New Look!

Have you seen the new Mamye Jarrett Library home page?  It came up on Monday, December 16th along with all the other new University web pages.  Thanks to Ms. Elizabeth Ponder who took on the task of keeping what was good about the old page and adding some of the new bells and whistles.  

With the library you'll mainly see the changes when it comes to the main page - we will continue to use our LibGuides for the remainder so you  can continue to get library information in the most efficient ways possible, particularly as regards the resources.

However, watch for changes in those pages too, for we are about to embark on LibGuides Beta which will also improve the way we do those pages!  Lots of cool changes coming your way - all in an effort to assist you with your library needs.

Black History Month Display: The Buffalo Soldiers

February is Black History Month and Jarrett Library has put up its annual display. This year the theme deals with the "Buffalo Soldiers." The "Buffalo Soldiers" were one of the first six all African American Army regiments created by Congress in 1866. Four of the regiments were infantry and two were cavalry. Cheyenne warriors, out of respect for the fighting abilities, gave the 10th Cavalry the nickname "Buffalo Soldiers" in 1867. Eventually all African American soldiers were referred to as "Buffalo Soldiers." The "Buffalo Soldiers" were sent to the outposts that were the furthest from civilization in areas where the weather and terrain were quite harsh. Mexican revolutionaries, outlaws, comancheros, cattle rustlers, and hostile Native Americans were just a few of the groups they were sent to subdue and/or fight. They also carried out many activities that allowed the west to be settled - mapping of the west, stringing telegraph wi

Welcome Back!

Image
Welcome back for the Spring 2018 semester.  Because of the way the school calendar is laid out at the beginning we wanted to clarify our hours through the first week of classes.  As most of you know classes will not actually begin until January 16th which is a Tuesday.  This is due to the Martin Luther King Holiday on the 15th.  Because of it falling outside of the regular semester we will not be open later on that day.  The first day of library hours will be the 16th. As usual, the Library will only be open until 9 PM that first week of classes.  So the hours for the 16th-18th will be 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.  As per our policy the doors will be locked 10 minutes before closing time, so if you need to come by make sure you are in the library by 8:50 p.m.  The hours on the 19th will be 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  Regular hours will resume on Saturday, January 20th. As a reminder, our regular hours are: Sunday:  4:00 PM - Midnight Monday-Thursday:  7:30 AM - Midnight Friday:  7:30 A
