Twilight @Your Library -- finally!

Yup, that’s right. We have “Twilight” on DVD in the library. A promise is a promise, after all.

Now, don’t everyone race over here at once. We have one copy, the call number is 1669V, and you all have to share. Remember sharing? Crayons in kindergarten, swings in elementary school, Wii sets with your siblings (and parents!)…If you are lucky enough to snag the library copy of Twilight off the shelf, be kind and return it in a timely basis so others may enjoy it as well. Don’t make me turn this library around and go home!

Now, for those of you whose tastes might not include angst-ridden teen vampires, perhaps you would enjoy one of these other new additions to the library DVD collection:

Bolt 1670V
Milk 1674V
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas 1673V
Rachel Getting Married 1672V
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist 1677V
Bottleshock 1675V
The Changeling 1671V

…and yes, when “New Moon” comes out on DVD, the library will get a copy. We promise (again).
But you have to wait for the movie to be made, released in theatres, pirated overseas and finally released in the U.S. Sorry, but that’s how it works.

Stay tuned!

Visual Resumes are Opening Doors for New Grads

posted by Kelley Griffith

I was flipping from one radio station to another on my drive home yesterday evening and landed on NPR just in time to tune in to All Things Considered. I was particularly struck by the report on the increased use of Visual Resumes among young professionals and new college grads. Visual Resumes utilize social networking sites and multimedia to create a dynamic online resume. Young professionals and new grads are turning to Visual Resumes to promote their myriad skills.

Many perspective employers gather additional information about job candidates by using social networking sites such as Blogs, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. The Visual Resume allows candidates to direct potential employers to organized and well thought out sites that best represent their skills. The Visual Resume works best as a networking tool but a link can be included in a static print resume to encourage perspective employers to dig a little deeper. Free resume building sites include VisualCV, Zolio, and GigTide.

The library has a variety of tools and resources to assist students in building online resumes. Students may borrow digital still cameras and digital video cameras from the library. Training on setting up and using blogs, podcasts and Facebook can be requested. Technology librarians can also assist student in using our video editing and podcasting software. Feel free to contact Edward Mandity or Kata Koppel for assistance.

Spring in Seattle & Board Games@Your Library Kelley Griffith 3/13/2009

It's not technically spring but the temps have been bouncing from one extreme to the other this week and I've decided to observe spring in my tiny corner of the world. Kata, Eddie and Elizabeth are off to Seattle attending the Association of Research Libraries Conference. I'm here at home minding the books and with way too much free time on my hands. The very idea of "too much time on my hands" generally creates a state of consternation within the library staff. I tend to develop some of my better grandiose plans when no one is around to administer a reality check. Sr. Joel and I have been watching over the HML for the last three days and I have had an inordinate time to plan. National Library Week is a month away and this may be the best celebration yet. Everybody loves a petting zoo, right?
Anyway, our greatest achievement this week has been cataloging and making board games, courtesy of the MC Gaming Club, available for circulation. In all modesty my contribution was simply pointing to the shelves where the items should be placed. Sr. Joel was responsible for all other aspect of processing these items. The collection includes, Twister, Apples to Apples, Chinese checkers, chess, Clue, Risk, Pictureka, and many more. To view a title list search the Reserve Collection Catalog, type in "student council" in the text box and search by Professor. Board games will circulate for one week and will be treated like any other library material. Lost items will be subject to replacement fees, replacement cost + 5.00 processing fee.

Spring Break Reading @YourLibrary

Hitting the road for spring break? Make sure you pack a book -- and I don’t mean that thing you’re supposed to read for that class you intend to skip so you can catch the early flight to Cancun.
No, what you need is some good, old fashioned leisure reading. The library can help, with over 275 titles in the Leisure Reading collection.

Recent additions include:

Beach reading:
College Girl: A Novel, Patricia Weitz
For some this may feel like autobiography. Every college student can see a bit of themselves in Natalie, the first in her family to attend college and somewhat intimidated by the experience. Living in the dorm is worlds away from commuting to the local college and living at home, and her struggles to fit in socially while excelling academically make for a riveting read.

