CyberSkeptic Tips for March

Here at Central we take a publication called “The CyberSkeptic’s Guide to Internet Research.”  This month’s publication gives several links to the FBI FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) website.  Here researchers can read about many famous investigations performed by the FBI including UFO sightings and celebrity scandals.  There are many different FOIA electronic reading rooms for the different departments of the US government, just Google FOIA Reading Room to find them.

New Month …

Happy March to all, and to those looking for something to celebrate, look no further.  Historically, March has been celebrated as the beginning of the new year by many cultures (Great Britain did until 1752.)  On a more recent note, in the United States March is National Red Cross Month, National Caffeine Awareness Month, National Cheerleading Safety Month, National Nutrition Month, and National Women’s History Month.  On this particular day in history, Alexander Graham Bell was born, Time Magazine was first published (85 years ago), and TV show “Moonlighting” premiered in 1985.  There are many more interesting facts to be found about this month.  To learn more, talk to your Reference Librarian.
