New Exhibit at Reese Library Showcases Community Artists

(posted June 8, 2012)

Works by Cyndy Epps and Angelika Selman-Bondar are now featured in the current exhibition at Reese Library’s Second Floor Gallery.

Both artists are members of the Artists Guild of Columbia County and exhibit throughout the CSRA. Epps served as president of the organization from 2008 to 2011 and is currently a partner at downtown’s Gallery on the Row. In describing her paintings, Epps claimed she “loves the challenge of taking a blank canvas or wall and transforming it with paint to create a sense of depth and space that allows the viewer to imagine being part of the scene.”

Angelika Selman-Bondar, also well-known throughout the CSRA, considers herself a multi-media artist. Recognized as an Outstanding Art Teacher in Visual Art by the Morris Museum of Art in 2008, Selman-Bondar is “always seeking new ways to create art and bring new or different techniques to (her) students.”

Her work includes sculpture, photography, fibers, printmaking, drawing, painting, jewelry, assemblage, and ceramics. Selman-Bondar’s range of work is highlighted in this summer’s Second Floor Gallery exhibit.

The exhibition will run from June through August 31st, 2012. It is open to the public and is available for viewing during regular Reese Library Hours. Information about this and previous Second Floor Gallery exhibits is available at http://guides.aug.edu/gallery.

The Reese Library is dedicated to providing rich and educational programming to Augusta State University and the CSRA community. The Second Floor Gallery is regularly used for such programming and frequently serves as a venue for local artists, traveling exhibitions, and distinguished lectures.

ASU Celebrates National Library Week, April 8-14, 2012

(posted April 6, 2012)
This week, schools, campuses and communities across the country celebrate National Library Week, a time to remind the public about the contributions libraries, librarians and library workers make to their communities every day.

Libraries have historically served as our nation's great equalizers of knowledge, providing free access to information for all people. Libraries help level the playing field by making both print and digital information affordable, available and accessible to all people. This includes job seeking resources, materials in a variety of print and electronic formats, cultural heritage and genealogical collections, English as second language and citizenship classes and many other resourceful and creative programs.

Today diversity applies to more than different races and ethnicities, but varying physical disabilities, sexual orientations, ages, languages and social classes. Libraries and librarians throughout the country are working to design their collections and services to meet the diverse needs and interests of their communities.

Here are just a few of the things you can do this week at Reese Library:

Monday, April 9th @ 1:00pm
Family Room Unveiling
Join us as we unveil the revamped Family Room and the new Family Room Door, designed by our own ASU Jaguars! The event is cosponsored by the Advocacy Group for Evening and Non-Traditional Students and will feature a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony and goodies for the little ones.

Located on the third floor, the Reese Library Family Room is available for any ASU student, faculty, or staff who bring their children to campus. More information can be found here.

Tuesday, April 10th
Library Workers Day
Tuesday is the nationally-recognized Library Workers Day!
Get to know the diverse and friendly staff at Reese by viewing the new display case located on the first floor by Circulation. Leave behind a note or two letting your favorite Library Workers know how much you appreciate their service.

Through April 14th
Reese Library’s Facebook “Like Us” Photo Contest
Reese Library is excited to announce its first Facebook Photo Contest.
This year the theme is “Like Us,” so simply like us and post! Feel free to interpret the theme any way you want- be creative! The only stipulation is that Reese Library must be featured in your photo.

A $25 JAG CARD PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED TO THE WINNER!!!

Open Access

Open Access seeks to revolutionize how scholarship is shared, making possible free, immediate, online access to high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly research coupled with unrestricted rights to its use.

The resulting opportunities are immense: Students would have access to the research they need for a complete education; researchers could have their work read and cited more often; and millions of articles could be read and analyzed by computers, surfacing better results more quickly, and allowing discoveries to be made sooner.

The Student-led Right to Research Coalition, which represents nearly 7 million students internationally, is working to educate students on the importance of Open Access and to advocate for policies that open up access to research at the campus, national, and international level.

Photography on Exhibit in Reese Library

Embracing the Eye/I by photographer Rick Banks
Rick Banks has studied photography at Georgia Southern University and the Art Institute of Atlanta.
Describing the exhibition, Mr. Banks states " When I began this project, my intention was to highlight particular parts of the body in artistic fashion- the parts of the body that my subjects considered to be their best physical attributes. It soon evolved into an opportunity to capture spirit, peace, confidence, and self-love. All of these are elements that are typically present when one truly loves one’s body. In the exhibition “Embracing the Eye/I”, I am interested in re-examining the ways in which viewers engage with images and respond to a diversity of body types and shapes. The images are celebratory and are intended to spark conversations about how we see or don’t see ourselves."

After the War: Nation-Building from FDR to George W. Bush
By: James Dobbins, Michele A. Poole, Austin Long, Benjamin Runkle
The RAND Corporation, 2008

This book addresses the manner in which U.S. policy toward postconflict reconstruction has been created and implemented and the effect that these processes have had on mission outcomes. Through the lens of presidential decision making style and administrative structure, from the post-World War II era through the Cold War, post-Cold War era, and current war on terrorism, it is both possible and necessary to reassess how these elements can work in favor of, as well as against, the nation-building goals of the U.S. government and military and those of its coalition partners and allies.

After the War will be provided with free, unlimited access
April 1-30 through NetLibrary in GALILEO.

GIL Express Suspension Postponed

(Posted October 1, 2008)

We have received many concerns from faculty and administrators around the System with respect to the negative impact a suspension of the GIL Express service will have on core activities such as instruction and research. We want to be responsive to these concerns and so we are continuing GIL Express through the end of Fall Semester with the expressed intent of finding a way to support this service going forward. I believe that working in good faith with all areas of the System Office and our campuses, we can find a way to address the required budget cuts while maintaining this critical service.

Thanks to all who have voiced concerns about the loss of GIL Express. We want to make the best decisions we can in these difficult times to protect the viability of the very reasons we exist; teaching, learning, and scholarship.

Among his long fiction is: The Viking, 1951, which was made into a motion picture starring Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.