The Associate, John Grisham
Kyle is a law student with a deep, dark secret. Unscrupulous people use that secret to manipulate the law student, who may or may not triumph in the end. Classic Grisham, pure and simple.

Cultivate an intellectual look by the pool:

The Canal Builders
, Julie Greene
A cultural history of the Panama Canal, bringing to light the human element involved – tens of thousands of workers from around the world, who traveled to Panama to build the canal that cemented America’s place as dominant player on the world stage.

We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land, Jimmy Carter
The latest book from former President Carter, outlining his plan for a peace agreement in the holy land.

Riveting reading – keeps you from ever actually getting to the pool:

A Mad Desire to Dance
, Elie Wiesel
A novel from the author of Night. Wiesel tells the story of Doriel, son of members of the resistance who survived WWII only to perish in an accident. Doriel is haunted by images of the war and an inability to enjoy even the most basic happiness. Through the study of Judaism and later psychoanalysis, Doriel comes to a heartbreaking revelation about his life.

The Second Opinion, Michael Palmer
A speedy, cat-and-mouse thriller from the author of The First Patient and Extreme Measures. A doctor must fight to keep her father alive while trying to unravel an intricate conspiracy surrounding the very doctors trusted to save lives.

A list of the most recent additions to the Leisure Collection may be viewed via this link on the library website. For you techies in the crowd, subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates when new titles are added.

Post-Cupid Closeouts @YourLibrary


Did Cupid’s arrow woefully misfire AGAIN? Have you had it up to here with all things pink, red and heart-shaped? If so, step away that big bag of half-price candy you bought on the 15th and head over to the library today for a little post-Valentine bailout. We can’t guarantee it will change your life, but it might be fun.

Grab Bag of Love
(Get your mind out of the gutter – this is a G, or at least PG-rated promotion)

Pick up a free novel while they last! Might be a romance, might be a thriller. It’s a grab bag – the books will be wrapped up, so you get what you get. Kinda like internet dating.

n.b. I’m sorry, but the copy of “Truly, Madly, Viking” has already been snapped up.

Offbeat Love Stories a la Hollywood
If romance novels aren’t your thing, perhaps checking out a DVD will cheer you up. Okay, maybe they aren’t romantic standards, but haven’t we all had enough of that for a while?

Lars and the Real Girl 233V
Love and commitment in the frozen north, with bowling.

Borat 125V
Unrequited love, Pamela Anderson, and a road trip! Hah! Didn’t realize Borat qualified as a romance, did you?

Love Guru 1592V
Mike Myers, Jessica Alba and a chastity belt. Hearts, flowers and a really awful accent.

Wristcutters: A Love Story 1512V
Love and hitchhiking in a place that is not quite purgatory, not quite afterlife. Good times!

Dr. Strangelove 72V
Okay, so this has nothing to do with romance, offbeat or otherwise. But it has “love” in the title, so it’s on the list. A classic, just not a romantic classic.

Juno 1501V
Are Juno MacGuff and Paulie Bleeker the next Bradgelina? Probably not, but theirs is not typical Hollywood romance, either.

The Grab Bag of Love will be located on the first floor of the library, while supplies last. The DVD collection is located on the second floor of the library, near the Leisure Collection books. So, shake off that lovelorn attitude and stop in for some post-Cupid bailout fun, @YourLibrary!

Taxes --- ARGH!!

Yes, the tax man cometh --- as if the arctic temps and seasonal affective disorder isn't enough to push me over the edge. My various personal financial forms are trickling in and I'm casting about for the appropriate bribe that will convince my brother-in-law to once again act as my personal tax consultant. Contemplating the completion of those evil forms is my least favorite thing to do -- taking my car in for an oil change tops the list. If bribery doesn't work I'll probably just whine a little to my sister and bring up all the "free" babysitting I've provided over the last year. I plan to use any leverage available to me!

I'm sure I'n not alone and to make life easy you can download IRS and Indiana tax forms at these links

Federal:


Indiana State:
Feel free to ask a librarian at the Reference Desk for assistance when downloading forms.
Also, the IRS provides tax tips and this one is worth reading in full, IRS TAX TIP 2009-06…Be aware of e-mail scams that fraudulently use the IRS name or Logo as a lure. The goal of the scam is to trick people into revealing personal and financial information, such as Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers, which the scammers can use to commit identity theft and steal your money.

