Black History Month

From now through February 28 we have free trials of three databases:

Black Thought and Culture

Black Women Writers

Black Drama

These can be accessed from any computer on campus, but they aren't available from off-campus.
If you use them, please let the library know what your impression is. Are they databases we should add to our permanent offerings?

Displays and Exhibits

One part of the Curry Library that hasn't gotten much publicity is our ongoing program of offering timely displays from our collection. We invite you to Come to Curry to see our offerings in this regard. Right now there are two displays up and another is on the way in another week or so.

Truman Memorabilia celebrates both the recent gift to WJC of personal communications from Harry Truman to Jack Capps and the upcoming visit to campus for Achievement Day of historian David McCullough. We're showing Truman letters, pictures and autographed books, as well as books by McCullough.

Michael Osterholm will present the Cope Lecture in Gano Chapel on February 7. We have put up a display introducing him and his topic, Pandemic Flu: Facing the Threat.

The Faces of ... is a display of art work focusing on the problem of violence against women, which will be installed during the second week of February as part of the larger campus program associated with the production of The Vagina Monologues.

Later in the semester, look for the announcement of a display in connection with Holocaust Remembrance.
