web. Here in the Library, most church history works will be in the “BR” section, with some also in the “BX” range. Let us know how we can help you find what you need.
Here’s a good review of the new version:

If you have not tried this, you really should (he says in his best Billy Mays voice…). The best change is that now you have access to your files from any computer, not just one. Bravo!
