One More Source for Good Recipes

If you love good recipes, from reputable magazines, here is a Database the Library offers: The Culinary Arts Collection.
With 370 different culinary magazines, such as
Better Nutrition for Today's Living, Candy Business, Catering Update, Cheese Market News and Restaurant Business, just to name a few, who could ask for more?
I appreciate the fact that one can search recipes for people with dietary restrictions as well. Coverage includes thousands of searchable recipes, restaurant reviews, and industry information.
One may even find a long lost recipe since the collection covers full text articles published between 1980 and 2011.

Need a phone number?

Where are those white pages when you need them? Did you recycle them? Did the puppy chew them up? Or did you just not receive one? Don’t stress about it, we can help! Reference has several phone number directories listed at http://www.slcl.org/research/subject/835. Once at this link, Anywho or Switchboard are a couple of the options. These are even better than the white pages, because you can look up phone numbers in other states, too. Sorry though, if a phone number is unlisted or is a cell phone number, then it won’t be available.

So go ahead, check for that friend who moved to Peoria, your uncle in Tennessee, or your old neighbor.
