Are you a first year student needing some background on The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang? Are you a professor teaching one of the first year seminars? The Pearson Library’s new First Year Experience Research Resources site for the first year reader is here just for you! The site offers students sources for literary criticism, book reviews, author interviews, and background on Hmong culture. For instructors, a “Faculty Corner” offers six information literacy modules that introduce students to important competencies such as evaluating information, avoiding plagiarism, using the library’s databases and much more. Use the modules as a class activity or invite an information specialist to conduct a session utilizing one of the modules with your students. You can find links to the new site on the library’s Information Sources page.

Have you “liked” the Information Systems and Services department (ISS) on Facebook? Not only will you have access to the Help Desk, Media Services, and Computer Training — you will also only be one click away from library databases, one-on-one help, and InterLibrary Loan requests.

Like us … use our services … <3 us.

Setting up the stage for the two plays this summer in Kingsmen Park

Grab a picnic basket and bring a blanket to Kinsgmen Park this summer for two plays put on by the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company. Before you go, immerse yourself in literary criticisms about the two plays, The Comedy of Errors and The Winter’s Tale, in The Cambridge Collections: Shakespeare Survey, available to students, staff, and faculty at CLU.

Don’t forget to check out the library’s entire collection of BBC produced Shakespeare plays, as well as more popular movies, such as Franco Zeffirelli version of Romeo and Juliet and the Baz Luhrmann version with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Find out more about the plays by visiting the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company’s website.
