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

  

A table with staff picks for DVDs.



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 to help guide you to titles, or at our selection of staff DVD picks or our Black History Month display. You may also skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in January!  

We added 97 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: 

  • Bottoms up and the devil laughs : a journey through the deep state / Kerry Howley
  • Slow down : the degrowth manifesto / written by Kōhei Saitō 
  • Filterworld : how algorithms flattened culture / Kyle Chayka
  • The feminist killjoy handbook : the radical potential of getting in the way / Sara Ahmed
  • More : a memoir of open marriage / by Molly Roden Winter
  • Earlier / Sasha Frere-Jones
  • Things that go bump in the universe : how astronomers decode cosmic chaos / C. Renée James
  • Nuts & bolts : seven small inventions that changed the world (in a big way) / Roma Agrawal
  • The blue machine : how the ocean works / Helen Czerski
  • Mapping the darkness : the visionary scientists who unlocked the mysteries of sleep / Kenneth Miller
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!
