All Me Duty to Ye!


Hej! Aloha! Dobar dan! Latha math! All me duty to ye!

You've just been greeted in five languages - Swedish, Hawaiian, Croatian, Scottish Gaelic, and Pirate.

Okay, Pirate isn't exactly a language, but you can still learn to speak like a Pirate and converse like a native in 70 other languages using the Mango Languages database.

Are you heading on a travel study trip next May? Perhaps you're searching your family history and found out some of your ancestors were from Greece or Finland, or perhaps Thailand. Whatever your reason for learning a language, this is the place to go.

Currently these languages are available (one caveat: some languages are less developed than others, mainly those that are new to the database - keep coming back to see what has been added):

American Sign Language - Arabic (Egyptian, Iraqi, Levantine, MSA) - Armenian - Azerbaijani - Bengali - Cherokee - Chinese (Mandarin) - Croatian - Czech - Danish - Dari - Dutch - Dzongkha - English - Farsi (Persian) - Finnish - French - French, Candian - German, Greek (Modern, Ancient, Koine) - Haitian Creole - Hawaiian - Hebrew (Modern, Biblical) - Hindi - Hungarian - Icelandic - Igbo - Indonesian - Irish - Italian - Japanese - Javanese - Kazakh - Korean - Latin - Malay - Malayalam - Norwegian - Pashto - Pirate - Polish - Portuguese (Brazilian) - Punjabi - Romanian - Russian - Scottish Gaelic - Serbian - Shakespeare English - Shangahinese - Slovak - Spanish (Latin America, Spain) - Swahili - Swedish - Tagalog - Tamil - Telugu - Thai - Turkish - Tuvan - Ukrainian - Urdu - Uzbek - Vietnamese - Yiddish.

To access Mango Languages go to the Library's home page at http://www.etbu.edu/library/ then click the link "Databases A to Z" and find the "M" tab, then find Mango Languages in the list.

The first time you do this you'll see both a log-in section or a registration link. If you haven't registered do so at this time, or if you have registered before just log in. Once logged in the system will keep up with what languages you are studying and which lesson you are working on. You may go back and revisit a lesson or portion of a lesson at any time, going on whenever you feel comfortable.

There are also mobile apps available for Android, Apple, Kindle (Fire), and Nook. Download the Mango app to any of these devices, log-in as you have registered yourself, then enjoy learning the language of your choice anywhere you want - Mango will continue to keep up with where you are and where you are going!

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
