Changes in the Basement
Over the winter break, Nadine and I worked on a major project in the basement to shift the curriculum library and reset the children's literature area in order to integrate the adolescent literature section.
The curriculum library is now located at the beginning the periodical section. It has had the shelves cleaned and disinfected and can now grow in the ample space it has been allocated. The shelving has also been adjusted to a more uniform configuration.
The collections comprising childrens literature and adolescent literature are in the process of being integrated/relabeled and a "new" collection title of YOUTH LITERATURE has been assigned. This new collection is moving into the space once shared by the childrens literature and will also have ample room to expand.
As one of the last phases of this project, labels will be placed on the shelving to assist students and faculty in finding materials.

See what can be done with statistics
The other night when I was working my night shift, Paula Sanders showed me this really cool site that makes use of statistics, computing and art.
http://flowingdata.com/
Some representations of statistical data have animations. We were especially awed by the Walmart stores growth and the immigration to the United States over the past hundred years.
We marvelled at the interdisciplinary approach to data--using creativity and intelligence to represent the same statistic.
