AN INVITATION TO ALL
The IUS Library sponsors a monthly book discussion group called OPEN BOOKS, which welcomes members of the community as well as IUS staff members, students, and faculty. Regular attendees include several people from each of those categories, and that variety of viewpoints invariably makes for interesting and lively discussion, no matter what book is under examination.
We'd like to again invite everyone--staff, faculty, students, and commuinity members-- to join us on the second Friday of each month at noon in the Library, to enjoy coffee, lemonade, cookies, and good conversation. You don't have to make a regular commitment; you can come to as many or as few meetings as you like. Here is a list of the books we will be reading this year:
Sept. 11 A Spell of Winter, by Helen Dunmore (A literary, somewhat Gothic novel set in turn-of-the-
century England)
Oct. 9 Return of the Native, by Thomas Hardy (Classic Hardy.)
Nov. 13 I Served the King of England, by Bohumil Hrabal (An exuberant, witty, and wise novel
about recent Czech history, by the author of Closely Watched Trains.)
Dec. 11 A Child's Christmas in Wales, by Dylan Thomas (Warm and poetic Christmas memoir)
Jan. 8 Five Red Herrings, by Dorothy Sayers (Arguably the world's best mystery writer.)
Feb. 12 When You Are Engulfed in Flames, by David Sedaris (Hilarious observations on
life by this talented memoirist.)
March 12 Infidel, by Hayaan Hirsi Ali (A controversial view of contemporary Islam.)
April 9 The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society , by Anne Barrows and Mary Ann
Schaffer (A warm and charming novel in letters set in an occupied British island during WW I)
May 14 Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha, by E. A. Burtt (A concise introduction to Buddhist
thought guided by a renowned scholar.)
Please join us for one or more of these discussion.
OPEN BOOKS, the Library's campus/community book club, will meet on Friday, September 11, to discuss the book A Spell of Winter, by Helen Dunmore.
GAME NIGHT WAS FUN! So let's have another.

Everyone is welcome at this LITTLE KNOWLEDGE presentation to be held in the Library at 12:15 on Wednesday, Feb. 27. Feel free to bring your lunch! |
OPEN BOOKS this Friday
Friday, Dec. 14, we'll have our last OPEN BOOKS session of the semester, in LB230 at noon. We're discussing Three Cups of Tea, an unusual book which appears to be on its way to becoming a best-seller. It's the story of a very interesting, and probably neurotic, American mountain-climber who has become a hero in the rural mountainous areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan by building village schools. Greg Mortenson has gradually become a very important person both in those countries and in the U.S., and this book presents an account of that. Come join us!
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE...Social Networking with Maria Accardi
Tuesday, Jan. 29
Facebook, MySpace, Mojo, Second Life—how are these interactive social networking sites changing the way we communicate? How do they affect the academic community, and the way we do research? Maria Accardi, Instruction Librarian and social network aficionada, discusses these issues in our January A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE… presentation on Tuesday, January 29, at 12:15pm in the Library, LB230. Come and find out what those mesmerized students in the back of the room are doing with their cellphones and laptops!!!
Everyone is welcome, and feel free to bring your lunch.