Warm up with new Leisure Reading


Brrrrrr...yep, it’s cold. Even to a native Michigander such as myself, for whom layering clothes is a genetically acquired trait. But, since you’re all bundled up anyway, why not stop in at the library to 1. warm up on your way across campus, and 2. pick up some leisure reading material for cold winter evenings by the fire (or reasonable facsimile – I do not want to take the rap as accessory to arson).

New this week to the Leisure Reading Collection:

The Magician’s Book: A Skeptic’s Adventures in Narnia, Laura Miller
A writer, editor and co-founder of Salon.com reflects on a lifetimes’ fascination with the works of C.S. Lewis. Miller has revisited The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe many times, as a youth, angst-ridden teen and most recently as an adult in search of the magic that originally captivated her imagination. Part biography (of Lewis), part memoir with some criticism thrown in, The Magician’s Book is a must for those of us still longing to find the secret passage in the back of the wardrobe.

The Art of Conversation: A Guided Tour of a Neglected Pleasure, Catherine Blyth
In a time when an array of communication technologies and social networking opportunities vie for our attention and devotion, this book extols the virtues of the face-to-face conversation. Blyth offers tips on overcoming shyness, listening techniques, steering the conversation, and the importance of artful small talk. This is not an exhaustive sociolinguistic treatise; it’s more of a conversation, for lack of a better word. It’s interesting, useful and probably should be required reading for the IM-obsessed. As Simon Doonan says on a cover blurb, “Don’t let modern technology turn you into an uncommunicative ninny”.

Scarpetta, Patricia Cornwell
For those of you already familiar with Kay Scarpetta, forensic pathologist and solver of gruesome psychological crimes, this book is probably already on your nightstand or in your bag. Each new Scarpetta novel takes the reader deep into the mind, often exposing the most horrid and undesirable aspects of the human psyche. In this book, Scarpetta is off to New York to consult on a case at Bellevue Hospital at the insistence of the patient himself. To say more will give away the story, and as true fans understand, it’s better to let the story unfold in Cornwell’s words. Highly recommended for anyone suffering from Gil Grissom withdrawal after this week’s episode of CSI.

Shadows at Dawn: A Borderlands Massacre and the Violence of History, Karl Jacoby
Referred to at the time as the Camp Grant Massacre, this book is a revealing look at one of the worst Indian massacres in American history. In the early morning of 30 April 1871, a group of Americans, Mexicans and Tohono O’odham Indians attacked an Apache camp, killing 150 - mostly women and children. Using a nearly forgotten incident, the author details a difficult period in American history – violence against Indians during the “Peace Policy” period, and how it shaped the way in which American western history is remembered, and retold, by the various groups involved.

Other recent additions to Leisure Reading:

Fiction:
Lark and Termite: A Novel, Jayne Anne Phillips
The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet, Colleen McCullough
NoVA: A Novel, James Boice
Plum Lucky, Janet Evanovich
Gears of the City, Felix Gilman
Calling Mr. Lonely Hearts, Laura Benedict

Non-Fiction:
Hope Endures: Leaving Mother Teresa, Losing Faith and Searching for Meaning, Colette Livermore
Digging for Dirt: The Life and Death of ODB, Jaime Lowe
The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle, Russell, Miller

Story Collections:
The First Person, and Other Stories, Ali Smith
The Red Convertible, Selected and New Stories, Louise Erdrich

This is just a brief sampling of titles available in the Leisure Reading Collection, located on the second floor of the library. Stop in and warm up with a good book, it’s just the thing for cold winter days!

Twilight@YourLibrary -- new DVDs


Okay, okay! We get it. You want a copy of Twilight in the library DVD collection.

Traitor, 1642V

Holiday Burnout @YourLibrary - adjusted hours for semester break


Signs that the holiday season may have already taken its toll…

Instead of writing letters to Santa, you find yourself plotting reindeer abductions and cutting words of out of magazines for ransom notes. Spelling Comet or Cupid with a K seems more menacing, doesn’t it?

