Library Living Room

Library Living Room

, Library Resources, Matt Dilworth
The library has a new type of study space!  Quirky and informal, our new Library Living Room, available in Hayes 253 on the second floor of the library, offers a new way to study and learn.  Primarily for teaching classes, the room features all the Smart Classroom amenities you’re already comfortable with, such as a projection screen and laptops for students to follow along.   But when not being used for classes, there are board games and comfortable furniture for students to relax and unwind, or study in a colorful and inviting setting.  The décor and amenities in this room were made possible with a generous donation from Peggy Hollingsworth, retired librarian from Connersville High School and an IU alumna. … Continued

The Library has a new booksale cart, stylized like a medieval book vendor!  Situated right outside the library in Hayes Hall, we are selling a lot of great surplus books that just don’t quite fit our academic mission. If you’ve ever been in the library on the week of a book sale, you know what a pain it could be getting around, with tables full of books in the way of everything.  But now, we have the excitement of the old book sale in a much less obtrusive format! Just a few of the great titles on the cart right now are Dorothy on the Rocks, The Cootie Catcher Book, Complete Guide to Gardening, A Book of Word Games, and … Continued

Alumni are amazing. It’s a network of people across time and professions, but connected through a place that had an important impact on all our lives. Being an IU alumna twice-over (School of Library and Information Science 1981, 1991) I was especially gratified to attain a library position at IU East in 2009. I soon got involved with the Eastern Chapter of the IU Alumni Association and due to our common IU experience, immediately felt comfortable with the members.

Would you like to star in a video?  The library is producing a music video to promote LibGuides.  Libguides are a resource tool for specific subjects and courses. They include links to just about everything you need to do reliable research – books, e-books, articles, videos, websites.  You can see samples at http://iue.libguides.com/. So we need actors (and singers!) for the video, which will be viewed on IU East’s YouTube channel.  Most of the parts are entirely physical acting – there’s very little dialogue, if you’re nervous about delivering lines.  Most of the actors will ‘act out’ using the LibGuides. And you’ll be famous!  Our previous library video was viewed more than 1400 times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IENKivi3pEg.  You’ll be fully credited for … Continued
