Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:21:36 -0500The Kresge Library has been undergoing quite a change over the summer. In addition to the new group study rooms on the second floor, we also have added a new toupee...well, green roof! Our green roof is part of the LEED Certification for the new home for the Ross School of Business building at the Ann Arbor Campus.
Here are some pictures during the installation of the sedum on the green roof.
If you are wondering what is a green roof, the benefits include:
-Returns less water to the sewer systems - less run-off
-Kresge Library's fourth floor should be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
-Help filter pollutants and CO2 out of the air - instead of just adding heat into the environment.

Gale has announced that major updates have been made to the Business & Company Resource Center database.
35 new report providers, including Standard & Poor's Outlook and Ibersecurities, have been added to the database, increasing the number of reports available to over 1.5 million.
Additionally, the "Financials" tab that appears on company profiles now allows users to access dynamic and exportable data to study a company across time, compare a company with their competitors, and perform other analysis more easily.
More information on these updates can be found on Gale's new company blog.
