Library Get Together for Grad Students

All graduate students and faculty (and their respective spouses) the MAR and MED programs are invited to a gathering on Friday, November 11th at 6 PM in the Heritage Room of the Library. We'll be having pizza and fellowship, and also getting a few more tips on using the library, doing research, and whatever else might be of interest to you.

You need to register - but it's SO SIMPLE! Just go to the Library home page at http://www.etbu.edu/library/ and in the far right column you'll see a calendar and list of Jarrett Library events. Click on the link that says "Grad Student LIFT Party" (LIFT = Library Instruction For Tigers) and you'll see a registration form there. If you are bringing your spouse please register him or her separately so we can get an accurate count.

We hope to see you on November 11th!

Cheyenne warriors, out of respect for the fighting abilities, gave the 10th Cavalry the nickname "Buffalo Soldiers" in 1867.

They also carried out many activities that allowed the west to be settled - mapping of the west, stringing telegraph wi...

Spotlight on History...

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.