Eggnog is not enough to take the edge off – not even the lethal stuff your Uncle Brian cooks up. Yeah, that Uncle Brian, the one who works at a distillery.

The Carol of the Bells sounds like nothing more than ringing in the ears. Incessant, cacophonous ringing. Please…make it stop…

You begin to understand “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” from the reindeer’s perspective.

Instead of making your usual snowflake-shaped cookies, you find yourself crafting little headless elves. Or rabid reindeer. Or maybe zombie elves. Be aware that there is a limit to what is considered “art therapy”.

“Do You Hear What I Hear?” takes on a whole new meaning when you’re talking about the little voices in your head.


Latkes seem lackluster. It’s a dark day when a plate of warm, crispy carbohydrates can’t cheer a person up.

Carolers on your doorstep incite nothing but ire. You can try to rationalize throwing snowballs at the carolers any way you like, but assault is assault and they have the sheriff on speed dial this year.

You realize (far too late in the game) that there is such a thing as too much green bean casserole.

It’s been a long semester, hasn’t it? Before you head over the river, through the woods and into the mall one last time, consider stopping by the library to pick up some leisure reading for the flight, or maybe a DVD or two for the road trip. If the door is locked, well…we have our reasons. Just leave the ransom and no one has to lose any antlers.

Happy Holidays
from the staff of the Hackelmeier Memorial Library!

Talk Turkey: Thanksgiving Schedule



You might be a pilgrim if…



You know what a blunderbuss is, and how to load one.


You can’t resist big, square black shoes with buckles. Yes, they go with everything, but they are not necessarily flattering in every shoe size.


Spelling Squanto’s name is easier for you than spelling Lindsey Lohan. In fact, Squanto is the name you use when ordering pizzas and dodging the paparazzi at fancy hotels.

When you head out on the town dressed in black, people on the street mistake you for John Winthrop, not Johnny Cash.

Being describes as a “Puritan” doesn’t make you feel particularly uptight, just historically accurate.

You are overcome by the urge to hunt turkeys with that blunderbuss.

Marshmallows in the candied yams are a needless luxury. Come to think of it, so are the candied yams. You’ll have turkey jerky and like it!

Give yourself a break this Thanksgiving -- enjoy the festivities, do some holiday shopping, maybe take a nap. If you find yourself thinking about school work, remember that resources are available on the library website 24/7/365. However, the library building will be closed during the break, to allow staff some time off to enjoy the holiday.


Please note the adjusted operating schedule for the Thanksgiving holiday:


Tuesday, November 25 7:30 am – 8:00 pm

Wednesday, November 26 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

Thursday – Saturday, Nov. 27-29 closed

Homecoming @Your Library

Top Ten Reasons to Celebrate Homecoming at Marian College
October 15-18

There is no better way to show school spirit than losing all your chips at a Casino Night. Too bad you can’t write that off as a donation to the scholarship fund.

Resurrecting a cherished fall tradition – burning effigies at the bonfire Friday night. Watch out for flaming marshmallows!

Have you heard? Sr. Norma plans to QB one of the powder puff teams. Rumor has it she taught Brady Quinn everything he knows.

Homecoming. Not just a song by Green Day anymore.

It’s really too bad there won’t be a parade. We’ve been stockpiling tissue paper and chicken wire for months. Indestructible piƱatas, anyone?

Plans to build a Trojan Knight have been cancelled. Turns out that idea mixes mascot metaphors, and we just can’t have that kind of thing.

Well, you need something to entertain your family with during Family Weekend. They aren’t coming all that way just to hang out in your dorm room, now are they?

Does anyone drive a vehicle that actually has a tailgate? And what about the back of a truck says “let’s eat”, anyway? Funny how some traditions evolve…

Admit it – you secretly enjoy it when ancient alums show up VERY early in the morning (i.e. before noon), wanting to see their old dorm room.

I love the smell of bratwurst grilling in the morning. Smells like victory! (Go Knights!)

LibGuides

Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Memorial Library is pleased to announce the addition of Libguides, a new service designed to help students, faculty and staff locate research resources specific to their discipline or course. Previously we have relied on our print guides available for download, but this new online platform is much more dynamic.

