As you might have heard, the English-language version of Wikipedia is one of many websites (including the Internet Archive) going dark on Wednesday, January 18th, to protest bills in congress that many internet users feel threaten the web. SOPA (Stop Internet Piracy Act - H.R. 6231) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act, S. 968) are supported by associations representing the the film,

Dr. Peterson's Exposition The United States of America remembers the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that occurred on 7 December 1941, seventy years ago.  You might be wondering how Gustavus responded in the event's immediate aftermath.  Editors of the Gustavian Weekly printed their first post-attack newspaper two days after the bombing.  While the infamous action failed to make the

For Gustavus owned titles the general collection book can be borrowed for 6 weeks and renewed one time so............. if you borrow the book on Sept. 15, it will be due Nov. 1., you renew it and now it is due the week of finals!Renewing

This post is for everyone who believes library books "borrowed" belong personally to them. There is a word for the disease that irks me most and it is "marginalia"! The need of a person to write notes in the margins, underline or highlight text, use pen, marker, pencil, or anything that is either impossible or time consuming to remove. The next reader of the book doesn't care what you thought

Thanks to the efforts of Lacie Micek, an archives student worker, there is a wonderful new display on the windows of the College and Lutheran Church Archives. Using the 2011 homecoming theme of "black and gold never gets old," she created a visually appealing display of images depicting life at Gustavus since the institution moved to St. Peter in the mid 1870s. Micek utilized the

With Beck Hall now open, it may be tempting to use the library's staff-only rear exit as a short cut. Because libraries need security, we hope you won't find it too inconvenient to use the front door instead. We know we can trust you, but not everyone is as trustworthy. So you will find that back entrance locked. If you want to visit library staff, please do - but we encourage you to use the

Just a bit of advance warning: we're making a switch to a new front page for the library's website and a new look for all the secondary pages that will match the college's current web design. We hope to launch it before school starts. The new front page will be streamlined, drawing on the findings of a study that involved focus groups and user testing with students.

As some of you have noticed, we are having a monthly book drawing in the library. Each month we put a new book out near the portrait of Count Folke Bernadotte just inside the front door. Put your name and e-mail address into the box nearby and at the end of the month you may be the lucky winner. So far we've given away a book by a Nobel speaker, the Reading in Common book, and a book by a

(Moodle does a lot more than that, though. If you're interested in the bells and whistles, request assistance from the Moodle gurus.)It's okay to post small portions of a work.

The College and Lutheran Church Archives has been, for the most part, in its current location since the opening of the second Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library in late 1972. During that last thirty-eight years many items have been collected. Thousands of acid-free boxes serve as home to the unique documents, photographs, recordings, and numerous other miscellaneous materials created by and

Today is the anniversary of the Armistice Day Blizzard of November 1940. The Monday started much like today with unseasonably warm temperatures that had climbed to the low 60s during the afternoon. However, the weather changed quickly and temperatures dropped by 40 degrees over the next several hours. A large and powerful winter storm rolled across the Midwest bringing strong winds, sleet, and

 We are offering a new course (.25 credits) in which students will read and discuss two or more books, including a contemporary work of fiction or non-fiction announced in advance and a book chosen by the student. The book being discussed this spring is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It has been praised in many quarters and raises important questions about science, race,

We know that as busy as students are, they often can't really settle down to work on their papers until 9:00 pm or later And 10pm is when the librarians are yawning, hanging up the reference shingle, and heading to bed. (Okay, one of us is a night owl, but he's the exception to the rule.) We're trying a new experiment. With the help of two talented student employees who volunteered to get some

At the entrance to the library are security gates. Every book we own and equipment now too, are secured so that unless we desensitize items, the alarm (or beeping) will sound as you leave the building. Our items, books, computers, DVD’s, CD’s, etc., are precious to us. We want everyone to be able to use our resources, but responsibly, by checking things out at the circulation desk

We're coming to the end of the now-annual celebration of the Open Access movement. The idea of open access is that knowledge is most useful when it can be shared and is not behind barriers. As anyone who has done research in our library knows, there are limits to our collection, both print and online. Sharing among libraries helps, but even so we often run into situations where we need to pay a

A new addition is being added to the Gustavus campus! Literally! Construction of the "New Academic Building" is underway, and to keep with the theme, the College and Lutheran Church Archives have brought you a new display, "Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes: Buildings at Gustavus." The display chronicles how particular buildings at the college have changed, progressed, and even been demolished over time.
