New books added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in June!

We are adding many new items to the collection each month, and making sure that you can see them on display! Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in June! We added 248 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title.

Here are eight titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 

  • Range : why generalists triumph in a specialized world / David Epstein
  • Volcanoes, palm trees, and privilege : essays on Hawai'i / Liz Prato
  • Surviving genocide : native nations and the United States from the American Revolution to bleeding Kansas / Jeffrey Ostler
  • Underland : a deep time journey / Robert Macfarlane
  • Behind the screen : content moderation in the shadows of social media / Sarah T. Roberts
  • The conservative sensibility / George F. Will
  • Wordslut : a feminist guide to taking back the English language / Amanda Montell
  • Lima : limón / Natalie Scenters-Zapico
This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

We had a very successful 2018-19 academic year, adding 2082 items to our collection.  Thank you for all of your suggestions and requests!  We've started our new fiscal year on July 1, and we're ready for new requests for the 2019-2020 academic year.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Amy Carmichael (carmicae@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways. 

Thanks again for keeping our collection vibrant and your information needs met!
