Internet Ranks Behind Only TV for Science News
According to an article published in USA Today, the Internet ranks behind only television as the leading source for science news and information. However, most users won't trust what they read online blindly, the study finds. About 80% of those who get science information online try to check its accuracy elsewhere -- another online source, offline resources or the original study -- and many of them use more than one alternative.

What is ABLE and Why Can't I Erase the White Boards in the Study Rooms
Three to four times a semester, the study rooms in the AG-VET MED Library are reserved for veterinary students engaged in week-long problem-based learning (a.k.a. ABLE in the UT CVM) sessions on cases commonly seen in veterinary practice, as a supplement to facts-based learning.
Each ABLE group is assigned a study room. The white boards in the study rooms record learning issues and other important case-related information. If the white boards are erased during the week it is a significant setback for the students working in that group.
During ABLE weeks: DO NOT ERASE the white boards in the study rooms. Unoccupied rooms may be used by non-veterinary students during the week as long as the white boards are untouched. Check at the service desk if in you have questions.
