With September nearly coming to a close, I thought I should send off my first Quick Tip of the year. For those of you new to the History Department, I am your Library Liaison. This makes me your “Go to Person” at the library. When invited, I’ll attend your department meetings as an observer which will keep me connected to what is happening in your realm and give me an opportunity to see if the library can assist you in any way (i.e. books, films, databases, etc.). Periodically, I will send out Quick Tips that are geared specifically to your department. Below are links to our two new history specific databases. These replace the History Study Center.

If you need to access this off-campus, here is the remote access information.

__**Language **__ (Sue Donnelly) Subject: Well wishes from the librarians Greetings to all of the members of the Language Department from the librarians. We hope you all had an enjoyable summer and that you will let us know if you need anything from the library whether it’s for classroom use, books or videos and we will try to help you out. We plan have another display of our fiction in foreign languages this fall if you have any new titles that you would like to add. We are looking forward to seeing you and helping your students. Here's my September Tip: The Library has just updated the Cleveland Ethnic Eats book if you are looking for a great place to take your advisees or family over the break. There are many ethnic restaurants in the Akron/Cleveland area that you might want to try. Don't forget we welcome your suggestions for new materials. For those making suggestions for the first time just go to "Library" then Request New Material off of the WRA web page. Have a great week!!!

__**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Senior Seminar **__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 70%;">(Jacque Miller) Attended first Senior Seminar faculty meeting. Discussed how to handle Monday sessions (when all seniors meet) when there is no group lecture. It was decided that students will come to the library as instructed by their Sem teacher. The Public Lab has been booked for that time period (Mondays, 2nd period). If there is no scheduled class in the Classlab, students may spill over into that lab if necessary... Other details of the schedule for the year were discussed as well as the Senior Sem Action Plan and the Senior Seminar ISACS report. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sent Library Quick Tip #1 on 9/13 <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> If any of you are movie buffs, you might be interested in the series coming out in November on TNT: Series Title: [|**MOGULS & MOVIE STARS: A HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD**].
