Some Serials Moving to MARS
April 2012 Shannon Sisco
You might have seen the magazines and journals on the book trucks recently and wondered what was happening. With hitting the 6000 mark on the Basque Database, we need to make room for continued growth in that area.
Older journals that we are no longer adding to the collection and/or also available on the internet have been scheduled to move to MARS.
Be reassured, you still have access to them. A request made in the catalog will have it available to pick up at the main circulation desk within minutes.

Basque Database Important Milestone
February 2012 Shannon Sisco
An important goal of the Basque Library is to provide access to materials about the Basque diaspora and general information about Basques worldwide to anyone who might be interested. The bulk of our materials are available to searching through the main Library catalog, but we recommend using the Basque Database search on our Library home page as is also includes more books not in the main catalog. We expect to reach 6,000 additional books in a couple of months.
Erik Holland Art Exhibit
February 2012 Shannon Sisco
With the help of Zoe Bray, we are happy to display the art of Erick Holland. Mr. Holland is a local artist that has a large repertoire and has graciously agreed to show some of his paintings that have a Basque theme. Ranging from arborglyphs, hotels, bars, and the sheep grazing areas of the Sierra; his work has brought a lot of color to our walls.
If you wish to stop by and admire this local artist, we are open 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
His contact information is available through his website.
New and returning student workers to the Basque Library
January 2012 Shannon Sisco
Wintermester is coming to a close and we'll soon start the Spring semester 2012. This year we have familiar student faces returning to the Basque Library. Frank Gonzalez, Melanie Warfield, Stephanie Duffy were with us in the Fall semester 2011. We had bid a sad farewell to Melissa Kelley for the Fall semester. She studied abroad with the USAC program in Prague. She has returned and we are very happy to have her back. Without their valuable assistance many of the projects would not have been possible. Serving as a first contact to our visitors, students and faculty; they have worked on circulation issues, scanning projects, and the general day-to-day operations of our wonderful Basque Library.
