Recommending Reading Nov. 8, 2006

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

From NPR’s “You Must Read This.�

Scott Turow, author of 5 novels including Presumed Innocent, recommends Tell Me A Riddle by Tillie Olsen. The title novella in Tillie Olsen’s Tell Me a Riddle, says Scott Turow, “achieves the shocking brevity and power of the best poems.”

“It is the tale of an aged husband and wife, Eva and David, immigrants and former revolutionaries, now confronting many disappointments at the ends of their lives, not the least of them with each other. Both are half broken by the burdens they have borne: she by the tireless tending for seven children that has led her by long habit to find her only comforts in solitude, he by the struggle to support that teeming family that has left him yearning now to sell their house and buy his way into the Haven, where he will at last live carefree among friends. After a long hard life together, life has driven them apart.�

New Titles from the ACLS History E-Book Project

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

The ACLS History E-Book Project (HEB) and Rutgers University Press are pleased to announce the cooperative publication of two new electronic titles that bring sound and video into the electronic monograph. Through HEB the Press has issued e-versions of Fred Nadis, “Wonder Shows: Science, Religion, and Magic on the American Stage” (http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=acls;cc=acls;idno=heb90024.0001.001;view=toc), and Krystyn Moon, “Yellowface: Creating the Chinese in American Popular Music, 1850s-1920s” (http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=acls;cc=acls;idno=heb90023.0001.001;view=toc). The first incorporates several short films that document the American fascination with the wonders of science and technology. The second uses a series of complete musical performances that accompany the sheet music and analysis. Both titles include standard HEB features such as complete cross-searchability, robust XML text and annotation,enhanced image handling, related historiography and online reviews that create an interoperable network of scholarship and its analysis.

For a list of HEB’s open-source XML tools and features see
http://www.historyebook.org/xml-features.html
Subscribers to HEB may access these complete e-books along with 1300 other titles currently in the collection.

According to HEB project directors Eileen Gardiner and Ron Musto, “Rutgers’achievement in this regard demonstrates how a university press, working collaboratively, can incorporate even the most robust electronic features into a standard and predictable workflow. ACLS congratulates Press Director Marlie Wasserman and her staff for this breakthrough. We also thank the Scholarly Publishing Office at the University of Michigan Library for its collaboration on the R&D for these titles.”

According to Wasserman, “Thanks to hard work by authors, the Press staff, and ACLS, as well as innovative technology, readers can now experience our books with imaginative and captivating enhancements we once never thought possible.”

Library Staff presents two sessions at the ALAO Conference 2006

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Shana Fair, Tracey Humphrey, and Amy Underwood will be away Friday, November 3. They will be attending the Academic Library Association of Ohio 2006 Annual conference. This team was invited to give two presentations. Their first session is Double, Double Toil and Trouble: Brewing Up Successful Workers. During this 45 minute session, the ZCL library staff will present their ingredients for training and empowering student workers to handle all types of situations encountered at the circulation desk. These types of situations run the gamut from technical problems with printers and copiers to people problems requiring skills to deal with difficult and stressful situations.

Their second presentation, a poster session entitled Public Services Pizza: The Works, presents techniques to stretch the library staff and ensure students and staff at Zane State and OUZ get a nutritious diet of services even thought staffing is limited.

Why the food related titles? The theme for the 2006th conference is Recipes for Library Success: Ingredients, Process, and Product.
