Welcome New Faculty & Grads & Staff: …and well, everyone, actually. If you have new people in your department, please send them to Nadine Cohen in the Main Library, or Carla Wilson Buss in 207 Aderhold. We are both delighted to meet new people and show them what the Libraries can do for them. Distance isn’t an issue. You call. We come. Couldn’t be easier.

From the Education & Social Science Librarians Listserv: Free online life sciences education blog update. There is a free online resource developed to increase learner engagement and educator content knowledge. “As Many Exceptions as Rules” tells the stories of organisms that break biological rules or norms in order to survive and thrive. Through these stories, the core concepts of the science are reinforced. The resource can be accessed at http://biologicalexceptions.blogspot.com. Posted weekly, each story includes pertinent vocabulary with etymology, interesting questions to spark discussion, links to the reports from the latest research on the subject being discussed, and a list of online resources for more information and classroom activities.
