Pop-up DIY Headshots this week at the Gardner-Harvey Library

 

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to stop by the Gardner-Harvey Library on the Middletown campus this Thursday and Friday, May 5th and 6th, for a do-it-yourself business portrait. Great for LinkedIn, e-mail, and other professional profiles. Come by between 9am to 7pm on Thursday, and 9am and 5pm on Friday!

New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in April!

We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out. Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in April! We added 231 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. There is definitely something here for everyone!

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

• Otherlands : a journey through Earth's extinct worlds / Thomas Halliday
• The end of astronauts : why robots are the future of exploration / Donald Goldsmith and Martin Rees
• At the end of the world, turn left / Zhanna Slor
• The candy house : a novel / Jennifer Egan
• Not exactly lying : fake news and fake journalism in American history / Andie Tucher
• Grey bees / Andrey Kurkov   translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk
• Africa's struggle for its art : history of a postcolonial defeat / Bénédicte Savoy   translated by Susanne Meyer-Abich"
• The intersection of high-impact practices : what's next for higher education? / Shauna Reilly and Samantha Langley-Turnbaugh
• Trigger points : inside the mission to stop mass shootings in America / Mark Follman
• A series of fortunate events : chance and the making of the planet, life, and you / Sean B. Carroll

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.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Alan Kelley (kelleya@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!
