Newest Acquisitions in HOMER Dec. 5, 2007

Hi folks,

I can't believe is already December with "Navidades" and "Año Nuevo" and "Día de Reyes" just around the corner. So, before you immerse yourselves into the holidays, remember to send me your request for instructional classes for the Spring Semester. I want to be sure I can find a classroom for you.

Also, I want to announce for those of you that like to use Codices for your classes, we acquired three CD-ROMs for the following codices:

• El códice chavero de huexotzingo
• El códice huichapan
• El códice colombino (this is a good alternative from the facsimile at Dodd which is poor quality)

These CD-ROMs can be checked out anytime at the Homer Library.

Finally, I have an extra copy of this book,

Mental Disability Rights International. 2000. Human rights & mental health : Mexico : A report. Washington, DC: Mental Disability Rights International.

This report is from one of the organizations that just won the Dodd's award. If you are interested on this copy, please contact me. This is a first come, first serve offer.

Now here are the most recent acquisitions at HOMER (No all books are available right away-some of them are in the bindery but you can still place a hold for them)
