Open Campus Forum, Copyright

The UW-Madison Libraries are sponsoring an open campus forum to look at how copyright issues have an impact on faculty, staff, and students. The goal of the forum will be to initiate an institutional discussion of the issues surrounding copyright, and to help identify specific examples of how faculty, staff and students encounter copyright challenges in their work.

Forum on Copyright Issues
December 2, (1:00 - 2:30 pm)

Open to all interested individuals.
Memorial Union (TITU)

Although registration for this forum is not required to attend, you can submit a Registration Form.

Wild about Turkey

Given that the Thanksgiving holidays are often celebrated by feasting—either upon a mythologized spread featuring a signature bird, or upon that which you would rather--I offer up several titles from Steenbock’s cookbook collection so that you may prepare accordingly (ideally amid friends and family).

(For some additional information about all things “turkey”, take a look at the Madison Public Library’s Turkey Resource Page (books and Web pages).

And, if you cannot locate one of these titles from the collection or if it is already checked out, do speak with a librarian for assistance; we can help you locate a copy.

Campus Libraries' Holiday Hours

During the week of the Thanksgiving holiday, campus libraries will observe some changes from their regular hours of operation. Do plan ahead should you need to visit the libraries or pick up items from their collections. Steenbock Library hours are posted on our home page and on our hours page. Hours of operation for all campus libraries can be found by browsing the list of libraries at the campus libraries page.

Of course, online resources are available twenty-four hours every day and can be accessed from off-campus as well.

Green Your Holidays

The Horticulture Society is selling poinsettias ($14.00), Norfolk Island pines ($8.00), and Christmas cacti ($8.00)—great for cheering your living space or for giving to the plant-lovers you know and appreciate.

Sale ends November 26; send your purchase request to a Society member through email (uwhortclub@hotmail.com) or by visiting the Horticulture Department main office (1575 Linden Drive).

For more information, visit the Plant Sale page.

As the Snow Flies

What with the dusting of snow we received this week and the anticipation of much more, I thought it would be appropriate, if not fun, to share some recommended book titles—the theme being “snow”.

Charlie English, deputy editor of the Saturday Guardian has generated a books column with his recommendations of those snowy titles.

With the exceptions of English’s own title and Snow by Ruth Kirk, campus libraries have copies of all the books recommended on this list. (Other Kirk titles are in the collections; Snow can be obtained using a UW System search and retrieval!)
