Brown Media Archives: The balance between federal and state power is a recurring theme in the American political dialogue as seen in this 1962 clip of HEW Secretary Anthony J. Celebrezze speaking at the National Press Club: http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/news/id:wsbn34627 The Media Archives of the Libraries host a vast assortment of films and images for use in research and the classroom, including the first episode of Sesame Street . On days when things aren’t going your way, take a look and see how much you really DO know—numbers, colors and the alphabet, just for starters…
Fall Semester… Begins in 24 days. Do you have projects in mind? Help your students by arranging for Nadine Cohen or Carla Wilson Buss to visit your class and take the fear out of researching. We are also available for new faculty orientations and new grad student orientations. We don’t have a rabbit like this guy (nor do we have a rabbit disaster plan) but we can help. It’s what we do.
The Smithsonian Museums: Do you know all that the Smithsonian Museums offer to teachers? Even if you are absolutely sure you know all about it, take a second to visit their site and maybe discover something new.
Ordering Continues: The ordering season is upon us. If you have a suggestion for a one-time purchase you would like the Libraries to purchase, please let Carla Wilson Buss know. Shopping for the State—it’s the perfect job.
Fall Reserves: It is not too late to submit a Course Reserve list for Fall semester 2013. Lists we received before the deadline of July 8, 2013 are guaranteed to be on reserve before Fall semester begins but lists received after the deadline will be processed as quickly as possible. If you would like to submit a list, please do so as soon as possible so that the Libraries can process it before the semester begins.
