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

The Gardner-Harvey Library banned books display for October


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 the New Media Display for some of the titles, or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in September!  You may also want to take a look at our monthly book display near the front entrance, which is currently featuring banned books for Banned Books Week (Oct. 2-6). You can also get your picture taken with a banned book (or other book) and we'll create a free READ poster for you.

We added 127 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: 
  • Your face belongs to us : a secretive startup's quest to end privacy as we know it / Kashmir Hill
  • Never whistle at night : an Indigenous dark fiction anthology / edited by Shane Hawk & Theodore C. Van Alst Jr
  • Wealth supremacy : how the extractive economy and the biased rules of capitalism drive today's crises / Marjorie Kelly
  • No place to go : how public toilets fail our private needs / Lezlie Lowe
  • Qualitative literacy : a guide to evaluating ethnographic and interview research / Mario Luis Small, Jessica McCrory Calarco
  • Undoing drugs : how harm reduction is changing the future of drugs and addiction / Maia Szalavitz
  • Inclusive teaching : strategies for promoting equity in the college classroom / Kelly A. Hogan and Viji Sathy
  • What you are looking for is in the library : a novel / Michiko Aoyama 
  • The fraud / Zadie Smith
  • The book of (more) delights / Ross Gay
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. 

If you know some titles we should add, we have acquisitions funds available.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection!
