News and Updates Sept. 30, 2009

Hi folks,

Several updates, news and announcements.

• I will be away from Friday, Oct. 2nd to Tuesday, Oct. 13th on my trip to LIBER (Spain Books Fair). I will be available to teach a library instruction class and do student consultations after Oct. 14th.

• The Library is celebrating Banned Book Week: This is an annual celebration that "highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted banning of books across the United States." We created a library guide, with great information on titles banned in the US past and present, and I created a page that shed light about banned books around the world. Please let your students know about this resources. In addition we have an exhibit at the library in the Plaza Level that we encourage student and faculty to visit.

• We will have readings, during the week, of previous or current banned books. I will be reading today at 3:30pm excepts from The Open Veins of Latin American by Eduardo Galeano. Hope to see you there!
  

Talking about Subject Library Guides, I want to let you know about our latest guides that we feel are really useful to get access quickly to both library and free online sources.

• eReference Books in the Social Sciences: This guide is a discipline-based list of electronic reference titles selected from the thousands of eBooks licensed by the UConn Libraries. Use the subject tabs above to browse online encyclopedias, dictionaries and other reference materials selected by social science library liaisons. I created a tab that include the following subjects: Latin American Studies and two sub-tabs (you will see a small down arrow to denote a drop down menu) for Hispanics/Latinos in the US and Spanish.

• Social Science Statistics: This subject guide provide sources of statistical information in both licensed library databases and on the internet, selected by social science library liaisons. I created one for Latin American Studies, but there are many other that will be useful if you want to find both tables and data on social science subjects.

Hope you enjoy the information and find it useful. If you have find other resources that you think we should add to the guide, please let me know.

New Acquisitions in HOMER August 31, 2009 Part 1

Hi folks,

Here is the most recent list of books published in English and Spanish acquired by the library. I have divided the list in two 1) Broader topics such as Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Latino Studies, History, Diaspora, etc. 2) List of books country by country from the Americas.

In other news, we acquired recently this microfilm set, Papers of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee 1959-1970. This set is located in Level 3, with the other microfilms set that the library owns. In other good news, we acquired a brand new digital microfilm scanner/reader--which not only let you see the microfilm reader, but also let you scan the film and email it or print it for you. The printer is now connected to the main printers in the library and you can use your Husky One Card to pay for your print out, or you can scan and email your scan for free. There is a learning curve to learn to use this scanner, so feel free to contact any of the student staff at the Learning Commons Desk to ask to be trained to use the scanner,

The breadth of information covered is impressive and Davis offers keen insights into the ways that Spanish female readers were informed about a myriad of political, social and cultural events of the fin de siglo through the prism of fashion. Blanca Valmont addressed the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Panama Canal, stock market fluctuations, positivism, feminism and women's property rights, in addition to topics more immediately germane to domesticity, such as children's education.” For the full review, visit, http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/arizona_journal_of_hispanic_cultural_studies/v010/10.1surwillo.html

You need to create a profile the first time you use this product which will record your contact info and preference regarding how to get your interlibrary loan requests and where to send it (to your library or home address).

3) There is still time to ask me to teach your students about our library resources, research strategies and citation style. Except for the week of October 3-10, I am available to teach either at the library or your classroom. Just let me know what do you prefer.

4) I will be away for a week, Oct 5-10, 2009 to attend LIBER (Feria Internacional del Libro) book fair in Madrid, Spain. If you want me to meet with a particular publisher in Spain, please let me know by email.

Women Fashion Magazines at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center

Hi folks,

I just wanted to share the latest addition to Thomas J. Dodd website's feature, Item of the Month: Women's Magazines and Fashion in the 19th Century Spain-A Snapshot of the Spanish Periodicals and Newspapers Collection.

For this piece, I selected images from the Magazine, Correo de la Moda, Madrid, T. 1, no. 9-26, 28 (Feb. - Dec., 1852), SPAN PER 444. This magazine, like other periodicals of the period, included color prints with the latest fashions in Paris, woodcuts of needle work patterns and sewing patterns, music scores composed exclusively for the magazine and, of course, many articles about what the well educated Spanish women should know about etiquette, history, literature and other edifying information. Most of the magazines were edited by men for a women audience, although there were other male magazines that included sections advising how to educate "el bello sexo," the beautiful sex.

This sample is just a snapshot of the wide variety of materials found in this collection, which include periodicals on literature, sciences, and politics from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century. Indeed an snapshot of Spanish culture--from the sublime to the comical, from good times to war times (Napoleonic war, Wars of Independence in Latin America)

Please, take the time to visit this Thomas J. Dodd website's feature, Item of the Month to learn more about who created this material and how we acquired for the archives.

Currently, the staff at the UConn Libraries are in the process of digitizing one of the many titles found in the collection: Correo de las damas o poliantea instructiva, curiosa y agradable de literatura, ciencias y artes published in Cadiz, Spain during the early part of the 19th century. We hope to digitize more women magazines in the future to make them more accessible to our users at UConn and our international scholars.

Latest HOMER acquisitions, March 30th 2009

Hi folks,

As you know, because the current financial crisis, the library and the Thomas J. Dodd research center have changed their hours. The library hours didn't change too much, we are opening at 8:30am Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday is still opening at 10am. Now, the Dodd Center change is more drastic today we are only opening from noon-4pm Monday to Friday and not opening during the weekend at all as we used to do. Consider these changes when requesting library and archival instruction classes.

Here is the latest list of material acquired and already available at the Homer Babbidge Library.

Enjoy!

International migration is high on the public and political agenda of many countries, as the movement of people raises concerns while often eluding states attempts at regulation. In this context, the scenario challenges conventional views on the need to control and restrict migration flows. This book explores the analytical issues raised by open borders, in terms of ethics, human rights, economic development, politics, social cohesion and welfare, and provides in-depth empirical investigations of how free movement is addressed and governed in Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia.--Publisher's description. Emigration and immigration--Boundaries.
  

• Riley, Jason. Let them in: The case for open borders. New York, N.Y.: Gotham Books, 2008. A conservative columnist makes an eye-opening case for why immigration improves the lives of Americans and is important for the future of the country. He argues that our open-immigration policy goes a long way toward explaining the difference between robust economic growth in the United States and stagnation in places like Europe. Separating fact from myth in today's heated immigration debate, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board contends that foreign workers play a vital role in keeping America prosperous; that maintaining an open-border policy is consistent with free-market economic principles; and that the arguments put forward by opponents of immigration ultimately don't hold up to scrutiny.--From publisher description.