Basically, LibGuides is a library-specific content management systems that allows us to list our most important resources in tabular format, to help ease the burden of research related assignments and to provide a general starting point when students simply don't know where to start looking for research items. Books, journals, databases, online resources, we are able to list them all according to subject for quick access.

Though we're in our beginning phase of creating our guides, we have about fourteen created and are continually adding more. So if you are either a student or faculty member who doesn't see a subject listing, let us know and we'll create one for you.

Just in time for those leisurely fall afternoons when you’re dying to relax with a good read (i.e. not required for class)! Here are a just a few highlights of new books in the Leisure Reading Collection:


Supreme Courtship, by Christopher Buckley
What would happen if the president of the United States nominated a tv judge to the Supreme Court? A comic novel that delves into the psyche of the Supreme Court, from the mind that brought you Thank You for Smoking and Little Green Men.

Resistance, by Agnes Humbert (translated by Barbara Mellor)
Subtitled “A Woman’s Journal of Struggle and Defiance in Occupied France”, this moving first-person account of the German occupation of France during the Second World War is a gripping read. Agnes Humbert was a respected art historian and a founder of the Musee de l’Homme resistance group. Her original journal was published in France in 1946, but never before translated into English.

Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men, by Michael Kimmel
Based on interviews with young men aged 16 to 26, high school to college, frat house to military academy, sports bar and beyond, Kimmel provides insight into what constitutes “Guyland”, a phase of social development that is seemingly immune to the influences of parents, girlfriends, kids and other hallmarks of adulthood.

Indignation, by Philip Roth
The newest novel from PEN and National Book Award winning author Roth, Indignation has been described as Roth’s most autobiographical novel yet. The book tells the tale of a young man from Newark, NJ experiencing college in the Midwest in the early 1950’s, struggling to understand the cultural and social constrictions of a very different world.

Being Elizabeth, by Barbara Taylor Bradford
Okay, I’ll admit it – I ordered this one based on the title alone. But it’s not about me, or even a librarian.
Being Elizabeth is the story of a young woman catapulted to a senior position in a global corporation after the death of the matriarch. In classic Bradford fashion, this novel tells the tale of a woman who is successful because she is determined, clever and committed, but not without sacrifice and heartbreak along the way. Doesn’t sound a bit like my life, but an entertaining read nonetheless.

This is just a sampling of titles found in the Leisure Collection, located on the 2nd floor

Take a gander, and get to know how the library can better serve you!

A new list for a new school year



Top ten reasons to be excited about the start of a new academic year at Marian:


10. What, you actually enjoyed sleeping in, picnics in the park and mowing the lawn? Yeah, right…

9. Anyone up for a rousing game of musical parking spots?

8. With Ray Haberski off to Copenhagen courtesy of the nice people at Fulbright, someone else might get to check out some of the history movies from the library for a change.

7. “Dracula” is on the fall theatre schedule, along with Civic Theatre’s production of “Little Shop of Horrors”. Anyone else think that might be a good week for a blood drive?

6. Spending the summer on the road as a Dave Matthews Band groupie just isn’t as enlightening and um…collegial as it used to be…or maybe we’re just getting old.

5. Enrollment is up this fall! So many new freshmen, so few new practical jokes…

4. Big news -- Over the summer, the college installed whirlpool jets in the fountain! Woo-hoo! Back-to-school hot tub party!

3. Change of plans for the Day of Service – we’re all headed over to President Elsener’s house to make salsa with that bumper crop of organic tomatoes!

2. Microsoft Vista is rolling out across campus in waves. It’s kind of like hurricane season if you think about it, although hurricane season will end in November.

1. Mid-terms are right around the corner and you know what that means – free popcorn at the library!



Brought to you by the lively and creative staff of the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Memorial Library, reminding you that the library offers so much more than just books and a place to study.
Stop in and see what the library can do for you!

New look, better research!


One of our more popular databases providers, Ebsco, has undergone an "interface lift". Don't be alarmed, the services haven't changed. Actually, there are even more options with the new searching interface, including a new "visual search" option. Here's a new reason to start your research early. Ask a librarian if you have any questions about it. Happy searching!
