Student Workers of the Month

Each year the library selects twelve students for the honor of Student Workers of the Month. The students are nominated by the circulation staff and voted on by the entire library staff. For September/October 2008 the awards go to:


Jingyi Chen (Annie)



Annie is from China and her major is elementary education. According to Annie, "It's wonderful to work in the library. I enjoy this semester very much!"








Jeremy Closs

Jeremy Closs is a 22 year old Religion major/ Theatre minor at ETBU. He is a transfer student coming in from Washington Bible College, in Lanham, Maryland. His wife Danielle and he were married recently, on 8/8/08, and are settling in to their new Texas home. So far, the people are nice and the food is good. When he's not working at Jarrett Library or in class, Jeremy enjoys reading whatever catches his fancy, writing whatever pops into his head, or killing his brain cells with television (Heroes, LOST and The Colbert Report are current favorites). He also loves cats, but sadly has too many college bills to get one of his own.



Alison Gray

Alison is majoring in radiology. According to Alison, "I want to be a radiology technician. I'm a freshmen this year from Hallsville, TX. I'm involved with my church, FBC Hallsville, with the youth and college bible study. I go to Journey and Release. I like running and working out, when I have time, with my lovely sister Sara. I don't watch much TV, but I LOVE watching The Office."






The staff of Jarrett Library is pleased to have these students working in the library. Congratulations Annie, Jeremy and Alison!

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...

Last year we added two history databases to our collections... U.S. History in Context and World History in Context .  Both are available through the GALE/Cengage Learning family of databases. U.S. History in Context "puts the tools of the historian into the hands of students..."  It strives to provide comprehensive coverage of the most-studied topics, from the arrival of Vikings in North America to Vietnam, Watergate, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  The database contains the expected journal articles, but also books, photographs, images, government documents, biographies, court cases, and streaming video.  Coverage includes African American Perspectives, American Colonies, the Supreme Court, Economics, Events, Decades, and Cultural Trends, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Political Constructs, Movements, and Organizations, and Wars & Conficts.
