DATABASE TRIAL

The library is fortunate to have the Ebsco Special Manuscript Collections on trial through January 31.  This fascinating database contains digital versions of rare archival content and historical primary sources such as books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, broadsides, manuscripts, diaries, government documents, and ephemera.  The collections included are African American Archives, Native American Archives, Revolutionary War Archives, World War II Archives, and U.S. Bureau of Investigation (now known as the FBI) Case Files.  Researchers have the rare opportunity to view all of the typography, graphics and drawings as they were originally presented.  Since we have an extended trial period, there is plenty of time to peruse this exciting resource.  From the library website, simply click on "Find Articles and More..", then below to the right, click on "Trial Database Offerings" and you're good to go!

STUDY ROOMS AVAILABLE IN GODDARD LIBRARY

With the end of fall semester quickly approaching, we would like to remind students, faculty and staff of the availability of study rooms in Goddard Library.  We have seven group study rooms which will accommodate up to six people.  The rooms are for small group discussion and quiet study.  Rooms may be reserved up to two weeks in advance with a UCR ID card for a maximum of two consecutive hours.  Study rooms are equipped with flat screen televisions and other equipment.  Rooms are available for use during all 79 hours the library is open each week.  To reserve a study room, simply visit the Goddard Library website and use the "Study Rooms" tab to the left of the screen.

MINNESOTA AUTHOR WINS NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Minnesota author Louis Erdrich has been awarded the National Book Award for her latest novel, The Round House.  Erdrich, who is part Ojibwe, has been writing for nearly 30 years.  Her first novel, Love Medicine, was an immediate success, winning the 1984 National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction, among other honors.

Erdrich has lived in Minneapolis since 1999.  She and her sister own Birchbark Books, Herbs and Native Arts in the Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis.

The Goddard Library has a copy of The Round House, as well as many other works by Louise Erdrich.  Stop in and take a look!