Spring 2007 A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE...and OPEN BOOKS Schedules
A LITTLE KOWLEDGE...
FEBRUARY: Just how do you go about writing a successful novel? Virginia Anderson, an IU Southeast English professor, has published several novels and has just completed a new one called "The Drowned Man," a work which combines elements of mystery and mysticism with a searing psychological study of toxic parenthood. Join us as Dr. Anderson reads from this work, and discusses and answers questions about the PROCESS of writing and publishing a novel. Feb. 19, 12:15 pm, LB 230. Everyone is wecome.
MARCH: While torture is universally condemned, it seems to persist in the world. Are there ever times when torture is justified? Does torture actually work for any good end? While most of us have strong, even passionate responses to these questions, we can all benefit from an objective look at the evidence from scientific research. Join Dr. Bill Ferrell of the IUS Criminal Justice Department as he discusses "Torture and Enemy Combatants" from a research perspective. Thursday, March 22, 12:20pm, in LB230. Everyone is welcome.
APRIL: Fourteen years ago, IU Southeast psychology professor Dr. Diane Wille visited and collected information from a group of new mothers and their infants, with an eye to studying attachment processes. Fourteen years later, she is still visiting and keeping track of the same group, with 14 years of data to theorize about. The infants Dr. Wille visited in 1993 are now teenagers! Join us as Dr. Wille shares some of the data and conclusions from her ongoing longitudinal study of parenting and attachment. April 16, 2007, 12:15-1:15, LB230. Everyone is welcome!
OPEN BOOKS
FEB: OPEN BOOKS, the IU Southeast Library`s campus/community book discussion group, will be discussing Stephen King`s most recent novel, Lisey`s Story, which has been widely praised by critics. While this novel is less sensational and more literary than any of King`s previous works, this story of a marriage is embellished with some of King`s usual devices. Come join us as we discuss this book--everyone is welcome. LB230, Friday, Feb. 9, 12 noon.
MARCH: IU Southeast Library`s campus/community book discussion group will meet March 9, 2007, to discuss Louisville author Mary Welp`s novel of politics, love, and marriage--with the author! Mary Welp has agreed to come to the session to talk about the book, The Triangle Pose, answer questions, and most of all, to hear our thoughts about her novel, which happens to take place in Louisville. This is definitely not a "local" story however; Welp deals with universal issues (marriage, children, adultery, friendship) with insight and dead-on humor. Join us for this special session! Everyone is welcome. March 9, 12 noon, LB230.
APRIL: OPEN BOOKS, the IU Southeast Library`s campus-community book discussion group, will meet on Friday, April 13, to discuss Australian psychologist Cordelia Fine`s book about how the brain really works, A Mind of Its Own . If you think your conscious mind is in charge of your life, think again! Fine discusses research which shows how the subconscious mind controls our actions and even our thoughts, and she does it in a breezy and entertaining style. While this is certainly not a scholarly work, it does present the research in a responsible way. Join us for a discussion of this very current topic in LB230, Friday, Apr. 13, 12noon. Everyone is welcome!
Remnant Trust Documents on Display
The IU Southeast Library is hosting an exhibit of original and first edition historical documents from the Remnant Trust, a public educational foundation headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

A series of lectures have been scheduled by the Common Experience Program to complement this exhibit. The lecture schedule can be found at http://www.ius.edu/commonexperience .

Join Dr. Bill Ferrell of the IUS Criminal Justice Department as he discusses "Torture and Enemy Combatants" from a research perspective. Thursday, March 22, 12:20pm, in LB230. Everyone is welcome.

The fastest and most efficient way to find out whether the IUS Library provides access to a specific electronic journal is to use IUCAT. No more guessing which database to look in! Just go to IUCAT, type in the name of the magazine or journal, and click on "Periodical Title." You will get a listing for that title. Click on the red "Display" box, and on the resulting page, click on the blue URL identified for Southeast. This will take you to the database that contains full-text of that magazine. As always, if you need assistance, call the Reference Desk, 941-2489.

JSTOR: A Treasure Trove of Scholarly Literature
Whether your scholarly pursuits are focused on mathematics or music, Slavic studies or statistics, the JSTOR online collections offer you access to the full text (including graphs, tables, and illustrations) of the most eminent academic journals.
Unlike most online collections, which often cover only the most recent decade or so, JSTOR collections offer the ability to delve deeply into a subject: access begins with the first issue of the journal, and coverage extends almost to the present (by agreement with publishers, most titles use a "moving wall," that restricts access to the most recent issues of a title).
The IUS Library is very pleased that this year it has significantly expanded access to the JSTOR collections. We now offer all five of the JSTOR Arts and Sciences Collections, encompassing some 500 key journals.
To connect to JSTOR, click this link from any campus workstation.
From off-campus, connect to the Library website, and look for JSTOR under Article and Database Search.
If you have questions about this, or other Library resources, call the Reference Desk, at 812-941-2489.
