Spring 2023 Reminders & Projects

Welcome to the Spring Semester. Just a few general housekeeping reminders from the library:

1. Please check the "library resources" tab on the navigation menu in your Canvas course. If the LibGuide is not what you want, let me know! LibGuides can be built for a general subject, but they can also be course or assignment specific. 

2. While in Canvas, check your links to any Films on Demand or library eBooks you have embedded. The content in our databases changes often and I can't see where individual pieces are used. 

3. There are multiple videos and modules available for use in Canvas, from the basics of database searching to evaluating sources to managing the research process and I am always ready to create more. Let's chat!

During winter term, the Reference Librarian team worked on an eBook purchasing plan. This resulted in every department on campus receiving multiple eBooks that students will be able to access "in perpetuity," unlike our eBook package, which has thousands of titles but changes all the time. It provides me with the opportunity to be intentional about the format of library books and purchase titles I may not otherwise prioritize, such as 

Boom and Bust by William Quinn; John D. Turner

Call Number: eBook

ISBN: 9781108421256

Publication Date: 2020-08-06

Why do stock and housing markets sometimes experience amazing booms followed by massive busts and why is this happening more and more frequently? As they do so, they help us understand why bubbles happen, and why some have catastrophic economic, social and political consequences whilst others have actually benefited society. They reveal that bubbles start when investors and speculators react to new technology or political initiatives, showing that our ability to predict future bubbles will ultimately come down to being able to predict these sparks.

Please encourage your students to attend the fabulous line-up of Black History Month events; some are virtual and some are in person. We hope to see you here!
