National Student Employment Week

The WSU Libraries would like to thank all of our wonderful student workers during National Student Employment Week, April 8 - 12.  Each of our students will receive a letter of thank you for their service as well as a coupon for $1 ice cream scoops from Ferdinand's!

Thank you, students, and enjoy your ice cream!

Last week a number the WSU Librarians participated in the annual Academic Showcase.

Exhibitors included Lihong Zhu, Kay Vyhnanek, Al Cornish, Vicki Croft, Marilyn Von Seggern, Corey Johnson, Erica Nicol, Linda Crook, and others.

Below is a compilation of some of the posters put on display by Library staff and faculty this year.

Great job, Cougars!!!

April is National Poetry Month! Did you know that the WSU Libraries have a wide selection of poetry - poems to help celebrate spring, poems that wail and cry, poems that make you laugh, poems that make you think! We hope you'll check out some poetry during the month of April. And, if you're looking for some inspiration or ideas of what poetry and poems to read, our April Reference Items of the Month may help you out.

Have a look at March's Reference Item of the Month, the Encyclopedia of Gender and Society. To learn more about this great resource, or about past reference items of the month, check out our website!

Classes are scheduled for EndNote and EndNote Web instruction.  EndNote enables researchers to manage, organize and integrate bibliographic research and ultimately format documents for publication.  The "Beginner's Class" introduces the basics of using EndNote and EndNote Web.  The 2nd class, "Cite While You Write," will show you how to format documents - both in-text and bibliographic citations into your documents and troubleshoot commonly encountered issues.

Pullman classes, conducted in Terrell 105 classroom:

Beginners Class - Tuesday, March 26th from 10 to 12.

Check out the amazing and comprehensive African American National Biography and get a better sense of the breadth and depth of the Aftican American experience! For more information about this reference work, or for past highlighted reference items, please have a look at our website http://libguides.wsulibs.wsu.edu/refitemofthemonth!

Each Thursday at 12 noon during the month of February we will be showing one episode from the documentary series For Love of Liberty: the story of America's Black Patriots in the African American Students Center.
